“However, many poisonous seeds had already been sown and as the 1990's progressed the 1960's generation came into their own, and began taking over positions of responsibility. They are now dispersed throughout society. Many of them retain their anti-American hatreds and are in positions to act on them.”
The young radicals of the 60’s were financed supported and directed by foreign communists/socialists. They have become college professors, teachers, lawyers, politicians, clergy, news and entertainment media and the business world elite. They are “educating” and recruiting our young for their replacements.

1) Beginning in the 1820s, Martin Van Buren and other pols who were afraid that the declining political power of the slave states was going to result in either a) the north abolishing slavery, or b) the south secedeing because of slavery, set out to create a national political party that would elevate personal greed/job security over ideology (views on slavery). That party was called the Democrats. To "get out the vote," the Dems relied on a number of tactics, but for our purposes the most important was the creation of a "partisan press," whose sole job it was to get Dems elected. They ONLY covered Dem politicians (favorably). After a while, a rival press, run by the Whigs, started to do the same for the Whigs. Either way, neither press reported "news" but rather PARTISAN viewpoints. That was their reason for existing.
2) In the Civil War, the demand for real information and facts, coupled with the widespread use of the telegraph---which required an economy of words ("just the facts, ma'am")---led to a new journalism based mostly on facts, with "editorial" now pushed to the last page. Over a 20 year period, most papers in the country (which had previously been subsidized by the parties) started to increase circulation and drop their subsidies. To get bigger circulations, you had to be "fair and balanced" and not offend a large sement of your readers who might be either Republicans or Democrats. By 1910, journalists had adopted codes of ethics, reporting guidelines that insisted on MULTIPLE known sources, "getting both sides of the story," and basic fairness. Papers REPORTED, they didn't PREACH. (Again, you have a couple of exceptions, such as the Hearst papers). 3) This lasted until the 1960s, when for reasons not entirely known (or which I haven't yet proven) the journalists began a rapid shift to the left. I think this happened early, under JFK, NOT later, during Vietnam and Watergate. But either way, by 1975, the major media was decidedly leftist.
In the 1980s we started to enter a fourth era, not completed yet, in which the "new (conservative) media" has fought back and is now offering alternative interpretations of news. We are, in many ways, back to the 1830s, except that people today THINK that "news" is, well, news and not propaganda.
Well done, starbase!
The NY Slimes goes back to the Russian Revolution and their lies and spins to cover up the mass murders and starvation of innocent Russian peasants after the Revolution. The so called Progressive Party was spawned across America before WWI. It went dormant during WWI and restarted after WWI. They were the Godfathers of socialism, high taxation for the poor and big government in America. Hubert Humphrey, McGovern, Tom Brokaw and other politcal leaders from the Midwest Farm belt were the pushers and leaders in the last 50 years of the past century.
In the 1930's before WWII started, many of the MSM started pushing the German Euthanasia plans to rid the unwanted from littering the Earth. Margaret Sanger and other early pushers of abortion and birth control were the poster girls and boys.
The so called Isolationists from WW I to WWII came from the Progressives and pro Nazi German fans like Joseph Kennedy and Lindburg.
You have nailed the after WWII poster boys and girls.
So much of this has been funded by the children and grand children of very successful capitalists. They hate competition and push socialism as a guise to push fascism where only a few big corporations have government approval and union approval to exist.
Elites from NYC, Boston, the NE, and the Beltway area have controlled the MSM bias for decades if not for over a century.
And an excellent effort it is, too. ;^)
"Please share any comments you have."
Really have nothing much more to add to what strikes me an already well thought out opinion piece. (~& I thought about it all with every swing of my ax.)
Except this:
"Who is controlling the propaganda in the media?"
Much of it may in fact be "institutional", granted.
But don't kid yourself, either.
There're faces & names behind what we're seeing perpetrated upon us all by the MSM, alright.
You bet there are, make no mistake about that.
It's just that they're probably *not* the kinds of faces most of us would imagine: bearded Lennon-spectacled geeks with pony tails & wearing Birkenstock.
The "editors" yea, likely; but, not the big-shots pulling the levers behind the proverbial curtain.
No-way-Jose'.
Those responsible for all the lies, the spin, the treason and anger probably don't look *like* the stooges they hire to run their concern(s) one bit.
Methinks the big-shots are rather well groomed. Wear designer glasses & only the finest hand tailored apparel from the best clothiers. Yup, sure do. This ilk drives the fanciest beamers, Benzs & Rolls and belong to only the best country clubs and places where they may rub elbows with those of their warped kind.
Know what else I suspect concerning 9 out of 10 of these type of people?
They're registered Republicans. ;^)
Anyway maybe I'm right & maybe I'm wrong but whatever the truth really is?
...you just keep up the great work, y'hear?
