News Media: CNN and its disinformation campaigns

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

News Media Disinformation: CNN's latest creations

However, really it is a tragic word, for it's really about getting to the TRUTH of any matter, not being brainwashed by the mass media and so-called 'experts' who are approved dupes of the system trotted out to persuade a public
which lacks the ability to reason after mass indoctrination for probably a century, through schools, press, books [ones published to promote a particular slant, but full of distortions or lies], not to mention the obvious, political-agenda'd movies.

Yes, CNN's fabrication of the arrest of the suspect on Wednesday, April 17, is an example of disinformation by the media.
Even though the FBI said it was disinformation, those who questioned CNN's story were labeled by some pro-Communist liberals as being conspiracy theorists. No wonder CNN is also known as the "Communist News Network."

Let us hope that people will not rely on the media alone, especially with CNN's disinformation and the rest of the media who picked up that bogus story.

The FBI said that the Boston Marathon bombing suspects were planning other bombings. Apparently, they were going to hit MIT, but were prevented from doing so. With the extra bombs and material found on them and in the apartment, they could have been planning an April 20 event. We probably will never know. Perhaps the hospitalized suspect will talk or perhaps he will remain silent. Perhaps he does not know as his brother was in charge and he was only following orders. That is the way cells operate, and that is the real danger. According to an FBI report I read several years ago that was released by the media, members of a "cell" often do not even know the rest of the "cell" members or who is giving them ultimate orders (the real "boss").

Then that reminds me of the L.A. riots in the 1990s. In the confusion of it all, it seems like there was a conspiracy which was later released by the government which shows that certain CIA agents did provoke these riots and that there were drugs and guns involved.

Does anyone remember the Iran-Contra hearings involving Col. Oliver North who implicated the CIA involvement with drugs, guns, and money laundering? Our government is not innocent.

Although the above two stories may be considered to be conspiracy theories by some, they did in fact happen. There have been some CIA agents who worked to foment agitation and/or who have been moles or double agents.

News Media: CNN and its disinformation campaigns

Post by Barbara »

Notice they waste ALL your time on one event. I was getting so sick of the news about that and had to search for a very alternative website to find out ANY
news of what is going on the outside WORLD beyond this one recent CNN engineered event. That is, of course, a part of the plan to make the US publid
take the prize for the most ignorant and dumbest on the face of the earth ! It already has that reputation anyway. So we here need to be nimble and
aware and separate our lives as much as possible from that bulk of half-awake people.

I think God WILL ask us why we were such DUPES if we don't at least get a general idea of what scams are being pulled off today.

Whereas what God will NEVER ask us about is how the Such and Such Football team did on a particularly Sunday afternoon...
THAT is the distinction that I imagine.

So uncontested acceptance of state controlled media is preferred?

Interesting....

No way.

I still question the CNN story about the initial arrest on Wednesday, April 17, 2012.
Why did they jump the gun and post such fiction?
Could it be that they wanted better ratings?
Or did the FBI goof?
Or was it intended disinformation released to take the suspects off guard?
Why did CNN not apologize for this disinformation and stand by their story?

Then there was the CNN video which showed a naked but a very much alive
T. Tsarnaev getting into a police car without any assistance.

I heard this live on KFI AM radio when it happened when the reporters said that he was asked to strip
in order to remove any explosives that might be concealed within his clothing.

Then about 30 minutes to an hour later, it was said that T. Tsarnaev was declared dead at the hospital.
Furthermore, the next day's news declared that his brother ran over T. Tsarnaev
while he lay on the ground surrounded by police, and that this was the cause of his brother's death.
Those two conflicting news stories show a real disconnect.
Either T. Tsarnaev got into the police car alive and naked, or he was run over by his brother.
If he were alive and naked without any apparent contusions on his head and neck,
how did he get those bruises and die? And why did the authorities say that he died of fatal gunshot wounds
when a naked shot of him revealed that he apparently was not mortally injured?

Did CNN manufacture the video and the story of a naked T. Tsarnaev getting into a police car?

These disconnects in news stories must be looked at carefully by our citizens.

Am I promoting conspiracy theories by questioning CNN?

Far from it.

I am demanding that CNN start reporting the truth and stop producing this type of disinformation.
This is the only way we can remain free. We can boycott CNN. We can demand a retraction.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

God will not ask us if we were DUPES, but where was our heart and soul.

Yes, we will be dupes if we believe false news reports that could cause us to lose our faith.
For example, during the time of Soviet Russia, particularly in Tito's time,
the Soviet news media declared that God was dead; that the Church was dead.
If we believed that falsified news, then we would be denying Christ's words
that He would always be with His Church and that the Devil would not prevail over it.

This in from Fox News: Is CNN using potty-mouthed chef to boost ratings?

  • “CNN is clearly deflecting families away from their programming, and doing so rather proudly,” media expert Angie Olszewski told FOX411 Pop Tarts column. “It’s sliding down a slippery slope of classless unprofessionalism.”

    Some critics are thus questioning whether this is exactly what Jeff Zucker had in mind when he officially took over as president of the network in January and set about boosting ratings.

While CNN has been busy manufacturing news to improve its ratings, the Boston Globe is revealing some interesting information:

  • WASHINGTON -- Russian authorities alerted the US government not once but ``multiple’’ times over their concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- including a second time nearly a year after he was first interviewed by FBI agents in Boston -- raising new questions about whether the FBI should have focused more attention on the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, according to US senators briefed on the probe Tuesday.
