REPORT: Broadcast News Networks Misrepresent Intelligence On Iranian Nuclear Issues!
- The western MSM is largely Illuminist owned/controlled. Their job is to sell wars, push the Illuminist agenda, brainwash the sheeple, propaganda …etc. To be effective in selling lies, you cannot promote lies 100% of the time. Effective propaganda is by selling a few lies in many truths. When the MSM is caught, they feign remorse and incompetence. Then, they repeat the steps, continue the propaganda all over again. Another method is to tell the truth once but sell the lies 10x for every time the truth is told. The sheeple are easily deceived. Subtlety and deception are the methods!

REPORT: Broadcast News Networks Misrepresent Intelligence On Iranian Nuclear Issues!
by Rob Savillo, http://mediamatters.org/
Many in the media have long since repudiated their failures in the lead-up to the Iraq War, acknowledging that they were too quick to accept the false notion that Iraq possessed a sizable and dangerous cache of weapons of mass destruction. The question today is whether they have learned from those mistakes.

The media’s self-reflection began as early as May of 2004, little more than a year after the conflict began, when The New York Times editorial board reflected on the paper’s coverage of the war and stated that they “found a number of instances of coverage that was not as rigorous as it should have been.” Top editors at the Times and The Washington Post subsequently acknowledged they had failed to push for front-page articles on “the flimsiness of the intelligence on W.M.D.” The media’s poor coverage has been noted by the Post‘s Walter Pincus, CNN’s Howard Kurtz, CBS’ Katie Couric, and many more.

But fast forward to today, and the media’s coverage of Iran’s nuclear program suggests that some outlets have not learned from Iraq reporting failures and risk repeating history. Media Matters reviewed transcripts of ABC’s World News, CBS’ Evening News, and NBC’s Nightly News between November 8, 2011 and March 31, 2012. The examination reveals that once again the media is frequently misrepresenting the expert opinion of the intelligence community.

Two egregious misrepresentations in particular repeatedly came up in news reports on the Iranian nuclear program: suggesting that Iran will imminently obtain the bomb and suggesting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has major influence over the country’s nuclear program.

“Iran doesn’t frighten me and I don’t think it should frighten the American people. They don’t have a bomb. They haven’t made a decision to build one. They don’t have the means to deliver one. And the Israelis have 300 atomic bombs! I mean who presents the existential threat to whom?” – Pat Buchanan (7:58 onwards)
