Welcome to FR. We can attack the media.

You weren’t here in 2004. Ever hear of a thing called Rathergate? Forged documents aired on the SeeBS Evening News for a solid week as genuine articles? Except they kerned to the exact spacing of a default MS Word document.

The defenders held up the fax as a “real” thing because “the signatures match”. You can paste a real signature into a photocopy.

There was no handsigned hand typed document. It only ever existed in the electronic realm.

Dan Rather was fired. He lost the nightly anchor he’d held.

You REALLY believe that he was the only dishonest journalist feeding the public daily misinformation?

The American media establishment is more biased than Pravda during the height of the Cold War. Except the Soviet people were at least smart enough to know that there was no truth in Pravda. Americans still poo poo the notion of media bias.

They are waking up. It is NOT a losing game.

The mass media is losing financial strength by the day. Print media is in a tailspin. Network news is barely treading water. Not from the current manufactured economic “crisis”, either. They were in decline before the SHTF.

Remember how President Bush handled that? Didn't say a word. Absolutely the right approach.
