Why won’t the world, and Americans in particular, believe and rally around the NeoCon packaged media fable about Evil Russians being The New Nazis?
Paul Craig Roberts explains :
The many years of lies–9/11, Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, al Qaeda connections, yellowcake, anthrax attack, Iranian nukes, “the United States doesn’t torture,” the bombings of weddings, funerals, and children’s soccer games, Abu Ghraib, renditions, Guantanamo, various fabricated “terrorist plots,” the determined assault on civil liberties–have taken their toll on American credibility.
No one outside America any longer believes the US media or the US government.
BushCo. didn’t destroy the credibility of the supposedly once great and influential mainstream American media institutions on their own. The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, NBC Nightly News, let themselves be utterly compromised, used as propagandists for war, running trash as news and lies as truth.
Now the media news titans pay the price for their betrayal of their readers and viewers, in plunging circulations, audiences, and credibility, as we expected they eventually would.
