Like calling margarine butterlike. Irradiating foodstuffs, the list goes on."The customer is so stupid, he won't know the difference. So phuk-em."

Not waiting for an asteroid either I guess....

I find myself absolutely unconcerned over this. One pixel in the bigger picture of dishonest media. Compared to some of the whoppers that they try to shove down our throats......

I guess the real fireworks show didn't match their "narrative" I think this is quite common, certainly editoral-wise.The problem is, the penchant for tweaking things extends to all facets of news gathering. How do you tell what is real and what is enhanced. when does it cross the line and become overt propaganda?

Welcome to an alternate dimension...that of a sizeable portion of the MSM.

Reality for these folks is fantasy rationale...

Kind of like young lads reading skin mags under their covers with a flashlight.

C'mon you guys. It's CBS. Even though it was fake, it was accurate.

One wonders what the media printed and broadcasted before there was internet.

It must have been some monumental mission for them to make socialist propaganda. Reporting only what they found suitable for their cause and ommiting the misery of people living in socialst paradise.

On the whole, they, the media, did an exellent job of misinformation. All one needs to see is comments of certain people here that swallowed the whole shebang, no questions asked.

It does not matter what their, the commenters, argument is, those who grew up in socialist paradise, know first hand and for the most part never succumbed to the propaganda. The thing is that with wholy encompasing socialist press, they never had any reports to the contrary.

How is it that desire for freedom, in most people is so strong, they know intrinsically without input what the nature of free society should be.

One ask, how can that be?

Dan Rather exposed these fakers for whatthey ae long ago when he was caught "fudging" the news.
Its why no one by Dhimis & the left watch them anymore. Look at the numbers declining. NO one really believs rhe MSM anymore. They only provide good celebrty gossip now.
Doing what they always did. Speculationg on gossip & innuendo, while pushing a leftist D anti God dogma on us all.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
