Yes. There seems to be, as I've seen much more informative news on foreign networks and in foreign newspapers. Especially concerning Obama, The War and Ron Paul's current status in the Republican GOP.

    We are talking about America that perfected propaganda with the help of Edward Bernays back in 1928 and our controlled media is one of the leading sources of propaganda throughout the world. As a matter of fact, our propaganda machine is so effective that the Russians studied American propaganda at one point to learn how to use it effectively.

    I notice that even Russia Today seems to have better news, than our own United Slaves of America, mainstream misleadia.

    If the media told the truth, tyrant Obummer would have been hung for TREASON long ago.

    Or perhaps, he wouldn't have ever been elected to anything, and so we would have never heard of him.

    Hey these phony two faced liars pick and choose or maybe are told what they can comment on and what to say. Hey, this sounds like communism or hard core socialism. I heard a good one this morning on the state run media. I was told where, what, how and when I need to invest or put my money by the media commentator. I tell you it sounds like a set up, put your money here and then so I can sell my holding and make a ton of money. I don't trust the state run media anymore, we need another major media that won't just report to or answer to the king and his Czar's. I think they need to tell it like it is to WE THE PEOPLE. I think it Would be great if people were expected to do something for a Monthly Check, especially when they are physically and or Mentally able. We are told what is politically correct and many times it has a special twist or spin on it, like the Trayvon, Zimmerman story??????

    By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.

    All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.

    --Adolf Hitler

    All negative reports on Obama are banned from MSM. False unemployment % are due to people running out of unemployment payments. 99 weeks that was available has been cut to 60 in some states only 26 weeks as they are going broke from the high demand.

    Absolutely. The other day I was in San Francisco. As you may know it is a huge tourist destination. I talked to people from Canada and as far away as China. They asked why the American people would elect a person like Obama. They said his failure has effected the whole world. I was surprised that this was an opinion shared by foreigners. The media says nothing about it.

    our media has completely lost the skill of reporting factual news in an unbiased manner. They have now become highly slanted opinion outlets devoid of facts. Hopefully there will be a new generation of talented journalists that can learn how to report news and fact or hopefully talent from abroad will get us the facts. If Woodward and Bernstein type reporters existed today the amount of dirt we would have on this administration would be front page everywhere, every day.

    Not only with Ron Paul but there is a black out with major news from over seas, like the nuclear reactor at Fukushima, all the corrupt business in our agriculture and many other things. They want to keep us stupid and they know the majority of folks get their information from dead sources like the TV.

    It's a verifiable fact Ron Paul has been a victim of a media blackout, whether it's ignoring the fact that he beats Obama in head to head polls (ones where Romney DOESN'T) or that Ron Paul is winning the majority of delegates in many states... either way the media is complicit in misinforming the American Public... They have also done a good job of marginalizing and ignoring the Liberty movement he inspired and the positions we advocate (ending the wars, auditing the federal reserve, ending deficit spending, ending domestic surveillance... just to name a few).

    Most of us out in the real world no longer get information from traditional "media", due to the censorship and management OF said information.
    Placing trust in the MSM/LSM is intellectual suicide, imho.

    ABSOLUTELY ! There is currently a Gag Order on the M.S.M. ........... not that they ever say anything negitive about the current socialist administration anyway - BUT - " If They Do , They Ain't Around For Long !
    The likes of NBC - CBS - ABC - CNN - MSNBC - Etc . are all in on this . FOX News was one of the only U,S. stations that stood tall , but even they have had the " Law Laid Down To Them As Well " . I've noticed this as well as many others I've talked to . FOX is not nearly as Bold as they once were . Don't get me wrong , they are still the most honest - Fair & Balanced news out there ......... but " something has changed and it ain't good " . You can also get some Very Good News from out of the country , if you care to look .

    "FOX is not nearly as Bold as they once were ."

    You sure nailed that one. I don't believe they have covered one story on the election fraud being committed by the GOP and the Romney Campaign. MSNBC has covered a little of it, but other than that, not one major network will touch the story.


    Of course, there is a FOX affilliate station in Cincinatti not under the control of FOX News Channel that has been investigating all of the fraud being committed in almost every state there has been a Primary or Caucus Election to date. Here's just one of many videos they have reported the fraud.



    Then there is the Felony Election Fraud in Wisconsin by Romney that no one is covering.

    You're exactly right. They know who butters their bread.

    Meanwhile, neither the WH, the Justice Department, nor any of Obama's well funded friends been able to find the least bit of fault with the forensic evidence. Their silence tells us everything we need to know because any of those groups would love nothing more than to sink Arpaio's credibility.

    The MSM is told what to write about by the Government and the Government does not want the people of this nation to know the truth about anything and the MSM is complicit and OBEY's their bosses. I have never trusted the MSM with their reporting of the news, I get all of my news from alternative news sources such as American Freedom Radio, Canada Free Press, and other such sources. We haven't had an honest or unbiased news source in America for a long time.

    There is a media something; not sure of the absolute color of what they are doing as they are doing nothing about anything that is important! Seem that they are afraid of Ron Paul, fearing that the people will see that he is the ONLY Choice for President; all else is like having a rotten egg between your ears, after awhile the smell will get to you!
