of course, the real question is what is the legitimacy about the report of 100 deaths. you really believe this,,,,,and choose to think this was truthful?? she is just more of bs.
EXACTLY we are in a matrix my friends... Everybody should know that..If you want to have an objective view of what is going on : don't watch or read the news.. Make your own
Ya because the right wing media just loves making the government look really good...in America the media NEVER criticizes the governement. (A cookie to whoever can note the sarcasm in my comment.)
I so agree with you on many issues (allthow every issue needs some research, and on most issues not everybody does agree), in my opinion as a male i guess you are the first female with witch i believe i could stay and talk without any sexual interferences. I admire your work... (hope it's not a waste of your time)
Unfortunately it has a lot to do with the power and manipulations of the political parties and the government of course. Independent media is the only way to find somewhat like a balance. But as 9-11 and the so called war against terrorism was used to have more political control over media (in the US as well as in Germany) we all have to care for this problem. It´s all about our civil rights! So thanx for your critical vid!
I totally agree with you. The reason that story wasn't covered is what's wrong with the capitalist modern world. People only care when their money depends on it.
The media think it is more important that citizens are made aware of the opinions of a beauty pageant bimbo than what their elected officials are doing and what is happening in the real world that actually matters and affects you.
A lot of people make money from Wars and Drugs. Always have but hopefully in the new awakened world that sorry kind of behavior will come to an end (just like slavery and serfdom did in the 1860's). We look at that time with horror, just as future generations will look at our current behavior as such. Also, remember what the Romans did for "entertainment"? That's our glorious legacy.
Create a news channel for each topic, there will be one for weather, sports, entertainment, etc... oops those already exist; TWC, ESPN, E! Well then to make you happy we will make one for you favorite topic DEATH! Specifically those caused by Americans only! All it will cover is suicides, murders, homicide, rape resulting in death... actually that should get it's own channel. But you get the idea... have fun with that!!!
Unfortunately mass media provides bias, slanted, sensational information not because that is what they want us to hear but because that is what their viewers (us) continue to watch and read.
When we raise our viewing standards there will be plenty of organizations flocking to take our business by providing what we desire.
Seems we all are control by a powerful group of people with certain ideology..the news are biased, cameras and satelites watching ur each and every move... we are all like sheeps..being herded into the direction most desirable to those who control us...
The resident maybe next time you'll pay attention to Dennis Kucinich as a viable candidate (I.E the true and only peace candidate)? I think Obama was sold to us no differently than Bush was sold to us. But I also believe vice president Joe Biden is responsible for his war decisions thus far. Joe Biden's just another war monger like bush. Just a more well organized one.
Noam Chomsky is the best person to ask that question. He has written a lot of books based on how media is driven. The media has to make money and they will show what ever maintains there base. Simple. ONLINE ALTERNATIVE NEWS MEDIA IS THE BEST!
Which was it 20, 50 or 100? And where do you get your facts?
The fact that you make it a "contest" shows this bias. There is a double standard here.
Civilian casualties happen in every war. It doesn't matter if it is Obama or Bush. The media needs to report it.
But you are right. Obama supporters are desensitized. Those who were screaming at Bush to stop the war don't care what Obama does they are so in love with him.
You know what is really ****ed up about this. NPR and PBS gave this story more coverage then the MSM media. Both NPR and PBS are funded by the same government that killed these people. It's the "independent" commercial media, that ignored the story.
Proof this story is about the money and not "censorship"
Isn't GE a major defense contractor? Isn't that right there a conflict of interest when reporting on war?
What's your point - why are you so quick to dismiss other motive in the media? GE makes more money on war than it does on media - ever heard of a loss leader?
Most people should just use their own brains and come to their own conclusions instead of relying on whatever media resource they depend on. If they happen to believe something that is false then that is their own fault and will usually get correct by running into other people's opinions.
Res, your end conclusion is so true, well said! Unfortunately, most internet junkies pick & choose sites/blogs/news sources that agree with their own views, ones that espouse a narrow set of views, intead of what you suggest. Most ppl are just lazy, and look for stuff they want to hear, or just take the crap they get from msnbc, cbs or cnn as actual "news".
The media is biased , including "The Resident". The 100 civilians were being used as human shields by the taliban. You conveniently left that part out. The media uses stories that sell, including "The Resident", who's story was biased and incomplete.
exactly what OriMeissa sayed, the news here in the usa is all biased, and if its not, chances are those news are not as commercial or public, and btw i didnt know you were in 42nd yesterday, i was about to go there after school, i would have gotten to talk to you :)
media motivations in line with political rhetoric. Journalists tow the line with the politics/ monopolies that pay their self interest, The system is an ever growing complex machine. cold war, in the west we were turned on to the horrors of the enemy, governments funded by the USSR, turning public opinion into hysteria. The governments that the west funded (IRAQ) media turned a blind eye. it was in the west interest to mute a public view. oh the irony
Completely agree with the conclusion and especially, looking at news from other countries allows exposure to different point of views, different clips and stories, different analysis. The good news: there are plenty of reputable foreign channels even on YouTube. The bad news: it takes more time and more efforts hence, a small section of the population does that.
i was justt about to say, why don't you have your own cable network backing you by now with your own show/segment... haha and now it's this Russia Today thing --- great work ... you're absolutely amazing!
I am familiar with it because of the subject I work with: psychiatry.
I spoke to big media leaders about it and they learned me why they couldn't just report about what was going on in psychiatry, mainly because it was not in the interest of their readers.
After all, the newspaper is there for the readers. It will report however they want. If they want to know about awful things going on in Afghanistan, they would report about it. If not, maybe rather not.
I do not know if Brits would agree but as a Canadian I find BBC World News and AlJazeera to be great sources for international news and for the least bias perspective.
Wow! Great topic choice! It is incredible how the US media reports on the deaths of its troops but had failed miserably to report on the civilians deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Notice this double edged sword. As the internet replaces print papers,and soon network TV, there won't be alternate sources of news gathered by professionals. Citizens of a country can report on a story from their point of view,but there will be a lack of alternate views. So long as the net is not regulated,independent news will be more free than corporate sponsored news.
Good job! This is a big reason we need to keep the internet unregulated. When we look for the truth we soon discover it has certain characteristics, It is invinciable and often irreversable. Truth withstands the test of time. If fear is used to motivate the reader then the news becomes suspect. Demand the truth. Peace makes all things possible. That is truth!
The Newshour with Jim Lehrer reported the airstrikes. This is not the first or last time civilans have been killed in war. Enough said, did Miss California get to keep her crown ?
it wasn't censored, just nobody wanted to talk about it. Don't listen to RT like it's the truth, they think that the United states in going to split up in 6 parts.
Even in democracies today, crucial information is available to only a few individuals who control the flow of information to the rest of the government and consequently control decisions. For example, the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 determined whether nuclear war would engulf billions of people.Today look back on the methods used to gather information from so called terrorists. Central governments have always controlled the flow of information to the public.
It's great to seek out the whole story from all sides. Even better if you understand that only a true democracy, with national initiatives, will get you out from under the mess of a Republic (trusting only politicians to make all important desions for you, including what MSM chooses to tell you) vote. org Stop playing games :)
Well I agree with you that you should get your info from all angles by getting different sources, but I know I am always biased to believe what that first thing I read said.
BTW: Didn't you get your information about the air strikes from some form of media?
i knew about this and it appears that most commenters did. these are people whose information gathering might be more aggressive, judging from the timely comments. it was covered enough to be on google news. i doubt many serious people limit themselves in their news sources. the net has opened and closed various sources, but i agree, the news one gets reflects more on the person than the source. excellent "obituary" of the print media on narcosphere blog today.
Why is that so unlikely? Didnt you see how Obama responded to the question about PRE KNOWLEDGE of civilian deaths inorder to kill "terrorists" during the campaign? He said he wouldnt hesitate even if it meant GUARUNTEED civilian deaths. How many Americans batted an eye? So why the fuck WOULDNT the US conduct an air raid that would kill that many civilians. Who the would/could do anything about if they did? . "Doubtful"? seriously what planet do you live on. Pretty naive stuff mr pilot.
Weve all heard the platitude...yeah war is hell ... except if your a nice and comfortable sitting at your computer sipping coffee and typing about how hellish it is.
No one is putting this on the united states as if killing civilians is a new phenomenon. Dont know where I said that. I find it very revealing though that there are always people like ricky the pilot that knee jerk to assume that somehow reports of civilians bieng killed is just "taliban and their families".
Btw hell on earth is why war is to be avoided at all costs. Basically it should be reserved for times when its starkly obvious you can save more lives by doing it(ww2) . Theres nothing about the Osama that couldnt have been averted by something as simple as better airport security for god sakes(BOXCUTTERS??)
Afghanistan was about retribution and we all know this. Most Americans just wanted blood after 911.
Osama should have been held accountable. Just like all criminals. Unfortunately that is clearly not the governments plan. (And I doubt that it ever was their plan)
I 100% agree he should have been held accountable. And I also agree it wasnt their plan to get Osama. If it was they wouldnt have gone in like a bull in a china shop killing all those innocent people. He should have been tirelessly hunted like a dog not a nuclear war head that was about to destroy America at any minute. What a retarded overreaction.
Serious news programmes in the UK covered the US airstrike in Afghanistan and I suspect that serious news sources in the US will also have reported it, but the media report what is most relevant to their consumers and what can be reported in the limited space/time available so I suspect that one reason why many of those interviewed knew nothing about the airstrike was that they were not consumers of the serious news sources.
The hopelessness comes from the fact that virtually everyone knows they're being told what someone else wants them to think, yet they're still at the mercy of the that screen, and willingly.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to catch up on my Pruane2Forever subscriptions.
Choose your information-media by their target audience, M(r)s. Resident. That's why your President reads the investigation-reports and Beavis reads Mad. :) Good job since for a while. Greetings from Germany.
Russia Today - not unbiased, merely another perspective. Nowadays we can't rely on any one news source to inform us - the MSM is US corporate owned, so it puts out news that favors Wall Street. Al Jazeera is Arab, so it speaks from that perspective. And AJ did cover the air strike, as did Real News.
Pick and choose, and weigh the stories in the context of their sources. Otherwise you'll just be another sheep.

matrix1951 2 years ago
Even in democracies today, crucial information is available to only a few individuals who control the flow of information to the rest of the government and consequently control decisions. For example, the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 determined whether nuclear war would engulf billions of people.Today look back on the methods used to gather information from so called terrorists. Central governments have always controlled the flow of information to the public.

It's great to seek out the whole story from all sides. Even better if you understand that only a true democracy, with national initiatives, will get you out from under the mess of a Republic (trusting only politicians to make all important desions for you, including what MSM chooses to tell you) vote. org Stop playing games :)

Well I agree with you that you should get your info from all angles by getting different sources, but I know I am always biased to believe what that first thing I read said.
BTW: Didn't you get your information about the air strikes from some form of media?
melissa10474 2 years ago
i knew about this and it appears that most commenters did. these are people whose information gathering might be more aggressive, judging from the timely comments. it was covered enough to be on google news. i doubt many serious people limit themselves in their news sources. the net has opened and closed various sources, but i agree, the news one gets reflects more on the person than the source. excellent "obituary" of the print media on narcosphere blog today.

I heard about it. It was on Al Jazeera and CNN. Of course they are also " the media" . I figured, there is some truth in any story.
- U.S. bombed a target, yeah
- Civilians were killed, yeah
- 100 civilians ??? doubtful
- Taliban fighters and their families, maybe
- Wayward missile, possible but 1 lost missile killing 100 civilians, very unlikely

Why is that so unlikely? Didnt you see how Obama responded to the question about PRE KNOWLEDGE of civilian deaths inorder to kill "terrorists" during the campaign? He said he wouldnt hesitate even if it meant GUARUNTEED civilian deaths. How many Americans batted an eye? So why the fuck WOULDNT the US conduct an air raid that would kill that many civilians. Who the would/could do anything about if they did? . "Doubtful"? seriously what planet do you live on. Pretty naive stuff mr pilot.

Oh and btw since when did a child of a Taliban become acceptable cannon fodder.
nijaexhile3 2 years ago
since World War 1.
war is hell, and innocent people get killed, but to put this on the United States like civilian killings are a new phenom is just wrong.
thequietkid10 2 years ago
Weve all heard the platitude...yeah war is hell ... except if your a nice and comfortable sitting at your computer sipping coffee and typing about how hellish it is.
No one is putting this on the united states as if killing civilians is a new phenomenon. Dont know where I said that. I find it very revealing though that there are always people like ricky the pilot that knee jerk to assume that somehow reports of civilians bieng killed is just "taliban and their families".
nijaexhile3 2 years ago
Btw hell on earth is why war is to be avoided at all costs. Basically it should be reserved for times when its starkly obvious you can save more lives by doing it(ww2) . Theres nothing about the Osama that couldnt have been averted by something as simple as better airport security for god sakes(BOXCUTTERS??)
Afghanistan was about retribution and we all know this. Most Americans just wanted blood after 911.
nijaexhile3 2 years ago
Osama should have been held accountable. Just like all criminals. Unfortunately that is clearly not the governments plan. (And I doubt that it ever was their plan)
thequietkid10 2 years ago
I 100% agree he should have been held accountable. And I also agree it wasnt their plan to get Osama. If it was they wouldnt have gone in like a bull in a china shop killing all those innocent people. He should have been tirelessly hunted like a dog not a nuclear war head that was about to destroy America at any minute. What a retarded overreaction.

Serious news programmes in the UK covered the US airstrike in Afghanistan and I suspect that serious news sources in the US will also have reported it, but the media report what is most relevant to their consumers and what can be reported in the limited space/time available so I suspect that one reason why many of those interviewed knew nothing about the airstrike was that they were not consumers of the serious news sources.

The hopelessness comes from the fact that virtually everyone knows they're being told what someone else wants them to think, yet they're still at the mercy of the that screen, and willingly.

Choose your information-media by their target audience, M(r)s. Resident. That's why your President reads the investigation-reports and Beavis reads Mad. :) Good job since for a while. Greetings from Germany.

sounds like they just look on the internet the news channels they would watch on TV.
Of course if they don't bring such an article on the net if the broadcasters don't show it on TV.
I saw the report on the attack and I read it on the net. The people just have to know where to look.

Fenristhegreat 2 years ago 3
Russia Today - not unbiased, merely another perspective. Nowadays we can't rely on any one news source to inform us - the MSM is US corporate owned, so it puts out news that favors Wall Street. Al Jazeera is Arab, so it speaks from that perspective. And AJ did cover the air strike, as did Real News.
Pick and choose, and weigh the stories in the context of their sources. Otherwise you'll just be another sheep.

Exactly. To know what US is doing wrong go to their biggest rival. To know what Russia is doing wrong watch US MSM. Its actually pretty fool proof.
