Why There Is So Much Pro-War Reporting There are five reasons that the mainstream media and the largest alternative media websites are both pro-war. 1. Self-Censorship by Journalists Initially, there is tremendous self-censorship by journalists. A survey by the Pew Research Center and the Columbia Journalism Review in 2000 found: Self-censorship is commonplace in the news media today …. About one-quarter of the local and national journalists say they have purposely avoided newsworthy stories, while nearly as [...] STOCKS FALL, OIL TANKS, GOLD GETS CRUSHED: Here’s What You Need To Know Things got ugly.
First the scoreboard: Dow: 13,927, -108.1 pts, -0.7 percent And now the top stories: There was a hodge-podge of news today, and for the most part it was negative. A homeless, hatchet-wielding hitchhiker named Kai is being hailed as a hero after saving a woman from the clutches of a bear-hugging racist who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. The story goes like this: After ramming his car into a black Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) worker in West Fresno and pinning him to his utility truck, an unidentified man attempted to make things much worse by exiting [...] In response to the news today that the economy contracted -.1 percent in the final quarter of last year, Democrats are touting the claim that this is “the best-looking contraction in U.S. GDP you’ll ever see.” The claim was originally made by chief U.S. economist for Capital Economics Paul Ashworth. “The drag from defense spending and inventories is a one-off. The rest of the report is all encouraging,” Ashworth also claimed. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/dems-tout-claim-best-looking-contraction-us-gdp-youll-ever-see_698863.html It’s what we expect as shoppers—what’s in the food will be displayed on the label.

Fox News president Roger Ailes explained the timing of the shutdown, which will be the first in the history of the network: “We wanted to pick a time when we were positive nothing would be happening that our viewers would want to see.” Read more: http://www.newyorker.com/…/fox-news-to-shut-down-for-routine-maintenance-monday-morning-at-1130.html#ixzz2IUiS1Q9z They are shutting [...] (NaturalNews) The reports are absolutely true. Facebook suspended the Natural News account earlier today after we posted an historical quote from Mohandas Gandhi. The quote reads: “Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” - Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446. This historical quote was apparently too much for Facebook’s censors to bear. They suspended our account [...] Apple sold 5 million iPhone 5s over the opening weekend, the company announced this morning.
This is well below what Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster was calling for. He predicted 6-10 million for the opening weekend. In fact, Munster called 6 million a “worst case screnario.” So, this is worse than a worst case scenario. The stock is down 2% in pre-market trading. Last year Apple sold 4 million iPhone 4Ss during the opening weekend. The iPhone 5 was a major redesign, and lines [...] From King World News: Today, Tom Fitzpatrick spoke with King World News about the recent move in both gold and silver.

They are, intellectually, completely dishonest or incompetent, and that’s all they know.” Faber, who is author of the [...] From King World News: Today, Rick Rule spoke with King World News about spectacular home runs some investors have been hitting in the gold, silver, and crude oil markets. Rule, who is now part of Sprott Asset Management, also predicted, “… gold and silver prices will trade higher in the six to 12 month time frame.” But first, here is what Rule had to say regarding QE and the inflation/deflation debate: “A [...] BREAKING NEWS TODAY Big drop in Chinese exports growth, fueling more problems to an already battered world economy. We are totally screwed if this worsens. Recovery sluggish at best, if there even is one. Article below… China’s export growth collapsed and imports and new yuan loans trailed estimates in July, adding to signs the global economy is weakening and raising the odds the government will step up measures to support expansion.

This news is going to be everywhere today, but it’s solidly in the topics I care about (and you readers care about — at least I think you do), so I’m going to cover it regardless. The magazine Consumer Reports is publishing a report and poll on U.S. consumers’ attitudes toward the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture. From everyone’s reactions when I write about this, I thought people cared about this issue, but [...] KWN On the heels of a significant rally in stocks, along with gains in gold, silver and oil, today King World News interviewed acclaimed money manager Stephen Leeb, Chairman & Chief Investment Officer of Leeb Capital Management.

All the GOP candidates have pledged to repeal the law. “I suspect [...] A Response from Goldman Sachs From Chairman Lloyd Blankfein NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – The following letter to Goldman Sachs’ worldwide clients was issued today by Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein: Dear Goldman Client: By now, many of you have probably read the regrettable resignation letter published in today’s New York Times by former Goldman executive Greg Smith, explaining why he is leaving the firm after twelve years. In the letter, in which he [...] March 12, 2012, at 6:32 pm Dear CIGAs, The way to handle a crisis is simple: Lie about the details and size. I spent the day in NYC at meeting on corporate affairs.
