MSM JOURNALISM OR PROPAGANDA?

This chick keeps being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Does journalism actually exist anymore or is it just propaganda and lies?

Don’t these people realize if their leaders would stop shooting rockets into Israel the Jews would stop bombing the Hell out of them. The Palestinian leadership wants civilians getting hurt and bloodied up for the media. They want the world to see them as victims when in truth it’s their own fault this happening.I am not a fan of Israel but if the Palestinians would stop the rockets attacks the Jews would stop the bombing.Very simple.

Cost cutting.

Why employ photographers or buy photos when you can simply dust off file copies and slap a new date and headline on them?

We fast approach a point where the technology exists to create credible video from scratch.

Who can doubt that the narrative will define the script, the script will dictate the video screenplay, and the news will be explicitly whatever the channel owners deem “knowable?”

How long before “evidence” of some disgusting, socially repugnant behavior like trading child porn is simply inserted onto a person’s phone or onto their iCloud account as a foolproof means of disposing of those who don’t accept the programming? Undoubtedly the NSA already has this ability.

Ten years from now self preservation may mean unplugging from the panopticon.

Anybody heard of the Swatting Game? I didn’t until yesterday (on Al Jezeera).

————–

Last month an American gamer accidentally filmed himself being arrested by a highly trained SWAT team. His crime? He was the victim of an online prank called ‘swatting’.

‘Swatting’ has been around for a while. In 2008 the FBI identified the phenomenon, warning people against making these kinds of calls, originating from the pre-internet days of prank calling.

An anonymous individual rings the local police force, describing a credible threat or situation (often involving hostages) bringing a SWAT team to a chosen location and giving the prank it’s particular name.

It has been given a 21st-century twist by many of the ‘swat’ calls coming from online gamers, who watch the reactions of their victims in real time, via live streaming software.

Recently, cases such as Jordan Mathewson, an online gamer with over 200,000 Twitter followers, who filmed himself being ‘swatted’ have brought the craze to national attention in America.

Only two days ago the Dolen family in Bradenton, Florida, were targeted by an anonymous gamer.

Mike Dolen was playing an online game of Minecraft when a police team arrived at his house after they received a call, claiming to be from his daughter, saying he had shot his wife with a machine gun.

The prank was resolved peacefully, but Mr Dolen spoke to local news stations about how he could have been killed.

I’ve noticed that on Tuesday’s you are particularly stoopid.

Don’t you realize that if da Joos stopped treating Gaza as a literal open-air prison camp, then maybe da mooslims would stop firing rockets?

GOOD journalism …

—————————

“We are currently witnessing an epic and historic event. The Ukrainian regular army and the punitive battalions are suffering a catastrophic defeat to the south of Donetsk…..It still is not quite clear how the Junta intends to avoid a complete defeat here…. By squandering the most combat-capable brigades in systematic offensive operations, the Junta sustained enormous losses and at the same time suffered a crushing, purely military defeat. The southern front has collapsed.”

– The Southern Front Catastrophe – August 27, 2014″, Colonel Cassad, Military Briefing, Novorossiya, Ukraine

Donetsk and Lugansk have formed militias and taken the war to the enemy. They’ve engaged Obama’s proxy-army on the battlefield and pounded it into mincemeat.

That’s why Obama deployed his propagandists to lie about the fictitious “Russian invasion”. The administration needs a diversion because the Novorussia forces (aka-the “pro Russia separatists”) are kicking the holy crap out of Obama’s legions. That’s why Washington and Kiev are in full panic-mode, because none of this was supposed to happen. Obama figured the army would put down the insurrection, crush the resistance, and move him one step closer to his goal of establishing NATO bases and missile defense systems on Russia’s western flank.

Well, guess what? It’s not playing out that way and it probably never will. The Novorussia fighters are too tough, too smart and too motivated to be one-upped by Obama’s feckless troopers.

Putin hasn’t sent tanks and artillery into Ukraine. He doesn’t need to. The militias are loaded with battle-hardened veterans who know how to fight and who are quite good at it. Just ask Poroshenko whose army has been taking it in the shorts for the last couple of weeks.

“There are three million Jews. There are 200 million Arabs. Is the distinguished delegate from Egypt trying to say we surrounded them?” — Abba Eban, live from the UN, 1967.

The difference between an Israeli tank and an Arab tank is that the Arab tank has three speeds in reverse. 🙂

GAYLE — hope you read this

I made the Salty Lime pie this weekend.

Everyone absolutely loved it. It is now my 3rd favorite pie … that’s quite an honor (1st is my Lemon Meringue, 2nd is the Amish Apple Pie).

I ran into two “problems”.

1. I have no idea how just two cubes of butter is sufficient to form a dough-like consistency with 1 1/2 sleeves of Saltine crackers. No. Idea. I used a little over a stick of butter … made it just that much tastier (I added some salt to the butter as an adjustment.)

2. I only had one can of sweetened condensed milk, and it was late at night and I didn’t feel like driving to the store. But, I had coconut milk, sugar, butter, and xanthan gum …. so, made some! I put the lime in the coconut, with apologies to Nielson. Took 3 cups of coconut milk and cooked it down to 3/4 cup, and it worked wonderfully.

The pie was gone in one day. Everyone here in NJ just l-u-u-u-ves you.

The difference between an Israeli tank and an American tank is that da Joos didn’t pay for either one. YOU did …. sucker.

Well, well, well ……….. well ………. harummph!

Look like the USA!USA!USA is sending 1,000 troops to Ukraine …. for an exercise, heh, heh

==========

“While only ‘humanitarian adviser’ boots on the ground are present in Iraq (and Syria), Reuters reports that preparations are under way near Ukraine’s western border for a joint military exercise this month with more than 1,000 troops from the United States and its allies. As Obama told reporters last week, “that a military solution to this problem is not going to be forthcoming,” it seems a little odd ‘strategically’ to go ahead with the Rapid Trident exercise Sept. 16-26 as a sign of the commitment of NATO states to support non-NATO member Ukraine, entailing the first significant deployment of U.S. and other personnel to Ukraine since the crisis erupted.”

Also, the star was photo-shopped into the photo. Notice the ultra black clothes merging with background folks? Speed job to not have to try to photo-shop in clothes. This gal was NEVER in any place I suspect. Probably some gal at a studio in NYC.

Also, the boy’s arm contour is not smooth. LOL. And the “smudge” tool was used on the contour with the left over the white shirt. Also, if she were real, her head would be 25% to 75% larger than the other people in the photo (not including gma – who was probably also photoshopped into the photo). Would be very interesting to do a Google image reverse search on this. I wonder if the image reverse search can find photo-shopped parts of a photo?
