Vanessa Beeley. The Propaganda Multiplier – Swiss Policy Research. Published: June 2016 / March 2019 Languages: DE, ES, FR, IT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RU It is one of the most important aspects of our media system, and yet hardly known to the public: most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by only three global news agencies based in New York, London and Paris.

The Propaganda Multiplier – Swiss Policy Research

The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording. In addition, governments, military and intelligence services use these global news agencies as multipliers to spread their messages around the world. A study of the Syria war coverage by nine leading European newspapers clearly illustrates these issues: 78% of all articles were based in whole or in part on agency reports, yet 0% on investigative research. Moreover, 82% of all opinion pieces and interviews were in favor of a US and NATO intervention, while propaganda was attributed exclusively to the opposite side. Share this study on: Twitter / Facebook. The unanswered questions in the latest Russian “meddling” allegations. By Andre Damon 7 September 2020 Last Wednesday, the New York Times carried a front-page article claiming the “Russian group that interfered in the 2016 presidential election is at it again, using a network of fake accounts and a website set up to look like a left-wing news site.”

The unanswered questions in the latest Russian “meddling” allegations

The article set the stage for a series of follow-up news stories, comments and editorials from virtually every publication in the political establishment, all treating the unsubstantiated assertions of US intelligence agencies and social media companies as definitive proof that the Russian government is renewing its efforts to promote left-wing political views as part of an effort to sow political discord and destabilize the United States.

MSM Misinformation: Comparing the Wikipedia Page of the White Helmet Terrorists with the Actual Images From Their Own Facebook Accounts – Clarity of Signal

The purpose of this post is to highlight the hypocrisy of mainstream media outlets that have covered for the White Helmets, as well as to expose the manner in which Wikipedia is utilized to disseminate misinformation to the public. This post also serves to expose the fake ‘fact-checking’ organization Snopes as a misinformation conduit. This post will also include links to over 20 other highly revealing posts featuring over 400 images of White Helmets members (screen captured from their own Facebook accounts with links provided to the accounts), including posts that clearly show that the White Helmets recent Oscar nominated and awarded documentaries are simply shameful intentionally deceptive propaganda foisted upon the public.

By Claire Bernish | Activist Post Hollywood magic doesn’t percolate only in the minds of legendary producers and acclaimed directors to be brought to life on the big and television screens where actors’ adept performances capture our imaginations; rather, if the plot pertains to the military, it’s more than likely the Department of Defense had a hand in the script.

FOIA Docs Show CIA/Pentagon Influenced 1,800 Movies, TV Shows To Make America Love War

From Meet the Parents and America’s Got Talent, to Cupcake Wars and Zero Dark Thirty — even Iron Man, Oprah, Patriot Games, and the James Bond thriller, Tomorrow Never Dies — if the production pertains to the War Machine or Surveillance State, it’s a veritable guarantee government significantly influenced the final product. Censorship apparently reigns more supremely over Hollywood than we’d ever surmised — nearly 1,800 movies and TV shows have borne the fierce scrutiny of the eagle-eyed Pentagon and CIA. When applicable, films and television series must be rubber-stamped by the government — no seal of approval, no production.

Jimmy Dore Just Put His Foot So Far Up WaPo’s Ass It Came Out Mike Pompeo’s Mouth

This man could have pointed his brilliant comic mind at earning bigass Steve Colbert plutocratic paychecks by stumping for the establishment and trying to make ecocidal corporatocracy look cute and funny, but he didn’t. He’s one of the only comics left using humor in a healthy way by punching up and speaking truth to power instead of smoothing the pillow of a dying world so we can all greet armageddon with a half-hearted smile and a McDonald’s jingle rattling around in our heads. Dore’s latest 100 megaton truth bomb shot straight into the universe’s greatest truth vacuum like a jedi knight’s proton torpedo into the exhaust vent of an Imperial Death Star as he put his foot so far up the Washington Post’s ass it came out CIA Director Mike Pompeo’s mouth.

Does the Science of Lying Explain Trump’s Support?

Don’t take my word for it: The Pulitzer Prize-winning news organization PolitiFact rates half of Trump’s disputed public statements to be completely false, as of this writing, with most of the rest assessed as “mostly false” or “half true.” PolitiFact deems only four percent to be simply “true.” Reviving the ‘Chemical Weapons’ Lie: New US-UK Calls for Regime Change, Military Attack Against Syria.

Debate. I enjoy a good conspiracy theory as much as the next peddler of anti-establishment vitriol.

Debate

If you can hold them loosely, conspiracy theories can keep you conceptually and ideologically fluid so you don’t settle into any single set of perceptual or cognitive habits with this political stuff, and as an added bonus they tend to consistently infuriate all the worst kinds of people at all the right times. But this article is not about conspiracy theory.

What I’ll be sharing with you here are verifiable matters of public record which I encourage you to independently investigate if anything you read here is new to you. I emphasize this not because I want you to believe me, but because we need as many eyes on this stuff as possible. How US Flooded the World with Psyops – Consortiumnews. Special Report: The mainstream U.S. media obsesses over Russian “propaganda” yet the U.S. government created a “psyops” bureaucracy three decades ago to flood the world with dubious information, reports Robert Parry. By Robert Parry Newly declassified documents from the Reagan presidential library help explain how the U.S. government developed its sophisticated psychological operations capabilities that – over the past three decades – have created an alternative reality both for people in targeted countries and for American citizens, a structure that expanded U.S. influence abroad and quieted dissent at home.

Raymond, who has been compared to a character from a John LeCarré novel slipping easily into the woodwork, spent his years inside Reagan’s White House as a shadowy puppet master who tried his best to avoid public attention or – it seems – even having his picture taken. The CIA and the Media: 50 Facts the World Needs to Know. This article by Professor James Tracy first published in August 2015 is of particular relevance in relation to the “fake news” campaign directed against the alternative media. In a bitter irony, the media coverup of the CIA’s covert support to Al Qaeda and the ISIS is instrumented by the CIA which also oversees the mainstream media.

Since the end of World War Two the Central Intelligence Agency has been a major force in US and foreign news media, exerting considerable influence over what the public sees, hears and reads on a regular basis. CIA publicists and journalists alike will assert they have few, if any, relationships, yet the seldom acknowledged history of their intimate collaboration indicates a far different story–indeed, one that media historians are reluctant to examine.

When seriously practiced, the journalistic profession involves gathering information concerning individuals, locales, events, and issues. The CIA & The Media: 50 facts The World Should Know – Collective Evolution. Popular Show "Breaking the Set" Listed as One of the Justifications for Russia Punishment. Washington, D.C. – In what amounts to nothing more than a speculative assessment — which contains no actual evidence of Russian hacking — the much anticipated “Declassified Intelligence Community Assessment of Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections” report from the Intelligence Community was released yesterday. The report is sorely lacking in any hard evidence, providing nothing new to support their dubious politicized claims of “Russia hacking the election,” and instead devoting a majority of the report to speculative claims about Russian motives and criticism of the Russian television station RT.

Prominent U.S. 'Journalist' in Syria Serves as Mouthpiece for Violent Extremists. Editor's Note:Watch Stacy Bannerman deliver her testimony for The People's Tribunal on the Iraq War here, video provded by The Real News. During the final days of rebel control over the eastern areas of Aleppo, the Western media depended almost entirely on a handful of English-speaking, self-described activists to relay news of the situation to a captivated public. These figures served a dual purpose, acting as spokespeople for the beleaguered Syrian opposition while deflecting attention from armed insurgents dominated by extreme Islamists.

The world is changing so fast, and many people, at least in the developed world, are starting to see through corporately owned mainstream media. They’ve been caught red handed ‘faking’ and lying about major global events on multiple occasions, and now, some of their employees are leaving their jobs and telling the truth about something that dominates a large portion of mainstream media.

That being said, it’s clear that not every single thing we see on mainstream western television is a lie, but it seems that much of it is or at least has corporate and political bias’ behind it, especially when it comes to major global events like war and terrorism.
