U.S. State Department to train journalists in India
2015-04-21
h/t Gates of Vienna
Heads up to the unsuspecting people of India: The liars of the U.S. State Department have taken it upon themselves to teach "ethics" to your nation's upcoming journalists.

Don't get caught up in the controversy that it "has even proposed appropriating the name of Robin Thicke's 2013 hit "Blurred Lines" as a title for the course.

It's not the name of the course, that could just as easily be called "Liars like us", but what the course is teaching that's the clear and present danger:

"The U.S. State Department is looking to design and facilitate a media ethics course for journalists in India, and has even proposed appropriating the name of Robin Thicke's 2013 hit "Blurred Lines" as a title for the course. (Weekly Standard, April 20, 2015)

#4  Indian journalists don't need any training from the State Department on propaganda. A substantial if not majority of Indians lean Left as it is.

#3  On Obama’s watch the mainstream media in America became a laughable toothless poodle press.

Laughable yes, toothless no. They are the propaganda arm of the progressives/democratic party. They can do you harm.

#2  Well, they've evidently already trained the ones here. "Sit up. Speak. Beg." Sounds like a job for the Journalist Whisperer.
