Hmmmm. Al Jazeera is the only one to get it right the first time.
I don't understand the comment about "left leaning news outlets" at all. Does everything that happens in the world have to be politicized?
Yes it does' because that's where the power lies
The U.S.Of A is hungry for news
We're very focused on immediate news
It's viewed by some that the various news medias are biased one way or the other and those opinions reign strong with our citizens
Remember what turned the tide against the Viet Nam war so fast and drastically?
When Uncle Walter said we needed out of there
Nothing new about that either
Joseph Goebbels did a pretty good job of keeping the German people informed as to how he wanted them so
And if you really wish to go back some I was taught as a young man that the folks that wrote the Bible got a little colorful as to their news reporting.
I was taught that by some Catholic Priests so dont get mad at me for using that example
Fact is that the news has always had some bias and knew how to push the buttons with the public they wished to push and that carried thru to today

You ain't kidding. I watched a few minutes of a press conference and one reporter asked the most idiotic question I think anyone could have asked. " Do you think Jason Aldean could have done more to warn the crowd of the shooting"
Left me speechless.

I would have asked them, which parts of it?
I did ask them
Alot of it
But that'll open a discussion you and I and others will never agree
Fact is that the masses today, like the masses thruout time are and have been controlled by the media
Mr Fidel came to power much because he knew how to manipulate the media and did it so well that the American public was convinced he was some sort of Robin Hood and the U.S. Of A suspended arms shipments to Batista and brought uncle Fidel to power
His "army" was imagined
He didn't have one
He did eventually get one and much of that was due to a very skillful manipulation of the media
Of course it could and did
Goebbels played to a desperate nation very successfully
Hitler was a great speaker and combined with a humiliated and bankrupt nation and the media powers of Goebbels it carried the day
