In the 7 pm news tonight, Erin Burnett, an intelligent woman totally lacking in ethics, celebrated America's greatest war criminal (still working — Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger are in the background pulling strings). She managed to get through an entire interview in sock puppet mode, without a single honest observation with respect to Elliot Abram's lurid past as a serial war criminal.
In combination with Fox News playing up “concerns” about Donald Trump's mental health, with comedian turned Senator Al Franken as the punch line, tonight saw the mainstream fake news media roll out what is obviously a joint Democratic-Republican leadership attack on Donald Trump.
Crap News Network (CNN) — what should we call Fox — The Freaked Out X-Holes?
The mainstream U.S. media blames Russian President Putin for pretty much everything – from the Mideast mess to Europe’s disorder to the U.S. elections – but the reality is quite different, notes Daniel Lazare.
Russia is the dominant power in the Middle East at the moment – apart from Israel, that is – while the U.S. is in disarray as a dangerous rightwing buffoon ensconces himself in the White House. The Democrats should take a long hard look in the mirror if they want to know who the real loser is. But they won’t. They prefer to blame Putin and Russia.
I've known Massimo Calabresi, the TIME Magazine Bureau Chief in Washington DC, for 20 years.
I have concluded that he is responsive to CIA direction, and that TIME Magazine is a completely “owned” front for CIA and the Deep State.There was a time when he actually tried to do serious journalism.
I first began to suspect Calabresi's Deep State connections when he consistently refused (as did NYT and others) to do an article on how the system is rigged.
Reading the article below does it for me. There is no journalistic integrity and no public service rendered by this article.
By failing to tell the hard truth about Establishment wrongdoing, The New York Times — along with other mainstream U.S. media outlets — has destabilized American democracy, reports Robert Parry.
Rather than acting as a watchdog against these deceptions, the Times and its mainstream fellow-travelers have transformed themselves into little more than the Establishment’s apologists and propagandists.
In a raucous election year defined by made-up stories, Mr. Harris was a home-grown, self-taught practitioner, a boutique operator with no ties to Russian spy agencies or Macedonian fabrication factories. As Mr. Trump takes office this week, the beneficiary of at least a modest electoral boost from a flood of fakery, Mr. Harris and his ersatz-news website, ChristianTimesNewspaper.com, make for an illuminating tale.
