(3,539 posts)I have gone through the video more than once and I can't be taking away the correct message.
What strikes me is that Murtaza Hussain is placing considerable blame on the media.
I so totally concur with that that it may be clouding my view.
You can call it spin or desire to get advertising or just serving their masters but our "news" has gone worthless.
Advertisers want ratings, the owners and the M.I.C want fear and war profit, and who the heck can fathom what influence the government may have. Toss in RW news sources where the only goal is to discredit the current administration and what you have is non stop disinformation.
I might start here. Their was (is) some terrorist sub group (likely many exist), Like a local garage band they may not have had a 'formal' name. So how do you report on the terrorists with no name, how do you plan a mission on the noisy kids in the garage across the street? It would not surprise me if the name were made up.
