And this is why I have issues with most of RT’s programming.
They know the issues, they just have an agenda of vilifying commerce whenever they can by whatever means that they can.
“Give me a break dude”? No. You’re a self-proclaimed journalist, fucking act like one.
You can’t just expect people to decipher your message, especially when you’ve given them the wrong message. If you expect the messes to be on par with you on all the issues, then why are you even doing your job? Let people just figure it all out for themselves! No investigative journalism is needed. Wrap it up, we can all go home now. Thanks for nothing!
This is why the majority of the media is terrible at their job. Most of them are lazy and passive and willing to twist the story to garner more views/reads/clicks/shares/etc. It’s terrible behavior and it needs to stop sooner rather than later.
If the American public were shown images of war everyday, no one would ever support war. Seeing war is very different from hearing about war. The media doesn’t show us war, they tell us about it.

CIA asked major media outlets to withhold information…
Everything about this is so incorrect that I do not even know where to begin. I’m forced to wonder if Jon Stewart is a well meaning idiot, or a clever man deliberately misinforming the public.
Jon Stewart is intellectually bankrupt. I stopped watching and DVR’ing his show a while bank and now, I don’t even watch the clips people link to.
Dear Jon, let’s break down your ridiculousness one GIF at a time, yeah?
GIF 1: Yes, that’s protected (read: Not GRANTED) by the Constitution.
GIF 2: Wrong. The verbiage is: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” See that? That’s two distinct thoughts in one sentence. And if you don’t want to believe the Constitution, you can just google what the framers spent their entire lives writing about. Or you can read some quotes here: The Framers On Gun Rights
GIF 3: Actually, there are many Americans that own fighter jets, tanks (also, read this one), large-shell canons and other mil-spec weapons. In fact, it’s private manufacturers and private brokers who sell these very guns to the public sector. All of these weapons, jets, tanks, guns, grenades, they all come from private citizens.
GIF 4: Ha! The old musket argument. When the Constitution was written, freedom of press meant literally pressing ink onto paper. With this bankrupt logic, we can conclude that no one has the right to blog, tweet, make youtube videos, talk on the radio or own a dishonest comedic styled political show that covers up it’s misleading bias with jokes and laughter.
GIF 5: Because gun ownership is a fundamental issue. It is part of the foundation of this democracy. It is the one right that defends all the other rights. That’s why this is a big deal. And that’s why this is a big deal to the fascists in government.
Gun ownership is the keystone in the archway to liberty.
GIF 6: I didn’t see this clip or the clip within the clip, so I’ll just answer the man’s question. Yes, I am worried that the federal government is going to come after our guns because that’s exactly what they’ve said they’d do and, in Illinos, tried to do.
GIF 7: Alex Jones is all sorts of crazy, but those are all facts. Everyone of those governments disarmed citizens or specific citizens before unleashing their own government agents to kill their own citizens. FACT.
GIF 8: More dishonesty? Why not. You’ve already made the soup, add a salad to it. 30,000 gun deaths? Stewart doesn’t say ‘a year’, but that’s what he is implying by omission. Which is, in fact, a lie. The FBI figures say there are about ~10,000 gun deaths a year in this country, of which ~7,000 are gang on gang or gang related.
As for the ‘imaginary Hitler’ comment. It’s not so imaginary. Our government is the new Hitler and the Muslims are the new Jews. Don’t believe me, just listen to an anti-semitic Hitler speech and replace every reference to Jews with Muslims or Terrorists.
We are literally on the same hell-bent mission as Hitler. We are trying to ride the world of a group of individuals who we think are a threat to our way of life and our prosperity.
I wish more people would just turn Jon Stewart and his misinformation propaganda machine off. He swears he’s not a news anchor and that he’s a comedian. I say he’s not a comedian, either. He’s a bald-face liar.

This BBC documentary reveals and analyzes the fact that al-Qaeda does not exist.
There is no such thing as “al Qaeda”, there is no one on earth who calls himself a member of “al Qaeda”. “al Qaeda” is a term made up by the U.S. government to be applied to anyone killed during in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. There is no formal organization. There is no secret terrorist network.I remember reading a few years ago that al-Qaeda was in fact an invisible bogeyman fabricated by the U.S., but could never find much about it, so I disregarded it as conspiracy hearsay. A recent documentary special aired in the UK via the BBC goes into depth about it, however. This ten-minute video focuses on the parts regarding the truth behind al-Qaeda. It’s very important, so please watch it and please reblog it.
This documentary, which has aired globally and has even been screened at the Cannes Film Festival, has yet to air in the United States, of course. Writer/producer Adam Curtis had this to say in 2008:
“Something extraordinary has happened to American TV since September 11. A head of the leading networks who had better remain nameless said to me that there was no way they could show it. He said, ‘Who are you to say this?’ and then he added, ‘We would get slaughtered if we put this out.’ When I was in New York I took a DVD to the head of documentaries at HBO. I still haven’t heard from him.”For more information about the documentary, read here. For more information on Jamal al-Fadl, the man who was paid to invent al-Qaeda, read here.
This is a clip from BBC’s The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of The Politics of Fear
I think this 3-part series is the most important documentary of our time. It’s a must watch.
The series dissects how the liberal movement failed America and then gave way to the Chicago Neo-Cons to create a fear-based political regime in America while at the same time, a handful of extremists changed the face of Islam through the same fear-based extremism in the Middle East.
Here’s a link to all three parts:
PART I - Baby It’s Cold Outside
PART III - The Shadows In The Cave
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, if you want to comment on American and/or foreign politics and you haven’t watched this series, you’re missing out.

The Onion might be the only legitimate news network left in this country.
Serious.
