Contempt For The Media
By Former Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson
August 8, 2012

Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale, “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” tells the story of two charlatans who persuade the emperor to let them weave beautiful new garments for him. In reality, the charlatans are weaving nothing. They are only pretending as they perpetrate a huge hoax on the emperor and his court. Anyone who could not see the lovely cloth, said the charlatans, was stupid. Not wishing to be thought stupid, the emperor and his court all persuade themselves that they see the clothes. They went along with what they were told by the charlatans.
Today, a perfect equivalent to the fairy-tale charlatans exists in the reporters for the mainstream media. Today’s media charlatans weave beautiful but false tales and mock anyone who doesn’t accept their latest hoax. Lacking the time and resources to dig deeper, or merely lacking discernment, many members of the public, not wishing to be thought stupid, accept what they are told by the media charlatans. It doesn’t matter whether the whopper du jour is that the emperor has new clothes or that the current media message is false, a lie is still a lie.
When candidate Obama was found to have associated with domestic terrorist Bill Ayres, the media pretended it wasn’t so. Not wishing to appear stupid, the public accepted the denials.
When discrepancies appeared in Obama’s birth record, the media denied it and demonized anyone who pursued the story. Not wishing to appear stupid, Congress accepted the media story, and refused to investigate.
And so it goes, the media pushing one lie after another. The mother of all media lies, of course, is 9/11. On that grim day, millions of Americans watched the World Trade Center collapse straight down into its own footprint. The collapse demonstrated 14 perfect characteristics of a controlled demolition. Some viewers recognized it as such as they watched the buildings disintegrate into clouds of explosive dust on live television. Some mainstream media reporters, such as Dan Rather, also noticed the similarities to controlled demolition, and they spontaneously reported it that way as the drama unfolded on September 11th.
But eventually the media masters spun a different story. According to the media, the World Trade Center Towers all collapsed as a result of fires. This despite the fact that steel skyscrapers don’t collapse from fire. Never have, never will. Congress and many members of the public, however, not wishing to appear stupid, accepted the official media story.
But wait! Hundreds of REAL experts (architects, engineers, physicists, and other scientists) then stepped forward to study the evidence at the building site and concluded that the World Trade Center buildings, including Building 7, did indeed come down as a result of controlled demolition. The real experts found that real explosives had been placed in the buildings to cause them to collapse into a neat pile, in the same manner as buildings that are demolished by wrecking crews. These real experts reported their real forensic and eye-witness evidence. The media charlatans ignored them, however, and stuck to the hoax. And many Americans, not wishing to be thought stupid, accepted the media lie.
Style without substance. Talent without truth. Skill without integrity. Today’s news is filled with lies … and with sex, Hollywood trash, buffoonery, and adolescent nonsense. But the corruption goes beyond the newsrooms and editorial desks. It pervades the entire broad spectrum of the mainstream media, including the entertainment media, as well. Whether you seek to relax with music, television, sports, or movies, you cannot escape the lies cultivated by every branch of today’s media.

The so called main stream media is complicit in TREASON!
Leading the lamb to the slaughter, the Lamestream media is worse than complicit, their blatant accomplices to High Treason and the only fitting punishment is death by a public hanging.
Agree re MSM is FILTHY
BUT
“real experts found that real explosives had been placed in the buildings to cause them to collapse into a neat pile”
is BS. WHERE ARE THE DEBRIS from the WTC buildings? Something ELSE happened that many of us missed…
check out Judy D. Wood, Ph.D. – drjudywood.com
Judy D. Wood, Ph.D. – drjudywood.com
Basic Physics laws prove that Judy D. Wood, Ph.D. – drjudywood.com
is 100% an idiot period, having a Ph.D. after your name doesn’t prove your intelligent or know Physics, if she and I were to meet I would prove beyond any doubt that what she’s claims is impossible, prove it, I can prove beyond any doubt that what she claims is incorrect, the 9/11 buildings have been proven beyond any doubt to have been blown to pieces from the top to bottom with CAD engineering using RF radio computer controlled detonation blasting caps using Military grade Nano-Thermite gel “paint” explosive made only in America by our military. So my assessment of Judy Wood is she’s a dumbass.
