As always it starts with some news "planted" in a big newspaper... in this case NYT.

There are no proofs... just the classic anonymous intelligence community sources say!

Right after other newspapers, TV channels and media figures give the news as a fact... and it spreads all over the world.

Rachel Maddow doesn't loses time and spreads the news... already with an elaborated conspiracy theory!

Excellent article from Caitlin Johnstone that shows how this repeating process is done... exactly like we saw in the escalation to the Iraq invasion!

Manufacturing Consent series are examples of how the media changes people's perception of reality... to advance elites goals!

Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky demonstrated it in a magnificent book and film... ONE OF THEM IS MANDATORY!
