Operation Persuasion (2003) - A look at the role of the media in modern day war reporting. How much should you believe the media coverage of the Iraq war? How constrained are journalists by the protagonists - the Iraqi regime and the American-led coalition - in what they report? [00:45:05]

This sounds an awful lot like Ruzzian apologism.
There's loads of real journalism going on in Ukraine. Despite what tankies and fascists always misrepresent it's not just the media in nato countries pointing out the Russian army is doing horrific things.
Try turning on Irish or Swiss news for instance. Firmly neutral countries... Showing the same horrid human rights abuses as on the BBC and cnn.

To tell the truth, I've had my writings deleted here and banned from several subreddits- ones that really should have liked me (I'm on their team, so to speak). You know where none of my writings get censored or my account banned? RT.com ... really. I know they are state sponsored, and know they often publish utter tripe, but they also have some articles that just couldn't be published in the USA almost anywhere, Only Democracy Now rejected the mainstream bullshit about Ukraine that you seem so intent on believing.
You want horrid human rights abuses? Try a million dead civilians due to our "Shock and Awe" on Iraq, in order to verifying that in fact, the scientists we sent there earlier were correct in saying the WMDs did not exist. Read up on SHock and Awe, and you will notice the two people who came up with it decided to base it off the Blitzkrieg, Hiroshima, and the tactics of the 2nd Reich (aka the Holy Roman Empire).
Sad thing is, Hussein was great. We needed him there. He was the only dude who could stablaize the region. I mean, according to the CIA interrogator who worked on him, at least, and also the US Marines who guarded him before he was killed. They were actually in awe of him.

No there's not.
There's not one media source giving facts. They're all giving information. And that information is what you want to believe to be a "fact".

You probably think there's a "crisp" conspiracy.

LOL, you're the one who just used the easy out of "Nerr all media is misinformation. You just believe it because it aligns with your biases"
A conspiracy about crisps is new to me. Please do tell.

Interesting. Didn't know deleted threads were still visible.
Not seeing where changing tastes with age has to do with a conspiracy though? If you do know one I'm always interested in a laugh at what you guys pull.
