In this golden age of propaganda (what propaganda?!), be thankful for the likes of Medialens, Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (and Glenn Greenwald and The Intercept and Jonathan Cook, journalist, among precious few others) for clearing just some of the mountains of bullshit.... What these latest events reveal is the truly stunning ability of modern high-tech communications to very quickly influence the public mind. The lesson seems blindingly clear – the corporate media watchdog works seamlessly with the state power it is supposed to hold to account to wage one war after another. Exposure of previous lie-based campaigns has little impact – the state-corporate propaganda machine is simply activated to demonise yet another target, to generate more benevolent rationalisations for yet more killing.
