Funny how things work out... just as the USG was regaining the legal ability to directly control domestic messaging by way of the US media - the media was feverishly working to obliterate the public's trust and ensure that it would take decades to rebuild its reputation. It almost looks intentional, if you are willing to ignore all the mixed messaging and self undermining - evident to any observer with attention span stretching beyond a single news cycle.
- jessaustin 5y agoMany decent journalists have worked for USA news media firms. It is nearly certain that some of them would hear the directive "you work for the military-industrial complex now" and respond by burning the whole thing to the ground. Unfortunately those decent and visionary journalists seem to have overestimated the attention span and reasoning ability of the American public. Also they forgot that they have always worked for the military-industrial complex. "Remember the Maine!"
- sennight 5y ago> ... decent journalists ... and respond by burning the whole thing to the ground. By deceitfully feigning hyper partisanship and misleading the public for years? I think we disagree on the fundamental definition of several words, including "certain", "decent" and "journalist".
