The Soviet NY Times Our Own Lying Pravda / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: William_Anderson
There are many myths about the current political scene, although one never would know it from reading the New York Times, and especially its editorial pages. For example, Paul Krugman continues to insist that Herbert Hoover followed the "liquidationist" advice of his treasury secretary, Andrew Mellon, and followed an "austerity" path. However, as Murray N. Rothbard noted in his classic America’s Great Depression, Hoover intervened in the economy at levels never seen before in U.S. History.

In War As In Politics And Finance, The Real Action Is Covert, Hidden From The Public / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Danny_Schechter
Defending America covertly has become an ongoing theme for one more TV series. Salute the flag and praise NBC (GE) for its latest effort to persuade the population to accept the kind of secret operations that now drive the war in Afghanistan. Their latest show is called “Covert Affairs” and airs on the patriotically named USA Network.

Glenn Beck and Co. Cashing in through Scare Tactics / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Mike_Stathis
It seems as if the new trend in modern America is to use scare tactics as a way to sell the sheep.
It worked for President Bush when he warned of Saddam’s WMDs.
It also worked for Paulson when he shoved the unconstitutional banking and auto bailouts (TARP and other taxpayer funds) down the throats of U.S. taxpayers. (1) (2) (3) (4)

Propaganda from the Mainstream Press on the SEC-Goldman Case / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Mike_Stathis
I want you to read an article by the Associated Press. As you will see, it was very deficient, hardly critical of the SEC and the banking fraud, and left out key issues.
This is just another example how the media brainwashes the public. I run across this type of deceit all day every day. The article is in italics. My comments follow.

More Propaganda from Washington's Corporate Media Partner / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Mike_Stathis
Last week, Forbes published an article discussing cities across the U.S. "where the recession is ending."
Let me begin in a tone that many of you have come to expect. In my opinion the article was misleading in an attempt to drum up consumer confidence, or else it was written by a someone with absolutely no understanding of what is going on; perhaps a combination of the two.

The economy is in trouble because banks borrowed massively, and they borrowed many multiples more than they could afford. CNBC acts as if over-borrowing by U.S. consumers created a global financial crisis. This myth protects Wall Street banks.

Freedom and Truth, Leaps and Bounds / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Viresh_Amin
Libertarian, Anarcho-Capitalist, and Austrian economist’s, along with other freedom thinkers are aware of the state and their influence over the masses. The brainwashing that occurs every day is excessively sickening and the manner in which it’s done is even worse. Through the control of the mainstream media the state has for decade’s channeled false information from school history books, newspapers, journals, and television to lead us to believe into their scams. The only pollution in the air is that which comes from corrupt minds.

Selling You with Baseball Legends and the Buffett Name / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Mike_Stathis
I come across silly articles everyday by guys with no idea what they are doing. Their goal is to sell ads and subscriptions to their newsletter, or to get you to hand them your money so they can send it to some "money manager."
The most common and effective tactic is to use Warren Buffet's name in the title of these pieces because the herd mentality thinks that what Buffett does or likes actually matters to individual investors.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
Bernanke in large part the architect of the financial crisis has now been awarded the prize of "Person of the Year" by Time Magazine. The award amounts to the icing on the cake for what has transpired over the past 12 months that has witnessed academic clueless economists in the mainstream press flailing in all directions in an attempt to be all things to all people.

Why the New York Times Is Going Broke / Companies / Mainstream Media
By: Eric_Englund
As The New York Times Company’s independent registered public accountant, you – Ernst & Young, LLP – undoubtedly are conscious of the grossly negligent financial management exercised by The New York Times Company’s top executives during this decade. As I conveyed in an essay written earlier this year: "Since 2000, The New York Times Company has generated a respectable cumulative net income of $1,598,062,000. Yet management, over the same period, has paid out $2,779,601,000 for stock buybacks and dividends.

Mainstream Media Failure Compounds The Financial Crisis Failure / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Danny_Schechter
The Press Is Still Missing The Story Of Fraud and Economic Decline Ahead
We know that Wall Street has not learned much from the crash it helped instigate. We know that our government, whatever its stated desire to clean up the markets and reform the financial behemoths, lacks the willingness and perhaps the clout to rein in the real power centers. We are not sure if they have been “captured” by them, or just lack the guts to take on institutions and individuals that helped fund their rise to power.
