of the fundamental objectives of information warfare is to gain
dominance of the information environment, to shape it in such a way
that you control the messages your target audience sees. It also
means pushing messages that undercut an opponent’s advantage wherever
and whenever possible.

We all recognize the definition of propaganda, but Lance Fairchock
is describing the latest media misuse of the public trust. What's
sort of neat, though, is they're getting caught. CBS News was
forced to fire Dan Rather and his supporting cast, and now CNN has overstepped enough that the print media is taking note. Ted Turner's erstwhile cable soapbox had earned sobriquets like
"Commie News Network," and Clinton news Networks," for obvious
reasons. Last week the LA times pinned "Corrupt News Network" on
them. Whatever, CNN's egregious partisanship is tempered
(thank smart viewers) by its minuscule audience.
Here's the part that I like best in Lance's piece, because it pulls together in one tidy space the ignored sins (What? No Peter Paul?)
of Her Filthiness. Sins that, if covered at all, had media-leg
spans measured in minutes. All the alphabet networks are equally
guilty.

Let me list a few issues we
know far too little about, issues the press will not pursue, issues the
Democrats actively suppress, issues that should have enormous impact,
or would be if the public were informed.
▪ Campaign finance corruption and money laundering conducted by
Democrat fundraisers Norman Hsu, Sant Chatwal, Rehman Jinnah, Vinod
Gupta, Samuel Rivera, Charlie Trie, Jimmy Chung and Aaron Tonken. These
gentlemen facilitated the contribution of many millions of dollars to
democrat campaigns and Hillary Clinton, several are the subject of
ongoing investigations, some have been indicted, some have been
convicted of campaign finance fraud, yet there is little curiosity in
the press, no expose, no special reports.
▪ In New York, Chinese cooks, dishwashers, waiters and street
merchants donated $1,000 and $2,000 each to the Clinton campaign,
hundreds of thousands of dollars from workers who live in tenements and
labor for low wages. *snip*
▪ The Clinton propaganda machines MoveOn.org and Media Matters
are funded in large part by infamous America hater George Soros.
MoveOn.org is a political action committee that funnels propaganda and
disinformation supporting Democrat causes. Claiming to be “A non-profit
progressive research and information center,” Media Matters is the
media spin machine for the information war. They spend millions
supporting the Clinton campaign while claiming to be a non-profit media
organization. These sites are full of misrepresentations, smears and
slander. Why haven’t the press investigated the connections to the
Clinton campaign, their funding and their relationship with George
Soros?
▪ Code Pink appears at every high profile Senate hearing, disrupting
the proceedings. Claiming to be “citizens that want to be heard,” they
conduct political intimidation. How do they so consistently gain
access? Why are they permitted to shout down and insult those giving
testimony? After they have finished their theatrics, a command from an
equally theatrical Democrat has them removed. The manipulation is so
blatant it is astounding. In fact, Code Pink’s antics are encouraged by
the Democrat leadership, sometimes even choreographed by them to
embarrass and demean the administration while maintaining the
appearance of propriety. It is another tactic in the information war.
The ever-curious press gives this national embarrassment a pass.
▪ The Clintons regularly intimidate newspaper editors, TV commentators
and publishers when unfavorable information might be forthcoming. Bill
Clinton pressured ABC to alter its 6 hour docudrama "The Path To 9/11"
and Hillary mounted a successful campaign to discredit and suppress
Edward Klein's biography "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When
She Knew It and How Far She'll Go to Become President." Television
appearances by the author received intense Clinton pressure resulting
in cancellations on MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and CNN's
“Paula Zahn Show.” Shows that were interested such as ABC's "Good
Morning America," NBC's "Today" show, and CNN's "Aaron Brown" quietly
withdrew. For the Clintons to have such power over the media is
frightening. Where is the defense of freedom of speech?
▪ The Clinton campaign has been caught feeding softball questions to
audiences for town hall meetings and campaign events. Staffers even
have books with questions for specific demographics such as student,
housewife, male or female, etc. Staffers then stand by the primed
questioner so Hillary knows whom to call on. To appear sincere,
engaged, and concerned she has to stage the public interaction. That
speaks volumes as to what kind of President she would be. I would think
this kind of obvious manipulation would warrant an editorial or two or
a few press conference questions.
