In 1998, Matt Drudge made his big mark breaking the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which Newsweek had buried to protect President Clinton. Think Obama’s Tiger Beat would have done that for Bush?
It has only gone way downhill since into Soviet-era Pravda territory. The MSM’s modus operandi today is identical, and I don’t say that lightly. But having listened to Radio Moscow broadcasts on ham radio for years during the Cold War era, combined with some Naval Intelligence training and research into the subject, I deconstructed the Soviets’ propaganda MO down to five simple canons.

“1. Always make the State and its political leadership appear infallible.
2. Promote the State’s ideology and official policies wherever possible.
2. Demonize political adversaries and dissidents as enemies of the State.
4. Suppress news that reflects poorly on the State or its leadership.
5. If bad news cannot be suppressed, attack and discredit the source””
Absolutely right.
“All five are in direct violation of every principle of objective and unbiased journalism there is:

2. Promote the State’s ideology and official policies wherever possible.
2. Demonize political adversaries and dissidents as enemies of the State.
4. Suppress news that reflects poorly on the State or its leadership.
5. If bad news cannot be suppressed, attack and discredit the source.”
BTTT for truth!

Bingo.
1. Always make the State and its political leadership appear infallible.
2. Promote the State’s ideology and official policies wherever possible.
2. Demonize political adversaries and dissidents as enemies of the State.
4. Suppress news that reflects poorly on the State or its leadership.
5. If bad news cannot be suppressed, attack and discredit the source.

God help us.
Strange.
I have yet to hear a SINGLE mainstream ABCNNBCBS reporter, anchor, or “approved guest” say ANYTHING derogatory, adverse, irritating, or even simply DISAGREEING with ANYTHING that Obama’s administration, appointees, or cabal has said since September, 2008.
According to the MSM, this administration has been “perfect” in every act they do, every bulletin they issue, every law they push, every ACORN they plant, and every prosecutor and attorney general they fire!
Read article at link, Opened link to Pravda.ru, found a plethora of non-obama material which needed my immediate attention.
It was if they went to the same journalism schools.
Tokyo Rose and Baghdad Bob were instructors at Pravda Hall, University of Marxism School of Journalism, in a city near you and I.
The TWILIGHT ZONE? This is a re-run of what’s been presented as journalism for decades and Americans still don’t get it.

At least Pravda had an excuse....they were coerced by the Soviet government. Our state run media voluteered to be cheerleaders for zer0 and his democRAT minions.
