` A British parliamentary inquiry into the Libyan fiasco has reported what should have been apparent from the start in 2011 and was to some of us that the Wests military intervention to protect civilians in Benghazi was a cover for what became another disastrous regime change operation. The report from the U.K.s Foreign Affairs Committee confirms that the U.S. and other Western governments exaggerated the human rights threat posed by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and then quickly morphed the humanitarian mission into a military invasion that overthrew and killed Gaddafi, leaving behind political and social chaos.The reports significance is that it shows how little was learned from the Iraq War fiasco in which George W. Bushs administration hyped and falsified intelligence to justify invading Iraq and killing its leader, Saddam Hussein. In both cases, U.K. leaders tagged along and the Wests mainstream news media mostly served as unprofessional propaganda conduits, not as diligent watchdogs for the public. Today, we are seeing an even more dangerous repetition of this pattern: demonizing Russian President Vladimir Putin, destabilizing the Russian economy and pressing for regime change in Moscow. Amid the latest propaganda orgy against Putin, virtually no one in the mainstream is exercising any restraint or finding any cautionary lessons from the Iraqi and Libyan examples. - Source` [HR][/HR] ` Yes, Americans have been dumbed down. Worse, we've become sheeples to ideology to a point of blindness. Too many people still get all their news from the corporations which control TV/cable programming and have become absolutely incapable of thinking outside the boxes they have surrounded themselves in. We've easily spend over 7 trillion dollars in the Middle East, spreading war, hate, death, and suffering so the military industries make big profits. None of this has accomplished a thing. The US media is now beating the war drums against Russia. That is not only just morally wrong, it is without a doubt, evil.
It very well is noticeable from outside, from abroad. Many Americans are firmly sure that, for example, the Russian media in everything lie, American or European — say only the truth. Actually all media lie in a varying degree. And all of them submit information only one party to provide the necessary effect. As one modern Russian SF-writer (Sergey Lukyanenko) has told: "In the world there is a so lot of [various] truth that the need for a lie doesn't make sense at all".
` Is the Russian media pounding the war drums against the US? Anyways, the Russian media isn't the topic here....it's the US push for war, that is....a war that is not needed nor wanted.
No. In the Russian media there are no appeals to war against anybody at all. I have just specified that no whose media (well, except any Islamic fundametalist and to that similar) in this sense essentially from each other differ.
` That we can agree with however, nationalism isn't really behind the media push for war here, corporate profits are. ` ` ` `
