RE: How to Fake Your Own Death

[builderofcastles]

There never was a journalistic integrity. There was only, ever, selling newspapers.
All the stories that i actually knew about, and then later read in the newspaper, well i... you would think the newspaper story was about something else that happened.
And that was on local stories where no one on the paper had any real dog in the fight.

Read Edward Barnays. 90% of what you see and hear is designed by a single group to manipulate your thought and emotions.

Look up Walter Kronkite saying how he worked for the CFR.
Look up Rotschildren thanking the New York Crimes for not printing anything so the FED could come into existence.

The deception has been going on that long.

And if you are looking for upvotes, you aren't going to see many here. Corbett usually doesn't come back and interact with his posts here.

Your reply brought to mind two quotes which I find quite apropos to the discussion at hand. The first, given by a journalist named John Swinton in 1884:

There is no such a thing in America as an independent press, unless it is out in country towns. You are all slaves. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to express an honest opinion. If you expressed it, you would know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid $150 for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, I would be like Othello before twenty-four hours: my occupation would be gone. The man who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the street hunting for another job. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to villify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same — his salary. You know this, and I know it; and what foolery to be toasting an "Independent Press"! We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the string and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.

And the second, given by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to John Norvell in 1807:

To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, "by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only." Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more completely deprive the nation of its benefits, than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. . . . I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.
