The Listening Post - Media conflict of interest debate

This week on the Listening Post, we put the spotlight on a debate concerning the New York Times and its apparent conflict of interest in Israel. Also, we report on the tug of war for control of Kenya's media.

Another Reason Why I Hate Faux News...

The Fox News coverage of a conference in Chicago on July 19, 2009, titled the "Fall of Capitalism & Rise of Islam" heavily hyped the story, falsely claiming that Al Qaeda terrorists were openly recruiting there as shown in this video.

The first two Fox News clips come from "Fox and Friends Sunday" broadcast on July 19, 2009.

The clip of reporter Steve Brown comes from the Fox News program "America's News HQ" also broadcast on July 19, 2009.

The two clips of neo-con superhawk Frank Gaffney are from the Fox News program "America's Newsroom" broadcast on July 20, 2009.

Charles W. Freeman Jr., The Man Who Was Suppose To Be In Obama's Administration..... BUT

Reported:

The controversial appointee to chair President Barack Obama’s National Intelligence Council walked away from the job Tuesday as criticism on Capitol Hill escalated.

Charles W. Freeman Jr., the former ambassador to Saudi Arabia, had been praised by allies and by the director of national intelligence, Dennis Blair, as a brilliant, iconoclastic analyst. Critics said he was too hard on Israel and too soft on China, and blasted him for taking funding from Saudi royals.

Freeman “requested that his selection to be Chairman of the National Intelligence Council not proceed,” Blair’s office said in a statement. “Director Blair accepted Ambassador Freeman’s decision with regret.”

Emergency Broadcast: The New World Order Is Coming!

To those of you that still don't believe
To those who still point fingers at 9-11 truthers and call them "conspiracy nuts"
To those that still say "This could never happen"

What more proof do you need?

As for the 9-11 end of it, how about we form a commission made up of questions from these 9-11 truthers? Or maybe, have the commission made up of them? In a professional environment, in Washington to set everything straight if everything is just a "conspiracy"?

When you are truthful, you would never avoid someone asking you questions, now would you?

Truth does not fear investigation.

Ron Paul smacks around David Shuster on MSNBC.

In the most professional, respectful & intellectual way possible.

Watch this, and see why this man, is the " Last Real Republican "

David constantly tries to make Paul speak about the Rush issue ( by his remarks of all Republicans wanting Obama to fail ) and Paul basically says " This is irrelevant. "

This is a perfect example on why the " Mainstream Media " New channels are NOT REAL sources of solid information but more of an entertainment escape from reality.

The Elite Vs. The Docile

During the last presidential campaign, the word " Elite " was thrown around in reference to Barack Obama. Most figured that " Elite " just means prestigious or above the average but not really understanding what it's true meaning really is.

From the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, to the Council On Foreign Relations, these, so called "Think Tanks" are some of the sectors that represent this Globalist "Elitism".

Now, if you notice, they are all forms of study groups. So in essence, what makes someone an "Elite" person? Knowledge.

Globalization in the market place is one thing, making the world as one nation under one government and one bank is an entirely different one.

Point being, they know more than the average person, on affairs of the land(s) they run, that is why they are able to do things without the general public even understanding why things occur the way they do.

Turn off the T.V. Stop Texting, Go outside, call up someone you've spoken to 100 times a day but haven't seen in 6 months, and live again.

Distorted Morality * Weekend Film *

This is more of a speech than a film but considering it's the weekend and the length of this speech, I went for the title.

Earlier today, I got into an exchange, which turned into a debate, then quickly turned into a heated argument, without realizing where it just went.

A friend of mine wasn't at his job on this day so his brother in law filled in for him. He overheard me speaking on the economy while another guy said " they are protesting all over the world over the economy! " and i replied " well at this problem, we are at the root "

The brother in law later said " They are always protesting something " and I came back with " right, but this economic problem they are protesting, we are at fault for over spending, living beyond our means and so forth " he came back with historical references like " well they weren't complaining when we rebuilt Europe or sold them Gold and so forth "

I told him if that's your argument then no one can have a problem with anything. He came back with " why do you think this occurred because of us? " I proceeded to explain from the " guaranteed loans giving by the U.S. ( or backed by the U.S. ) that the loans will profit down the line and so forth.

Some how, it went from my dissent of the U.S. on the economic matters to foreign policy to where he came out with calling me an " apologist for terrorism, Saddam, etc. " then concluding with " If you don't like this country, then you can get the hell out! "

Mind you, I was arguing the " Policies of the United States, Not the country itself "

I couldn't believe what I just saw. As he went out to cool off, his wife and son told me " Excuse him, I'm sorry, he's like that, he's a very hardcore pro-American, Pro-Military guy who doesn't like opposition "

I couldn't help but think, this was very very Fascist and in the line of what Stalin & Hitler preached.

Of course I didn't say that because then it would have just blown over but this country, alike many, were built up to be by opposition of ideas and debate. Not obedience and passiveness.

To each their own but I made it clear to them that " I never ever will speak in debate, for this very example, without having fact to back up my arguments. I'm not winning money or trophies for getting one over you so you should not be so hard headed to think I'm arguing for the sake of argument. Or, as he put it " Anti-American "

It's people like this guy who brought the country to be divided as it became during the Bush years.

I'm sure you guys would agree that If you were so sure of yourself, you'd be able to rebuttal without breaking a sweat, not lash out in a rant, make faces of disbelief and turn your head to ignore what is being said instead.

I guess this is why messages like these, relay better with young people than older. I should have known better to know that, the older you get, the harder it would be to learn new things.

To one day be told " What you thought was real, real wasn't the way you thought it was "

I picked this Noam Chomskey speech because he touches on this a bit with the " War On Terrorism " and how people get influenced by propaganda on T.V. without being told the entire truth of a certain subject.

All in all, have a great weekend, enjoy the speech, and, as always, hopefully you learn a thing or two.

Illuminati Alert?!?

*Weekend Film* Manufacturing Consent

The classic Canadian documentary Manufacturing Consent based on the Noam Chomsky/Edward Herman book by the same name. Explores the propaganda model of the media.

Sex, Drugs, & The Inauguration Of Barack Obama.

First off let me begin by saying, congrats to this man becoming president. On that end I can say it in an unbiased way. What a progressive nation we've become right? I mean, A Black man elected President of the United States when only 30+ years ago, he wouldn't have been looked at twice!

If you sensed the irony in that statement, then you're sharper than the average. People voted and preach this line throughout the media and as the reason for voting for him without even knowing who the man is nor' know anything of his principals and stances on issues.

This infuriates me to no end to know that Obama supporters will claim they voted for change, get mad when you question if it was based on race, then when asked why, they can't give a solid reasoning behind their vote.

Of course, this is a generalization and by no means do I mean every single supporter as there may be one or two of you out there that have good reasons. I have yet to meet any of you.

Here is just one example of what I mean.

The infamous Howard Stern had one of his guys go out into the streets of Harlem during the primaries and switched the policies of McCain's with Obama's to see who would people vote for then:

Of course, this is just one example but it will give you a good idea.


* Note * Explicit Language *


There was a story that had come out and floated around the Internet ( but suppressed by the Main Stream Media ) where a man named Larry Sinclair came out and said he had done drugs and had sexual relations with the President.

Aside from these videos, there is also the background factor. Many don't know, to this day, or don't care, If Obama is born here or not. Cases are still pending on the legitimacy of his presidency but of course, you won't find this in the media.

Here is a nutshell explanation into WHY his background is still in question with cases pending against him on it.




Is it now a little more clear for you?

A little upset?... Not yet?

Here is the Noam Chomsky On Obama's appointees, on who and what their view point will be on foreign policy, along with Barack Obama.




You might say " HEY, Israel is our ally! We gotta look out for our friends! "

If you are still saying that after the recent conflict in Gaza, then here is one for you ( ties into Obama )



I've said it before and I'll say it again:

A Fascist left & a Communist has entered.

Is this really change? Hardly...

I'm sure people didn't even pay attention and look beyond his articulate presentation of flat out saying " We need a civilian national force " in one of his speeches awhile back. You know who had this? Nazi Germany & the Soviet Union.



And the people applaud like a bunch of zombies, i mean come on seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people?!

And here is Rahm Emanuel ( Obama's Chief Of Staff ) on implementing a draft.



Through all this, some of you might say " Hey, The man isn't even doing anything or done anything yet, give him a chance! "

Yea well, sorry to tell you but, if a man says " I'm going to kill that guy " while holding a gun, chances are, he's killing somebody.

People better wake up and wake up fast. Snap out of this worship nonsense before what they know as the United States of America, is taken from underneath them without even knowing...

The sociology of Barack Obama ( A clip from the Alex Jones Show )







This is the United States Of America, A REPUBLIC, not a democracy nor any other form of government.

The constitution is to be defended by all enemies, foreign & DOMESTIC, remember that.

The Media & Barack Obama's Pick of Rick Warren.

I really wanted to stay away from the whole Rick Warren infactutation along with the Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich story because I really find them irrelevant to the " country " as a whole as opposed to the economy, bailouts, wars, etc.

Don't ask me why but I had my t.v. set to the Rachel Maddow show watching her pick apart at Obama's choice to pick pastor Rick Warren to lead the nation in prayer at his inauguration.

I decided to pick at this particular story because it really is pissing me off.

Pissing me off to the extent where I decided to waste time to vent on this issue and why I'm actually against people like Rachel giving stupid looks and acting surprised at Warren's statements on Gays, and other issues.

Watch this clip from earlier today where Rachel Maddow acts so surprised at Pastor Warren's words of opposing gays and other groups and even more shocked that Obama picked him. I'll give my points after...

I personally use to like her when she had guest spots on MSNBC instead of her own show.

First she takes a shot at Rick Warren for being against the " Gay " community and not allowing them into his church.

And? Where is the surprise here? In all monotheistic religions, Gays ( or sodomites ) are condemned. Look up the definition of the traditional term for " Gays " and see Sodomy and see what is known as Sodomy.

It is his website, his church, his followers. If they want to dress up with black clothes with neon green straps around their outfit,
isn't that their business? Granted, The next president of the United States is having him at his inauguration to lead in prayer but so what? How is it ok to want to be looked at as equals but not want to give the next person the same respect?

You are suppose to be the bigger person, as some parents would tell their kids, so why don't you be that bigger person?

Warren isn't a policy maker, he has no position or say in Obama's administration, so why act like he does?

She also mentions how Rick Warren said that " Gay Marriage is equivalent to child molestation & Incest "

It's equivelent as they are condemend by the Church and religion, not that they are the same " Acts "

This is the problem with ( and I really hate to use this word ) " Liberal/Far Left " commentators. It's ok when it favors your viewpoint but when it's not something you would do or stand for, you say what the opposing side says or thinks and don't explain why. This is why people who watch the news get one side of a story and not understand fully why the story is being told in the first place.

I guess I expect too much from the Media of today, to actually have two sides of a story for the viewer to come up with their own conclusion instead of the commentator.


Next one isn't in the clip but was broadcasted:

She basically went onto saying how associating with Warren is like the scenario that took place during the primaries with Rev. Wright.

Are you serious right now? I mean come on. Wright is a former military man, wright, in his own church, yelled dissent at the Policy of the United States where as Warren states his own views on his own website on his own time.

Did you people forget, this is a free country? Of course this applies to the media as well so Rachel can say ( along with any other media outlet ) whatever they please but, don't make it look like these are one sided people with one sided comments.

I'm from N.Y.C. and I am familiar with the Gay community, I know how some look at religion and religious figures so for people like Rachel Maddow, who is gay herself, to act so shocked or be a wise ass giving stupid looks when comments from someone like Warren come out, is juvenile.

Barack Obama said he's going to reach over and grab all corners of people and join in unity, obviously there are going to be those who oppose others but, what did you think was going to happen?

I don't mean to just pick on Rachel because other media outlets have made an issue about Obama's pick of Warren but Rachel is who I watched talking about the issue and she's been getting on my nerves since she got her own show.

I don't favor any religious figure being with the Head Of State at any ingratiation because It tends to lean a people one way over another but if it's done, so be it. If it doesn't change you or invade your personal space, then shut your mouth and live your life.

Behind The Big News: Propaganda and the CFR * Film *

This documentary probably gives one of the best explanations into why the Mainstream Media works in the way it does, distorts the truth and twists words to fit their personal agenda.

When you see foreign news agencies ( or independent ones like the Associated Press ) reporting differently than what you see on the television or read in the local publications, keep this documentary in mind for that next time.



See You Next Week!

MSNBC Becoming To The Barack Administration What Fox Was To The Bush Administration?

I bring this up today after noticing the way MSNBC has been reporting more in the ways that they use to criticize their rivals for: Favoring the Bush Administration, except, going for Barack.

First it began when I first saw the video of Chris Mathews saying that he will do everything he can to make his presidency work. This threw me off completely. It was one thing when Fox News would favor the Neo-Cons indirectly but Chris came flat out and announced his favoritism for Barack.

( Begins At 2:26 )



This pisses me off beyond belief. Why?

IT IS NOT HIS NOR ANY JOURNALISTS JOB TO MAKE ANYONE " LOOK GOOD " but to report the NEWS!
What happened to the real journalism? What happened to getting to the core root of issues and not be to the left or right.

Joe Scarborough points it out somewhat and I'm glad he did.

And most recently, Rachel Maddow was reporting on " How we should intervene in Pakistan ".





If you find this hard to swallow, you're not alone.

I mean, The Democrats were elected in 06' to end the war in Iraq.
Obama ends up winning the presidency because he is a Democrat.

And now the people who were anti-war and getting elected to end the wars are now pushing for further wars?

What is going on here? Have people really become so stupid that they are electing and becoming complacent, with the very policies they were so against during Bush's 2 Terms?

I mean, when are people going to wake up and stop holding hands " hoping " for " change " and do something about it?

The beautiful discourse by the Mainstream Media.

I have the T.V. tuned into MSNBC as I see the projection for Hillary Clinton winning yet again. She is projected to win West Virginia. I never do understand these projections, why they even exist. I could understand if individuals conducted projections but for MSM to basically announce a winner and throw in the word of " a projection " is very stupid.

When a station ( maybe this is their intention ) announces a projection, I can't help but take into account that maybe this would discourage voters who haven't voted just yet. Maybe people who haven't voted just yet are getting the numbers on their cellphones or some other devices then changing their votes. 

There have been times ( especially during this race ) where entrance polls don't add up to exit polls and vice versa. Maybe I am over analyzing but it seems very coincidental. Personally, I don't care for polls, especially those polls that take place by calling a voters home who must have a land line, and have voted before which consists of up to 2,000 people.

I also see the roundtables a lot of times mentioning that  people in record numbers have registered to vote and turning out to vote and so forth, but so what?

People aren't voting simply because there is a Woman or a Black man running, they are voting because people are so desperate for a real change. Unfortunately, the headliners ( Obama, Clinton, McCain ) are not going to change anything. I have spoken about this previously into detail in a previous post in April so you can look it up there.

Now, in case you are wondering why I said headliners and not the candidates in simply because, the mainstream media fails to mention Ron Paul still being in the race. I'm real glad that as a Ron Paul supporter myself that winning the presidency does not matter as much as spreading the " message of freedom . " 

I'm not going to ramble on about anyone specific because as much as I do favor my candidate, I do try to remain open to other peoples views and respect their decisions, just when casting that vote, know why you are. Don't do it because you think your guy/girl might win, do it because their record, speeches, etc. make perfect sense to what your needs are.

I saw this video earlier today that I found very interesting, why Ron Paul's run really is a revolution and not like any other presidential run since the days of Washington, Jefferson, Etc. 

This was on Fox News and they were talking about how there might just be a revolt at the GOP Convention in favor of Ron Paul.

Obama Vs. Hillary, Hillary Vs. Obama, I'm getting sick of this!

I really didn't want to touch on this considering it is all over the MSM media but I had to vent and state my view on this big circus event.

So in the recent news, Hillary wins Indiana & Obama wins North Carolina, that's great.

The issue now is, why doesn't Hillary drop out? Why does she continue to campaign when her own strongest political supporters are advising her to drop out? If this doesn't show how there is such a cult type of organization amongst these people, I don't know what will.

Personally, no one should ever drop out until' the convention, that is the purpose for having a convention but this is ridiculous. The democrats are looking to just to put a " Democrat" into the White House and not because they will best serve the people, more about a popularity contest. 

The Republicans aren't alone  in this either because there have been deals cut previously ( such as the one with Mitt Romney  and McCain where he'd drop out to run again in 2012. )

And who is blind to all this? The voter!

Don't let all this craziness confuse you of what is right and wrong, who is better fit to fix the problems of today and tomorrow because of what the MSM is reporting, do your research and vote wisely. I can't say it enough. This is the most important election to come around in the history of elections. We are on the verge of WW3, our economy is in shambles and not getting any better, people aren't getting paid what they deserve, the cost of living continues to rise no matter what tax you cut.

Barack preaches " change " and " yes we can " so " Yes We Can, Change " but what is changing? 

Hillary preaches " experience " but how is that experience going to make a real difference for the American people?

Is monetary policy changing? They don't even talk about it. 

Are the departments in which the Bush Administration propped up ( FEMA, TSA, Department Of Homeland Security, etc. ) being removed? Never even spoken about.

The promotion of Pre-Emptive wars? Barack might slow down on this one but Hillary has already threatened Iran.

Overall, I've said it before and I'm saying it again: The only thing that will change is the face for the history books, nothing more, nothing less.

If you are wondering why I haven't maybe mentioned McCain, Do I really have to? I think he does a good job himself by just talking in each state. I'm just glad that Ron Paul is going all the way to the convention, it gives me some form of real hope.
