America is the very last nation morally entitled to lecture any other Nation nor its Leaders.

Media everywhere are spreading propaganda one way or another, though some are worse than others. The trick is to interact with media from all around the world and see things from all sides. The internet is perfect for this. However, the US mainstream media is maybe some of the worst, spreading fear and proganda into the american people. The rich bastards that own them are most likely in the club of lobbyists that more or less control the US government (Obama seems as a good guy, but I dont believe he has much power...). We in the west now and then hear about propaganda in, among others, the Russian media, but the average american should instead try to see how they are totally brainwashed at home.

Democracy Now and Amy Goodman covered this angle and identified the New York Times and its Editors as being responsible for slapping Iran into stories that had nothing to do with Iran. When Obama went to Egypt and discussed matters pertaining to Gaza and the Middle East, NY Times used that event to Highlight the conflict that America was having with Iran. In a Dear Abby column, a letter appeared asking what people should do when Iran bombs Israel. Finally, Hate Radio personalities will make claims that Iran has Hundreds [sic] of nuclear bombs and that they have "promised" to destroy Israel. Michael Savadge, e.g., will be talking about vodka one second and he is on a tirade about Ahmadinijad. He even has guest speakers pumping out lies about Iran and Islam. A look accross the media spectra shows that the American Press, and not the goverrnment, has an agenda which is calling on Washington to wage war on Iran...If it happens, like Iraq and Afghanistan...it will be because the press wanted it and the president was too stupid to see that it was simply an Israeli ploy to force America to engage in another war against another of its enemies. Perhaps there is no difference between America and Israel but this Iran thing clearly displays Israeli Policy versus American Policy. Israel and the Press run by neocons wants war...Obama and America for now want nothing to do with it. But Israel and its puppets in the press keep stirring the pot and calling for war against Iran. Last week, an italian cook was making soup when they announced that this is what Iran is going to do with Israel....No! Just kidding. But this is what is happening in the American media and its black propoganda against Iran. This proves that the US Media is in the hands of the Neocons.

The "US-MEDIA" is not news. It is a corporate power which sells the brand terrorism because it is the most lucrative commodity that has been tested over time to reap obscene profits. Furthermore, it is not in the US, actually. The "Media Giants" are indeed these corporations who are owned by a select number of families and these families are found in the western world and the westernized Asian world. This living off the horror of non-stop sales via technology, is a harvesting of the mind, in essence. A high crime against all humanity and how to sue these miscreants - global citizens they want, then why not global partners in an international law suit against the "news" for covering up the chemicals in our skies and but of course, global terrorism without end.

The Ultra-Rich are running scared that countries like Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Cuba, etc etc are challenging the world domination by the USA, Israel and Western Europe... so, they hope that warmongering / hatemongering / fearmongering will keep them in power... POOR DESPERATE PEOPLE and INDIGENOUS PEOPLE around the world are gradually winning some power, hence, the Genie is out of the bottle... it is only FAIR that the oppressed masses will start seeing sunshine...

I agree, I am a proud American but go to Russia Today to get my news as it is more truth. American Media in my eyes cannot be trusted to tell the entire story. As I have discovered and became thoroughly upset at before.
