Eric Zuesse — How Trustworthy Are U.S. & Western ‘News’ Media?
Rhetorical question, of course. Zuesse furnishes us with the evidence.
It's why we provide counter-narratives here from the world press and alternative media here at MNE.
I meant rhetorical for the regular readers here at MNE. We have been showing how Western news is manufactured for consent, so everyone following this blog would know the answer to the question, How Trustworthy Are U.S. & Western ‘News’ Media?" is, not so much.
There are a lot more people who have never heard of MNE who don't trust the media. Sadly, they tend to follow Alex Jones instead of reading obscure blogs.
It's not 'rhetorical'.

ReplyDeleteBob,
ReplyDeleteThose are the right-libertarians over at Alex Jones... lots of metal-love over there... "gold & guns", etc...
Authority is gone from the scene over there.... other than to denigrate it...
rsp,
Right, Bob. We try to navigate between the propaganda and conspiracy theory. Unfortunately most of what's out there is either one or the other.
