US media fail: Gulf War I propaganda

Sunday January 16th marks the 20 year anniversary of the first Gulf War, where a UN-authorized coalition force led by the US and United Kingdom fought against Iraq for the purpose of pushing Iraqi troops out of Kuwait. However nay argue the war was really an international attempt to secure access to Kuwaiti oil resource, a notion left highly undiscussed at the time of the conflict. Jeff Cohen, a media critic and journalism professor at Ithaca College said the US media did not investigate, they merely carried US government propaganda, working as an arm of the American political machine. "Most of the things that the American people believed about the war were false."

Margarita Simonyan, RT's editor-in-chief is also a correspondent of Russia's "Vesti" - daily news on Russia's 1st channel (Russian mainstream media). She is also a honored member of so-called "Kremlin Pool" - group of Russian journalists accredited (by president himself) to regularly cover the activities of the President of Russia and the top Russian government.

Basically what you are watching is a "Russian Media injection"

good luck to you guys

Tom " CFR " Brokaw , is a complete FRAUD a DECEIVER like most in msm . During 9/11 , literally during the collapse of the towers , BEFORE ANY investigation said the following " We need to revisit our Freedoms " . So on the spot he started to condition Viewers to the propaganda lie , in order to "be safe " we need to reduce our freedom .

@DurexDurpaneu2 I remember being taught about German propaganda during WWII in grade school. Not one question was raised concerning the extent and examples of American propaganda. At that time, the Gulf War was just a few years prior and yet no discussion of American public manipulation.

American's act as if our government would NEVER, EVER do such a thing. It's not even a possibility in the public's mind! How can all those people be in such a brainwashed state?

I am very happy to see the suffering of Americans and unemployment. Americans are generally EVIL from the day they created America. America is occupied territory . So is Canada and Australia.
