Seymour Hersh Alleges Obama Administration Lied on Syria Gas Attack

121. Arianna Huffington and AOL are both pro-Republican/Libertarian. At the moment, HuffPo

is going through the typical bait 'n' switch phase that all American media have gone through before ultimately being bought up by pro-Republican/Right-wing corporations. A good example is The New York Post that was - believe it or not - extremely liberal before 1976, before Murdoch bought it over and turned it into a right-wing rag.

It's been a cynical pattern throughout our history and across our country that has ultimately killed our Fourth Estate. Even MSNBC is beginning to show alarming signs of going through this transition from fact-based news to just another pro-corporate/anti-Democratic Party propaganda outlet.

The bait 'n' switch in American media starts out by being center-left to left in order to gain reader/viewership. Once they've achieved their goal, they're bought out by mega-corporations for millions/billions of dollars, and then slowly but surely pro-corporate propaganda is incorporated, replacing fact-based news.

Arianna knew how to make a buck by betting on the anger of the American people during the Bush years with no outlets for them to vent. HuffPo in its early days was anti-Bush and anti-Republican all the way, and she got some of the best liberal bloggers to volunteer, without any compensation, to write for her online newspaper. Then, as President Obama got elected, I noticed how more and more known Republicans were appearing on HuffPo. Then she made bank at $350 million and the transition that was already happening, is now halfway finished to become just another M$M propaganda outlet.
