It is NO secret my feelings about the MSM…….
My readers are well aware that I think the MSM as a despicable piece of crap….it is NO longer a source of information and knowledge but rather the propaganda arm of the government and Corporate America.
The media does everything it can to drive the news cycle……even to the point of lies and manipulation.
As an example I give you the Biden for president saga.
For months after successfully making Clinton the odds on favorite for the Democratic nomination….they could not bring themselves to actually treat Bernie Sanders as a real candidate….so they started the “rumor” that Biden could possibly jump into the 2016 race.
After months of “will he or won’t he” reporting which included numerous reports from “reliable” sources that he was considering a run……it appears that Biden is looking more like a candidate than not…..the MSM got their story.
They tried and succeeded and now they have something to feed their narrative…..time to bushwhack the possible candidate……
The media is now reporting the negative conflicting news about Biden and the raid that killed Osama……
Biden said he had privately advised the President to pursue the raid on bin Laden’s compound after initially advising a more cautious approach at a Cabinet meeting.
“We walked out of the room and walked upstairs,” Biden said. “I told him my opinion: I thought he should go, but to follow his own instincts.”
The new account is a significant departure from what he said at a Democratic retreat in January 2012.
“Mr. President, my suggestion is, ‘Don’t go,'” Biden said, according to an ABC News report from that time.
……..a change from an account Biden gave on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in May 2012, in which he described advising the President to follow his instincts but didn’t explicitly advise him to “go” for it.
“We walked up toward the residence, toward his office,” said Biden of his conversation with Obama, “and I knew he was going to go (for the raid). And what I always tell him when he — he looked at me again, and I said, ‘Follow your instincts, Mr. President. Your instincts have been close to unerring; follow your instincts.'”
Biden also offered a reason for the difference between what he said in the Cabinet meeting and his new account of the private conversation with Obama in which he advocated following his instincts.
The vice president now says that he suggested the administration undertake additional drone surveillance on the compound while in that Cabinet meeting, but that he made that recommendation because he didn’t want to undermine the President if he ended up choosing a more cautious approach.
The Media now has yet another ambush that they can be proud of (sarcasm)….
My question is…how long have they been sitting on this info? Or how would this be reported if the mission had failed? How would Biden be painted?
The media is driving this story…..this is a pathetic manipulation of the news to make them look relevant…..
It is stuff like this that is why I do not use the MSM for my news source…..I cannot trust it to be objective or for that matter…..TRUTHFUL!
