Pravda asks: What happened to American media?
WND ^ | March 9, 2012 | Chelsea Schilling

Posted on 03/10/2012 1:48:33 PM PST by opentalk

It’s a twist of irony: The Russian news website Pravda has published an accusation that the American media is “tame,” afraid to publish news and is “deliberately hiding the evidence published on the internet about [President Obama's] defrauding of the American public and the deliberate evisceration of the Constitution of the United States.”

In a March 7 Pravda column, “Arizona sheriff finds Obama presidential qualifications forged,” Dianna Cotter, a senior at American Military University, blasts America’s mainstream media for their virtual silence about Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s six-month investigation into the controversy surrounding Obama’s birth certificate and his constitutional eligibility for office.

“A singularly remarkable event has taken place in the United States of America,” Cotter wrote. “This event occurred in Arizona on March 1st and was an earth shattering revelation. … Yet, in the five days since [Arpaio's] revelations there has been little in the way of serious reporting on the findings he presented in his presser. With 6 short videos, the Sheriff and his team presented a devastating case, one the tame US press is apparently unable to report.”

..“Silence so loud it can be felt.”

Because FR cowered in the corner, biting a blanket.

The answer is simple.

Those who own the media in the country have agendas that aren’t necessarily in America’s best interest. I think the fact that a Saudi sheik is the number 2 shareholder of Foxnews is going to have an effect as to how Foxnews reports on Obama or the Middle-east.

It’s not just that reporters have been propagandized at the re-education camps we call universities. There are still more than a few reporters who actually would like to do actual reporting.

The American Press is deliberately hiding the evidence published on the internet about this defrauding of the American public and the deliberate evisceration of the Constitution of the United States. It is hiding Barack Obama’s Fraud as it has been revealed by a Sheriff in Arizona. The silence of the American press would be unbelievable if it weren’t so blatantly obvious.

It is nearly as egregious as the audacity of Obama’s fraud itself.

"i STILL wanna know why we are citing Pravda as a source for ... anything???"

Because, unlike the American media, they are not in the tank for Obama.

Oh come on... you don't see the irony in this?

What irony? All I see is that the birther argument is so insane now, they have to go to Pravda. That's not irony, that's just pathetic.

I prefer countries with serious news media and reporting. Like North Korea. I would never have known that the former Dear Leader was a whiz at golf and could regularly get a hole-in-one.

... like the professor who claims they hid information about Bell/Obama connection during 2008. He said of course "we" hid this during the election. (laughing)

Well..., could it be because you can’t find this truth in our MSM?

Did you ever think Pravda would be a purveyor of truth, and our MSM wouldn’t be?

And yet, on this issue that is precisely what we have here.

What major MSM player has taken an interest in the issue we may have an illegal alien in the White House? I’m not convinced this guy is a U. S. Citizen.

From: George Soros -- the rich man who is hated around the world

...In November, 2003 Al Jazeera reported, “men in battle fatigues have raided the Moscow headquarters of billionaire investor George Soros.” One of the Open Society executives said the attackers had removed documents as a “climax to a long-running commercial dispute.” Soros’s fund pulled out of Russia that year, after having lost a reported $2 billion.

The Pravda of Cold War propaganda days is defunct; this is a newer media outlet that is utilizing the same name. There's no other connection that I've found, in fact, some FReepers take issue with that site's owner "stealing" the "old" Pravda's name, or something like that. Whatever.

It appears to be as legitimate as other foreign news services such as Costa News, Le Monde and BBC, all of which can be hit-or-miss... but they're putting out more useful news than our state-run media.

Think of it this way: Pravda is now legitimate because the Communists that used to run it are now employed west of the Atlantic.

It is truly ironic a former soviet propaganda outlet is mocking USA MSM. Knowing and having insight to the sheriffs deputies volunteers and skill sets, there is no doubt in my mind of their findings. They are now after the forger. Pravda is the first. Wherever BHO travels, the aroma this unresolved issue will follow.. The Sheriff’s assertion that BHO documents are not just “forgeries” but “bad forgeries” at best rings loudly.

BHO leads the Islamic global soft Jihad. Remember the Doors “Soft Parade?”. BHO’s mask is off. He’s a devious well prOtected traveler. Pravda recognizes this charade. So do we.

Amazing. Journalism in America is dead. All they do is publish leftwing talking points.

FR collapsed right there with the best of them. The Mods were working overtime throwing Breaking News threads into chat on 3/1, when we were desperately trying to report Arpaio's press conference. It was sickening to see what has happened with the once great news source, Free Republic.

“The article in Pravda is written by a Freeper.”

Yes, and the admin at FR will move this to CHAT or BLOGGERS as they have done with previous posts of this article.

Makes one wonder if FR is now part of the MSM?
