If Barack Obama had a propaganda minister with the power to shut you down if you ran stories that embarrassed him or his administration, would your station, your network, your newspaper, your magazine still be in business?

WOW! OSC really hit the nail on the head... I've been referring to the so called "mainstream media" as "The Ministry of Propaganda" for some time now.

Most so-called "journalists" today, don't have the slightest shred of journalistic integrity and quite frankly are knowingly dishonest.

Yeah.
In my work I could be, and am, called a journalist and I bristle at the term because I don’t want to be thought of in the same breath as them. I avoid them whenever I can, as if I aren’t enough of a hermit already, LOL!

Cheers,
