All three mainstream news networks are little more than shameless parrots for White House propaganda
by J. D. Heyes, Natural News:
Most Americans know that the three major broadcast networks – ABC, CBS, and NBC – are well-oiled echo chambers and propaganda arms of the current White House regime, but more are likely to become convinced by this latest example of what I like to call “talking points reporting.”
You may have heard that the U.S. economy is in trouble. In fact, it is continuing to flounder under the policies of Barack Obama (no, it is no longer the “Bush economy”), a fact reflected by the still-anemic job growth (only 88,000 new jobs were created in March, while 495,000 Americans simply dropped out of the workforce completely) [http://www.foxnews.com].
‘Solidarity‘
In response to this, our chivalrous president, claiming “solidarity” with struggling workers, announced April 3 that he would take a 5 percent pay cut. While we can debate the impact of that cut – the president lives, eats and travels and the expense of the U.S. taxpayer – the real “story” here is how the three major broadcast networks framed the announcement.
