The Diseased, Lying, Condition of America's ‘News'Media
2018-06-21
[Strategic Culture Foundation] Both President Trump and former President Obama are commonly said in America’s ’news’ media to be or to have been "ceding Syria to Russia" or "ceding Syria to Russia and Iran," or similar allegations. They imply that ’we’ own (or have some right to control) Syria. That’s not only a lie; it is a very evil and harmful one, dangerously goading the US President to go even more against Russia (and Iran) (and, of course, against Syria) than has yet been done ‐ but the ’news’media don’t care about that evil, and that falsehood, and that dangerousness ‐ they do it anyway, and none of them attacks the others for perpetrating this vicious war-mongering lie, that lying provocation to yet more and worse war than already exists there. And the fact that none is exposing the fraudulence of the others on this important matter, is a yet-bigger additional scandal, beyond and amplifying the media’s common lying itself. Because they all function here like a mob, goading to more and worse invasions, and doing it on the the basis of dangerous lies ‐ that America, and not the Syrians themselves, own Syria.

These lies simply assume that America (probably referring to the US Government, but whatever) somehow "has" or else "had" Syria (so that America can now ’cede’ it, to anyone); and this assumption (that the US somehow owns Syria) is not only an imperialistic one (which is bad, and wrong, in itself), but it reduces to nothingness the rights (in the minds of the American public) of the Syrian people, to control their own land. That lie is what America’s ’news’media won’t expose, but instead they all cooperate with it, when they’re not actually participating, themselves, in spreading these lies.

#4  Nothing that some rope and a few judiciously chose bodies of certain editors and reporters hanging from lampposts wouldn't cure.

Sometimes you need to cut out the metastases to save the patient.

#3  Wait a minute, I thought President Trump acted "presidential" once when dealing with Syria. That's what CNN said, right?

#2  This is a world of lies. The only truth I am sure of is that I am now sitting in my recliner, drinking coffee and typing on my laptop.

#1  Some things can't be fixed. Looking at how to handle that confuses many people.
