FOX NEWS ALERT

NORTH KOREA MAY FIRE TEST MISSILE WITHIN ONE MONTH CAPABLE OF REACHING THE U.S.

Fuck Fox. Where were they in 2003? In fact, where the fock was any of the news media in the United States?

North Korea has already fired a missile that landed in the United States.

Let me share with you the number of corporations that control the the media (newspapers, magazines, TV, Radio Stations, books, music, movies, videos, wire services, and photo agencies) within the United States today.

Are you ready?

The number is down from 50 (fifty) in 1983 to ........................................


...................

..............................

..........................................

.........................................................5.

In 2004.

Five (5).

5 !!!

No wonder such important news as a North Korean missile hitting the Alaskan coast never made it to viewer's ears. They were too busy being bombarded with the latest 'Fox News Alert' that Iraq was capable of taking out Cleveland with a mushroom cloud (false), had biological weapons trailers manufacturing WMD's (false), and was the most dangerous threat known to friends, family, Apple Pie, and our fortunate son G.W. Bush (hmmmm....maybe).

Our capitalistic system of free trade has failed us. Our Media is not serving our best interests by keeping us misinformed by omission.

A graph generously provided by Link illustrates the failure of the competitive media market as one large corporation devours another and then feeds us what is deemed correct for the time. A consolidation of media outlets encourages homogenization of newsworthy substance not competition, variety of perspective, or contradictory report to consumers. Flip from Fox, to CNN, to MSNBC - the same story is there, the spin is slightly different to attract a different market but the substance - the evidence - the lynchpins of the story remain the same - how curious.

It's simply a fact of everyday living - switch the channels. Compare / contrast, then, between the commercials that loop in between the looping 'news' segments find that common strain in every story and you realize you're not getting the whole story unless or until you consult outside U.S. media including, but not limited to:

the BBC
the London Guardian
the Sydney Morning Herald
Al-Jazeera.net
PrisonPlanet
and hosts of independent alternative media.


You are living in a media bubble.

Here's the skivvy on the N. Korean nuke that hit U.S. soil.

Link

A much fuller and broader article is here which details the complicit U.S. involvement in assisting N. Korea in it's nuclear propagation from the Clinton ('94) to the Bush Era ('03):

Link


Kind JU readers, take care and good night - I'm going to sleep without worries.

Bush&Co. have already declared they won't shoot back - 'cause they know it's all fun and wargames anyway.

Link

Hope they didn't scare you all too badly - like our country's leaders did last time with weapons we supplied to 'the enemy'.

Link

(A younger Donald Rumsfield acts as special envoy of Pres. Reagan, shakes hands and gives Saddam WMDs and millions of taxpayer money in 'aide' - check out the video)

Then go to Resident JU SingrDave's report on the 500 chemical weapons from pre-1991....

Link

Why doesn't the current admin. trumpet the new WMD's found in Iraq? Gee, maybe it's because they all have MADE IN AMERICA stamped on their side.

It's simply a matter of public record.

Nothing more, nothing less.

"Make that evil JEWISH corporate overlords."


With their crack-addled lesser-races as robotic slave warriors.

Little Whip, I would think you'd be the last person to make any jokes regarding race, but I understand you're in a great deal of physical discomfort at the moment so I'll simply address the few points you had without the usual verbal bitch-slap.

I've lost my ass too, laughing it off while reading some of the links you provide as proof of your claims.


One of the articles I linked to (which I believe is the one you are referring to) happened to be posted on Infowars but orginally came from prisonplanet and was written by Paul Joseph Watson - not Paul Jones if that's what you're asserting.

The article's sources included the Korea Times, the South Korean National Assembly, Swissinfo, The BBC, The ABB Company, MSNBC, USinfo.gov, and the State Department.

A lovely swath of diverse and credible sources. The article happened to be placed at infowars which has it's share of loony crap - but you don't see me pushing for the Aryan nations, or tax scams, or whatever seemed interesting enough for you to look at. I've never tried to blame anything on 'Jews' (though I remember you attempting to smear me by calling me antisemitic once simply because I did not believe in the mass-murder of Muslims like you advocated - remember? Do I need to give you the link to your own blog?)

I apologize for reneging on the verbal bitch slap btw, but you bring it on yourself.

The variety of news sources is important and provides a broader view allowing one to see the bigger picture more clearly. That was my main complaint expressed within my article, the N. Korean missile (Missile Def! Think Missile!) story was simply a good launching point.

Bakerstreet. You've tried embarresingly and desperately enough to make me look like some conspiracy kook and have continually attempted to speak for me.

Your post #16 being the latest and lamest attempt. At the heart of the post is this bit of slander from you:

In the name of scepticism, you've totally discarded the need for any proof before you swallow wierd conspiracy theories. You've basically said, "if everyone believes it, I wont" so the most reliable information is immediately discarded. Then you say "Whoever poses alternate information, however unsubstantiated, I'll believe that, since the opposite of the MSM's lies must be the truth".

- Bakerstreet

You are such a concrete individual Bakerstreet. Everything is binary code for you. Anything can boil down to black and white, good or bad, this or that.

Not everyone operates that way Bakerstreet. I don't.

I don't believe as you operate. I don't think "MSM wrong so anything but must be right."

I've contiually attempted to give you the message that looking at many different sources instead of locking oneself only into one or very few creates a distorted and incomplete view.

You are the one who seemingly picks just one or two media outlets to digest then you staunchly defend your analysis of them.

I've asked you twice now for a listing of your regular media sources.

You've failed to disclose and I would venture to guess it is becuase you realize it would only be more ammunition for me.

'nuff said folks

NEXT!

"You've failed to disclose and I would venture to guess it is becuase you realize it would only be more ammunition for me. "


Of course it would, because if I say alternative sources, you'll call me a liar. If I say mainstream sources, you'll call me brainwashed. Why? Because you are a loon. The fact is I have no list of "reliable" sources, because I don't take anything that any of them say as reliable in and of itself. You, on the other hand, believe that the absense of refutation means something is true, which leaves us with a world filled with Santas and Tooth Fairies, Roswell crashes and scary government conspiracies.

Anyone who wants to look at my blog can see where I get information from. Feel free to make yourself a list of my "sources" and post it here, but don't just cherry pick the mainstream ones. It isn't worth my time to spoonfeed the nuts, but I DARE you too. If you don't, it's just because you are afraid it will give me more ammunition. Such is your logic, anyway...

When you list places like prisonplanet and infowars as 'credible sources' it kinda smears the rest, dontcha think? - Lil' Whip

I already answered to that in post #20, lines 4 through 9. Good try resurrecting the dead.

It just goes to show that you're so gullible you'll read and believe anything.

Sure, good try at tar - and - feathering in corroboration with Bakerstreet. Tag-teams rely upon good partners.

I've provided sources, you've offered nothing but slander and name calling. Are you still smarting from the last time?

Or hungry for more?

Bitchslap me all you like, I enjoy that sort of thing, remember?
- Lil' tired Whip

Yes, I do.

I'd say 'touche'' but there is a difference between a masochist and a glutton for punishment. Maybe you would be most prepared to give us the difference in answer. Or is that a ball-gag in your mouth?



And I'll make all the jokes I want about race, m'dear, because I've been on both sides of the track in regards to those sorts of things.
- Lil' Whip

Yeah, I hear you on that.


Of course it would, because if I say alternative sources, you'll call me a liar. If I say mainstream sources, you'll call me brainwashed.
- Bakerstreet

Once again, good stab in the dark, but far from the mark.

I'll explain.

If you'd listed your sources, I'd have commended you for your honesty and the public at large would call it as they see it.

If not, I'd call it as it were - a failure of confidence and / or an admission that you also seek as many diverse sources as I do - squarely placing us in the same boat corresponding with my point within the article - a diverse selection of sources grants one the advantage in understanding the broader and more correct picture.

The end.

Guess which option you picked?

Wanna' try again?

"...you are a loon." - Bakerstreet

That remark is on par with LW's claim I'm somehow anti-semitic. Baseless name-calling when one doesn't agree and has nothing else with which to attack the opponent is desperation to a tee. I'm just the messenger, if you don't like the message - take it up with the source(s) to which I defer.

I understand you're having trouble with that. Seeing as to how some of those sources include at least three different nations; America, S.Korea, Japan; several independent media outlets, one American Energy Corporation and even freakin' MSNBC - hardly fringe media but hey, you can simply right them off as 'liberal media'... - the list goes on.

As I mentioned, I don't think anyone is given the full picture via these outlets - and that is why one must vigilantely consult many different sources as I've mentioned for the nth time.

"...you are a loon." - Bakerstreet

yes, I re-quoted you. It's such a wonderful prompt.

I wanted to remind you that you have spent ten posts on this 'loon' in this thread alone.
Who is crazier, the alleged madman or the one that argues with him?

Not that you've done much actual arguing.



It isn't worth my time to spoonfeed the nuts, but I DARE you too.
- bakerstreet

Do you Double-Dog dare me, bakerstreet? yeah, you're lower-case, now.
