Good one, Laz...
Yep. It's straight out of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. And, if you like, straight from its devotee, the Father of Lies, the ole Devil.
As I exited the courthouse, I noticed that all of the major local TV stations had their reporters, cameramen and satellite trucks situated outside the courthouse with all cameras focused at the building door.
Exactly at noon, 12 "protesters" (all of whom were court unionized employees) appeared. They lined up off camera and then proceeded to walk in a circle around the cameras and past the Courthouse door, each carrying a protest sign they had just picked up (about unfair treatment by the county). As they walked off camera, each "protester" picked up a different sign and went past the door again. This continued for about a minute, when the camera men indicated they got the footage. That's when the protest immediately stopped, the signs collected and many of the "protesters" went to a local cafe to get lunch.
Of course, the groups leader stuck around to be interviewed by the reporters on site.
The entire event was staged, with the active participation of the local media.
On the local news that evening, the "protest" received complete and detailed coverage, including comments from the anchor person about the huge protest at the courthouse.
The Old Media has committed professional suicide.

>One day I happened to notice that the three national news broadcasts had the exact same segments at the exact same time. This fascinated me.<
I’ve noticed this in my area as well. They follow the same line up and formula too.
I just watch to see what they’re trying to throw on the wall next.
Not all of us are nearly as stupid as the elite would like to believe we are.

Lap dogs, laz, lap dogs.
It’s no longer “the media” ... it’s the Ministry of Truth.
Laz...it ain’t a free press......

I look at how the press ignores the real issues of racism in America. When two white reporters get assaulted by black thugs in a true racially motivated hate crime, yet their own paper won't report it; then something is seriously wrong.
Wait. I take that back. The press doesn't always ignore racial issues. Sometimes they EXACERBATE and INFLAME racial tensions. See any coverage of Trayvon Martin for example. Where an innocent little boy was assassinated by racist George Zimmerman.
America has lost our voice. When the press is in bed with liberalism to such a sad degree, we have truly abandoned our rights to a Free Press. But there's hope. Look at Pravda. Once a tool of the Communist government; once a state run media - now is a Free Press indeed!
Maybe some day America can be so lucky.
Fast and Furious.....Catholic church suing the administration.....
With the ability to manipulate and cover up to this degree, I question whether we can ever have another honest election in this country. I really doubt it.
Good post. Maybe we were neighbors - I grew up in Rochester, NY too. City until '62, then Henrietta. Remember both the knobs 9even "autotuners" just turned the knob with the same clicking action) and we had a motorized antenna on the roof with the direction control dial to point it in the best direction. In the '50s we had 2 channles (5 and 10). Then a third was added (13?). 9PM news channel was picked by who you wanted to hear spew it at you ("Goodnight David/Goodnight Chet).
Our watchdog press is busy humping the leg of the Democrat party.
Exactly right.

Well done!
In the same vein Rush has provided examples of network sound bites from the same day where an 'operative' word is used by them all. It made me wonder if they all get together and have a briefing.
The MSM has a Truth Deficit Disorder that excels in selective reporting, double-standards, lies of omission, and how issues our couched. For example:
Nothing has changed. Journalist and magazine editor H.L. Menken (1880-1956) said it best.
Step 1: get a bunch of young people wanting fame and attention
Step 2: get them equipped with cameras/video/computers/video editing software
Step 3: Set up a You Tube channel for them linked to all the right leaning blogs and websites
Step 4: send them out to film/report on the ‘behind the scenes’ events of media coverage.
Step 5: Lionize them for their bold and brash bravado in making media safe for future generations.
Note that none of the above is in anyway a lie/unethical. We merely set them up for a bright future in their chosen career choice - NEW (read that ‘honest’)media. Note that most already have the equipment. They just need some “community organizing” to make it happen ;)
