Around 1996-97.
Shortly after the OKC bombing I knew SOMEthing was wrong when the first ID’d bomber, a middle-eastern man, disappeared from the news cycle before the FBI came out and said they’d captured Nichols.
There were other indications. The assault on the peaceful members of the SDA church in WACO by combined forces of FBI, ATF, US Army over an alleged $200 tax violation which could have been settled months earlier before killing anyone.
Several other events got me to reading WA Times and some news outlets on the web like World Net Daily.
Friend of mine urged me to compare just the Sunday editions of WaPo and Wash. Times and see what stories the Post didn’t even report on, or buried 20 pages in with scant reportage.
Mind blowing. Then I started to listen, actually LISTEN, to Rush Limbaugh.
Mainstream media is coordinated, they get talking points daily from the White House and DNC. It’s like they’re all clones of each other. Same with print media. No ifs ands or buts.
Thanks for asking.
Take WND with a grain of salt. My advice as a schooled journalist. Although it doesn’t lean to the left, it DOES lack credibility for good reason: many of its “reporters” are people with agendas who pretend they don’t have one. The only journalism worthwhile is from reporters who may or may not have agendas, but who at least sincerely recognize their own biases and attempt to compensate for them in their reporting by seeking out info they may not want to hear and if it’s true, publishing it in spite of their agendas. WND is ... a bad choice for news, IMO.
BINGO! When I read about Jayna Davis’ research & the fact that NBC shut her down, I knew the fix was in. I was already disgusted by the dishonest reporting of the crimes at Ruby Ridge & Waco, but it was the OKC-Murrah building cover-up that got me to turn off MSM for good.
