Call Them Propagandists

American Thinker ^ | September 16, 2016 | J. Robert Smith

Question: If a reporter isnt committed to ferreting out the truth, wherever that truth leads; if adversarial applies to only to one side and not the other (in fact, the other side, in varying degrees, is being aided and abetted), is the reporter practicing journalism?

Obvious answer: No. The reporter isnt reporting, and journalism is merely a ruse. Whats being undertaken is propaganda. No exaggeration. Propaganda, it is, and mainstream media practitioners are propagandists. Its high time to brand both as such and make it stick.

So youre thinking this is much adieu about nothing. Generally, the public has been onto the MSM for years. Politico just ran a story: Opinion of Media Never Worse.

The article led with:

Record numbers of Americans consider the news media to be immoral, inaccurate, and biased, a new poll says. A plurality of Americans, 42 percent, said that the press was immoral, compared with 38 percent who viewed the news media as moral  a record high according to an annual Pew Research poll on the media.

Thank the Daily Show. It made it “cool” in the minds of these people to run propaganda outfits as “news”.



To: Kaslin

The Ministry of Propaganda is finally being recognized for what it is.

I fully expect most Americans will tune out right at the conclusion. Most people wrote off the MSM already : )

What’s the Daily Show?



To: Kaslin

JournoLists give ferrets a bad name!



To: VanDeKoik

Also, SNL, the late night talkers, and NPR. They present anti-conservative propaganda as entertainment. I listened to “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” (public radio) yesterday and it was a rollicking bash-fest against Trump. Haha, isn’t he awful. And they are funded with taxpayer dollars. I don’t know how that can be legal. Note to J. Robert Smith: It’s “much ado about nothing” not “much adieu about nothing”.
