JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: AMERICAN NEWS IS CENSORED BUT THAT IS NOT THE WORST OF IT - IT IS IN FACT QUITE LITERALLY MANUFACTURED - IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS AMERICANS AMONG MOST UNINFORMED PEOPLE ON EARTH


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE ON RINF


Yes, American news is certainly censored, but to varying degrees so is the news in all countries.

What makes America stand out from most lands is not censorship but the manufacture of news.

Much of what is published and broadcast in the United States is simply manufactured. It speaks of events which did not happen, it gives events which did happen a false twist, and it is written to promote bias and favoritism.

In foreign affairs, Americans are quite literally among the worst informed people on earth.


It is truly Orwellian, and I don't see how it is even possible to correct the situation, given a massive set of intelligence agencies with agendas and a mere handful of corporate press outfits whose interests are anything other than unbiased information.
