Trump's relationship with the media.

6079_Smith_W — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 13:27:02 +0000

I heard a piece on CBC last night about Trump using the press as a prop during his speeches - pointing at them and telling the crowd they were against him and lying to them.

CNN decided over the weekend to no longer run white house press conferences live because they want corroboration before running stuff that might be lies (I posted that piece in the Trump Administration thread)

Now two journalists - one from Vocativ and one from RT America - have been arrested and charged with felony riot charges for covering the inauguration. One of them had his camera taken by police.

Finally, Senator McCarthy, have you no shame?

Quote:

"Both of these clowns have used the death of a diplomat, who was serving his country, as an excuse to promote their own prejudices against Russia. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they are debasing journalism. I’d conclude by saying they should be ashamed of themselves, but that won't work because they clearly have no shame."

American journalists who 'danced' on Russian Ambassador’s grave have no shame

History repeats itself.

Media critcism from ricochet

What are you watching and why?

ikosmos — Wed, 21 Dec 2016 20:14:11 +0000

TV, I am thinking of, but all media is probably suitable for inclusion.

I"m thinking ..

Incorporated (new series, M Damon and B Affleck involved in producing) Anything with Canadian actor Ian Tracey gets my attention. But the subject matter - a dystopian, corporate-ruled future - is, of course, of interest.

Westworld (see The Android Manifesto, etc. )

and whatever you care to add.

This is probably a duplicate of a similar, previous thread. I just can't find it.

Canadians are the most brainwashed people on Planet Earth

Richard Sanders piece has got me thinking. Are Canadians truly the most brainwashed people on Planet Earth?

Discuss.

Nov 5 interview by John Pilger of Julian Assange

ikosmos — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 17:02:12 +0000

RT will be airing John Pilger's interview of Julian Assange on Saturday, Nov 5.

In the interview, Assange shows, with the evidence unearthed by Wikileaks, that the Democrat candidate Hilary Clinton knowingly accepted millions in donations to the Clinton foundation (used to fund her campaign) from the very same Qatari and Saudi regimes that have been funding the terrorists in Syria. Assange shows that Clinton knew, and approved, these barbarous regimes funding the terrorists.

Clinton should be in jail.

On Tuesday, there is a very real chance that a criminal will be "elected" as POTUS.

Banning Russian media: Has it begun in the West?

Some discussion in the Russophobia thread but this topic deserves its own thread.

AS babbler swallow pointed out so helpfully, the word "ban" does not appear in the article. However...
