I found this at The View from Lady Lake today and it struck me as interesting.

Was there ever a time or a place where the news was treated as a valued commodity and it was regulated as if it was a commodity such as gold? Was there a news assayer who put his mark on the product to inform the public that this was in fact 99.9% true and accurate news?
Of course the interesting thing about that is, why would anyone ever suspect that such was ever the case? What aspect of the news leads people to believe that there is no person or organization whose objective is to sway the people by presenting them only one sort of information while claiming to be representative of all the news sources? The news was all about competition for readers eyes, attentions and wallets. It instantly veered to the entertainment side of the column.
Oh sure, some of us were young when 60 minutes started up and may even have believed that they were serious journalists whose sole interest was ferreting out the truth. It only took one instance of the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect to bring you up short on the idea that the news is or ever could be completely factual and free of error. That's what I liked about this clip.
Everything we think we know about a civilization and a culture came from a couple of rooms.

Barry did sign the Smith-Mundt act.
I will say 60 Minutes Waco and year later Waco Revisited was excellent reporting for most part,about the onlty time I agreed with msm.
I called the News room of a popular station in Tyler Texas and asked the woman how they decided what stories they would cover every day. I asked if it was an In House decision or if they were told what they would be reporting on.
"Ohh, WE decide what we will be reporting on. We have a basket and there are papers in it. We look through them and pick one."
She absolutely Believed they had complete autonomy. I tried to get her to understand that if someone sends reports on a few topics and You can talk about one or two of Those things, you are being told What you can talk about. After about five minutes of her Tellin me they were free to report on whatever they wanted, in spite of the admitted Fact that they were limited to choosing from a few prepared reports that mysteriously appear in The Inbox.
I don't watch the news. If hiring Donna Brazeal didn't show ya what Fox is,, Well.. What can I? If you've never seen a demonstration of Every news station delivering Exactly the same report, word for word,
Wanna see something unnerving?
news reporters saying the exact same thing
Copy and paste that into your favorite search engine.
I trust the people who take the time to put a blog together more than anyone else. Okay, Ron Paul, James O'Keefe, maybe a coupla others,
I would watch that. I'd be watching closely to see if they showed the guys going in the window on the second floor. Two went in,close together, the third stuck his rifle in the window and waved it around and got down. Hmm,,didn't Clinton
" Lose " two former bodyguards at Waco?
Our Barry? The Lightworker?
I would like to know what the hell happened at the Waco Motorcycle takedown which all but vanished from history. Are all those guys still locked up pending trials?
The news watching ended many many years ago and to be honest for a long time it was like a signals intelligence thing. It gave me some warning if I was going to get a call from Bahrain or Group ONE asking me to come over asap. After I retired it was habit and then that finally petered out a little later.
Yeah,a Yuge void of information surrounds that motorcycle Kerfuffle.
The BBC should be at 5.2% trusted, not 52%. They are the mouthpiece of Queer Starmer and his crew of traitors.
Dr Irving Finkel is an interesting listen with the mannerisms of everyone's crazy uncle.
One of maybe 5 men that can sight read cuneiform writing and I just saw him answering questions. in his inimitable way for Philomena Cunk on Assyrians. Wonderful short on youtube.
