Washingtonsblog re Mainstream media lying, and MSM lying about war in particular: “There are five reasons that the mainstream media is worthless [re war]. 1. Self-Censorship by Journalists. Initially, there is tremendous self-censorship by journalists… 2. Censorship by Higher-Ups. If journalists do want to speak out about an issue, they also are subject to tremendous pressure by their editors or producers to kill the story… 3. Drumming Up Support for War. In addition, the owners of American media companies have long actively played a part in drumming up support for war... 4. Access.Politico reveals: For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post has offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to “those powerful few”: Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and — at first — even the paper’s own reporters and editors… 5. Censorship by the Government. Finally, as if the media’s own interest in promoting war is not strong enough, the government has exerted tremendous pressure on the media to report things a certain way… Can We Win the Battle Against Censorship? We cannot just leave governance to our “leaders”, as “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance” (Jefferson). Similarly, we cannot leave news to the corporate media. We need to “be the media” ourselves.
