corporate media rather than the alternative media are routinely involved in distorting the facts and turning realities upside down.
They are the unspoken architects of “Fake News”.
The US and its allies are directly or indirectly involved in several illegal wars: Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen. These acts of military aggression are casually upheld by the mainstream media as “humanitarian wars” under the doctrine of “Responsibility to Protect (R2P).
They are the unspoken architects of “Fake News”.
- They deny Israeli war crimes against Palestinians,
- they fail to mention that the US, Britain, France, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are providing covert support to both Al Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS-Daesh),
- they disregard the fact that two Neo-Nazi parties are part of the Ukrainian government coalition,
- they accuse the Syrian government of killing their own people.

This information war is going global!
Have you noticed that there is a big push from the global corporate media to attack the alternative media all of a sudden, in Europe the bad guy is RT (Russia Today):
The problem is, RT has been doing serious journalism like the mainstream media used to do before they became corporate owned. RT journalists interview people that the corporate media can't or won't touch. It offers contrast to the mainstream media's common talking points which are the same wherever you look.
I'm not surprised that they are gaining influence in Europe, people are getting sick of the corruption here too and the people who watch it aren't dumb, they know that RT is a Russian "propaganda" station, you'll never see any negative news about Putin or Russia.
Just telling the truth about powerful people with something to hide seems to be more effective at increasing Russia's global influence than propaganda in the classic sense, no wonder the powers that be need to stop them.

They probably increased their viewing figures temporarily!
"Parts Unknown" indeed.
What Went Wrong With Trump and the Media
Bottom line:
The business model is pulling in the wrong direction for democracy.
When it comes to news, you get what you pay for, and when the answer to that is "zero," that's also the value of a lot of what you get in your Facebook feed.
^ everyone wants "free news". No one wants to pay. And President Trump is the natural outcome of that.

Indeed, what happened here is the essence of fake news..
Washington Post Disgracefully Promotes a McCarthyite Blacklist From a New, Hidden, and Very Shady Group
The Washington Post should be very proud: it staked a major part of its news story on the unverified, untestable assertions of this laughable organization.
EVEN MORE DISTURBING than the Post’s shoddy journalism in this instance is the broader trend in which any wild conspiracy theory or McCarthyite attack is now permitted in U.S. discourse as long as it involves Russia and Putin – just as was true in the 1950s when stories of how the Russians were poisoning the U.S. water supply or infiltrating American institutions were commonplace. Any anti-Russia story was – and is – instantly vested with credibility, while anyone questioning its veracity or evidentiary basis is subject to attacks on their loyalties or, at best, vilified as “useful idiots.”

Fake news is everywhere these days. Trouble is, major media is so desperate for news they don't even check the source before they run with it. http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/progr...mp-fake-news-is-coming-from-macedonia/8003094
Anyway, the fake news is not the problem. Bullshit and rumour is as old as time. It's the dumbing down of people that is the disturbing part. Doh!
Much of the human race would not know how to cook a meal, grow a tomato, catch a fish or feed itself if there was not someone there to spoon it to them. They watch big brother, survivor and reality shows for their tips ....hahahahahaha
Many people would not recognise the truth these days, even if it was dressed as a pink elephant. Much of the time they prefer the bullshit because it's more, "entertaining" in their boring lives.

There is lucky, and unlucky. I've had both, same as everyone else. Yet there are many who have been very unlucky, and very lucky.
Depends on where you are and how you perceive yourself on the ladder of luck as to how lucky you feel, and what you might be able to do to change it.

Kinda like All Lives Matter is a response to Black Live Matter. The whole point is to disable, disarm and render BLM mute and legitimate news.
it was exposed a while ago. i dont' watch BBC or CNN now.
rubin report, joe rogan (not news, but still non-liberal mainstream views).

Again, you add descriptors and adjectives that make it difficult to discuss things with you.
You say "illegal", but under what specific law? You say they are military "aggression", but if they are "wars" (as you state) then they aren't military "aggressions", but military "engagement".
I am not sure whether you are making a point against the media reclassification, or about some military action(s), or about the war policies.
Maybe you could tone your language to make the message clearer.
