How The Media Lies And Distorts The Truth

[RLENT]

Wait … I thought Dr. Ron Paul stormed off before the interview was over?

Hmmmm. This (uncut) version of the video doesn’t match up with CNN’s claim - that he angrily cut the interview short and left.

Fox News' characterization of this event was similar .... if even more distorted IIRC.

Some others:

Yahoo: "Ron Paul Storms Off CNN Set After Questioning Over Racist ..."

Daily Beast: "Ron Paul Storms Out of CNN Interview - The Daily Beast"

Even the serial adulterer and hypocrite feels the need to jump in on the feeding frenzy (perhaps somewhat unwise, considering how much baggage that boy is dragging around )

The State Column: "Newt Gingrich slams Ron Paul: Explain your racist newsletters‎"

At the link below you can find the entire uncut and unedited interview of Dr. Paul - which shows a decidedly different reality than what the media attempts to portray.

The relevant question should be: If this is how, as a matter of course, the MSM operates, what else are they doing in an attempt to influence what you think .... and how you think about it:

CNN: Dr. Ron Paul Uncut, Unedited

Of course, this now going viral - and is being picked up by other media - because it shows a deliberate effort to misrepresent and distort the truth.

When one engages in such nefarious tactics, rather than honestly sticking to an accurate portrayal of the truth, it brings immediate discredit on those who engage in it.

It raises questions of journalistic integrity, reliability, and an agenda (other than accurately informing the public)

It is why when one elects to engage in anything but telling the truth it is doomed to fail.

Look at it quick, because it may not be around long .....

I don't ever remember the "truth" being told by our media. EVERY big story that I worked on when in the "business" was either spun, half truths told or flat out lied about. What's new? No one ever seemed to bother getting upset all that much before? Why would anyone expect "honest reporting" about Dr. Paul but not care about the constant stream of lies about every thing else?

Oh ..... I think it does happen .... in fact, they do it regularly ... but it's not all that they do.

Is that your observation .... really ?

I think many people are upset about it - in fact, if you Google "american opinion of the news media", you will get over 460,000,000 hits.

Why would anyone expect "honest reporting" about Dr. Paul but not care about the constant stream of lies about every thing else?

Well, that's a very nice strawman ..... which is a logical fallacy .... because it assumes something that is not there (not caring about the constant stream of lies about every thing else) .... if one expects to be taken at all seriously, foregoing the use of logical fallacies might be a good step in that direction.

In my own case, I think if one were to check the historical record, one would find that lack of "honest reporting" is something I have commented on repeatedly, over a long period of time.

In fact, the most recent case being, in another thread on here about a lack of honest reporting on all the candidates .....

I was not only talking about politics or candidates. I am talking about every story that they cover. The media has be lying about just about anything and everything, except how wonderful they are, for decades.

I am just not outraged or surprised by this stuff any more. It is the norm. I am shocked and surprised when they tell the truth. The media has be the "mouth piece" for the "Pupper Master" since Stalin answered to him.

In the interest of fair and balanced journalistic integrity and reliability, please define "going viral".

It needs to go viral, but I'm not sure that it actually has at this point.

 

[layoutshooter]

Of course it needs to go viral. The media lies need to be exposed every time they lie. On every story that they lie about. How can we be expected to be a well informed electorate when we are fed BULLONIE every time a talking head says something?

And neither was I

The media has be lying about just about anything and everything, except how wonderful they are, for decades.

You're making my point.

I am just not outraged or surprised by this stuff any more. It is the norm.

I'm not surprised .... but I think everyone should be outraged, if for no other reason than they claim to do otherwise.

I am shocked and surprised when they tell the truth. The media has be the "mouth piece" for the "Pupper Master" since Stalin answered to him.

Absolutely 100% true - and it's an observation that everyone need to make

It's just killing us as a nation

It has been doing that for my entire lifetime. As I said, every story that I was ever involved with was lied about. From the war in Vietnam, the "Cold War, to gun control to Katrina and beyond. This lie is just one in a very long line of nails in the coffin. American's must finally learn that when one story is lied about, they must assume that the rest are being lied about as well.

Funny, since he went a long way in doing just that.
