The origins of yellow journalism and a reminder on how even the most respected elements of the U.S. media were accomplices in fomented the disastrous war in Iraq. pbs.org/crucible/journ…
Before we blamed Facebook we knew that high rotation cable coverage was the enemy. It still is. But what about the major dailies who had the time and money to investigate and fact check? fair.org/home/where-are…
But here we go again with one sided, special interest or think tank sourced reporting and creating yet another faceless enemy. Not just Iran but in other regions like Yemen, Libya, Syria, Noko, etc with little to no ground reporting theintercept.com/2018/03/17/new…
Example: The media once loved Libya circa 2011 due to easy access, lots of bang bang and child-like story of Ghaddafi's fall. Now that Trump has reversed policy the US media is scrambling to define exactly what the hell is going on but with almost zero ground reporting.
It's Ok not to care about Libya but it is yet another step in the slow creep to a hardened stance against Iran supported by special interests that is intended to lead to America to war and the creation of more violence and global terrorist acts. ecfr.eu/mena/mapping_l…
