Air Crash–Just What The Media Needed

Over the night we have had another air crash and the victims are the 66 most important people of the day….

A flight from Paris to Cairo carrying 56 passengers and 10 crew disappeared from radar early Thursday morning, the airline says. EgyptAir Flight 804 was lost from radar at 2:45am local time when it was flying at 37,000 feet, the airline says. It says the Airbus A320 had vanished 10 miles after it entered Egyptian airspace. Egyptian armed forces are searching for the plane, which was carrying 56 passengers, including one child and two babies, and 10 crew. EgyptAir later confirmed the nationalities of those on board as including 15 French passengers, 30 Egyptians, one Briton, two Iraqis, one Kuwaiti, one Saudi, one Sudanese, one Chadian, one Portuguese, one Algerian, and one Canadian, the AP reports.

A tragedy indeed but why am I so sarcastic about the reporting?

This is a story that the media desperately needed…..for a couple of days they have harped on the mini-riot at the Nevada delegate selection meeting…..where the Bernie supporters were angered and began protesting….and the story was reported by a reputable journalist that even chairs were thrown…..death threats to other DNC officials……well yesterday the story was developing that it was all a false report and all the news channels had run with the lie…….embarrassing, right?

Jon Ralston, the dean of political reporting in Nevada, has spread nothing less than a pack of lies about what went down at the state’s Democratic convention on Saturday. And the fact averse oligarchic national media has run completely riot with the provable falsehoods. No chairs were thrown at the convention Saturday. No death threats were made against the chair of the convention Roberta Lange. And Bernie Sanders delegates were not simply mad because their louder shouting was ignored.

Now the MSM has a disaster that they can fixate on and speculate their butts off and never have to admit that they reported a lie…..the American people will be so enthralled with the hunt for this plane and the only thing they will remember about this mini-riot is the lies spread by the media.

Since there were NO Americans on the flight and it has nothing to do with the US there is NO need for days of endless speculation….the only reason is to divert the news from the lies that they have reported.

It is not about the plane but rather about saving face.

      1. Because,it’s ‘news’ turn over news…Murdoch and his ilk..

      2. ” Terrorism scares and angers people, and fear and anger make for good audiences for the US media. The media in the US depends on ratings for advertising revenue (US media is privately funded) and so stories about terrorism get people’s attention causing more people to watch, listen or read, which brings in more money for the media.”

      3. Most of the stories are speculation, sensationalism and out right lies….and the public eats it up….so much for ignorance, huh?

      4. Well, you remind me of gigoid….grin
        I simply accept that people do not know what they are doing…they are asleep….no more no less…I won’t quote the bible you might hit me….but there is a quote in there that covers it..I have a neighbour who is a real bimbo…..I view her as asleep…if that is ignorance so be it…I prefer the word unconscious….unawareness…perhaps I am being kind. it is a difficult one because emotions get involved. 😉

      5. In honor of his birthday I will quote Malcolm X…..
        “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”

      6. Aha….we have the internet,which is changing things slowly….but I agree with Malcolm X…..thanx 🙂

      1. Oh “HE” was listening to another You Tube conspiracy program where they say aliens have destroyed CERN and all persons therein and there abouts. They kept harping on some fuzzy images of vehicles that were “Not from this World” so finally I asked if they were showing their fuzzy feed. They were and “HE” showed it to me; looked like a fuzzy imagine of two F1 cars to me. AND NO I ALSO DON’T THINK THE WORLD IS FLAT. I’m tired……sigh. dru
