Sharyl Attkisson: Media Distorting Facts to Serve World Elites at Levels Never Seen Before
Breitbart ^ | 17 Jun 2016 | Dan Riehl

Posted on 06/17/2016 12:56:06 PM PDT by Resettozero

Sharyl Attkisson talked to Matt Boyle Friday about current events and an extremely disturbing trend. Elites have become adept at controlling media narratives, going so far as to ostracize reporters who “veer” from a particular narrative: “It’s certainly happening here in the United States,” said Attkisson.

Asked if American media appear to be aggressively pushing a particular narrative, specifically gun control in light of the recent terrorism in Orlando, Attkisson said:

I think they’ve been pushing narratives a lot for the last couple of years in a way I haven’t seen five years ago … ten years ago, for sure. It’s almost like someone’s given a license at the top. It used to be done kind of subtly, but now it’s sort of encouraged. It’s almost as if everybody’s on the same page now. I think it’s inappropriate. I think that different views should be represented. It doesn’t have to be 50-50 every time that every story has to be given equal time. But over time, different views should be heard, and we just don’t hear that anymore.

“I just got back from a conference in Russia, of all places, where global journalists gathered to talk about this as a trend globally, where government interests, corporate interests, special interests have learned how to use the news media,”Attkisson said, “how to use social media to control the narrative in ways, I think, more aggressively than has ever been done before.”

As for reporters:

When they veer from the narrative that’s trying to be established by whatever power that exists, they’re controversialized, they’re bullied, they’re driven out of the mainstream. It’s a global trend. Whoever is trying to control the narrative has figured this out. They’re applying similar techniques around the world, and it’s certainly happening here in the United States.

"They have learned to use the media"

Hate to split hairs, but I'd say it's more like almost all journalists are MUCH, MUCH more comfortable making themselves available to BE used.

Correction of part of my reply—missing word.

Approved, licensed robber-socialists (including those in government-approved and connected services) have been subduing the kind of economy that could have supported them and prevented the impending defaults.

Took a few seconds but the word “presstitutes” finally came to mind.

(Had me wondering if that lady of the evening photo were Sharyl Attkisson...for a few seconds.)

This really is the defining issue for the beginning of the 21st century. All of the other issues like terrorism, economics and others cannot be properly managed or understood because of the disinformation and agendas.

I despise 97% of the media.

As she said-—it used to be way more subtle (but with the dumbed down masses, it doesn’t have to be anymore). Now, the masses after several generations of being in our programming, indoctrination centers and children raised in front of programming screens (artificial “life”) away from Reality from cradle to grave....

....they have NO Common Sense-—NO understanding of history——NO Wisdom (ability to discern Good and Evil) ...

....because they have had repeated Lies (Diana West) about EVERYTHING-—lies and misinformation so they literally CANNOT “think”.....it is called “cognitive dissonance” what happens when Truth/God or Facts enter their Mind.

The Mind Control-—controls over half of the population now—all Bernie and Hillary “supporters” who can’t process a coherent thought in their mushy, dehumanized brains.

IMHO the media is a bigger enemy inside America than the RAT Party and Islam. Throw the publik education system right in there with the DBMSM.

Well when we alone have $20T in debt what else can they do? Time is not on their side!

That debt will never be paid back and we all know it. When our currency is trashed it is not going to be pretty and I encourage everyone I talk to that they should not only be storing precious metals but ammo as well. Get ready because there is not going to be anyway of avoiding this unless you exit the country. Question - WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD A GOPEE CONGRESSCRITTER TALK ABOUT THE DEBT?

Without searching for the answer I would say the GOPee stopped all discussion after the Destroyer-In-Chief was crowned for a second term. The RAT party could care less about the debt and in fact encouraged Barry to mint a trillion dollar platinum coin which could wipe out the national debt!!!!

Things were going along so well as long as they could go unnoticed but now the peons are awake and fighting back.

Not realizing the power of the internet to let people educate themselves and then taking it under control while they still could was one of the ruling elite's two missteps on their way to global rule.

Failing to get the American's guns was the second. Either one they could have worked around (they have all the money after all) but now they have a fight on their hands. Gonna be a good one too.

Who are the ruling elite? The families that own the central banks.

Why did Libya have a central bank before Gadhaffi's body cooled?

Where was Hillary when she said "We came, we saw, he died."?

We are owned.

Our govt and large institutions (public and private) have been captured. We (the American people) are allowed a small ownership role but zero control. On the other hand, we are a free people until we say we're not - or they kill us. Interesting times we live in.

A Harvard study claims that Donald Trump has received 67% favorable media coverage. This was reported by Danny Westneat, a dumber-than-dumb columnist for the Seattle Times. Who but an insane person would believe such utter crap?

If one wants to work as a journalist, one follows the narrative. Not to follow the narrative would lead to sure unemployment. One does not do well opposing the wishes of his/her boss(es).

That holds true for other professions all across the employment spectrum and throughout history. For example, Auschwitz guards could not go against the grain and keep their paychecks coming, don't you suppose?

Well said,

The West invented this mechanism of deception, China and old soviet Russia used a club, not so here, its much more subtle and we all get in line to receive it, set our clocks by it, tivo it or whatever its called now, we never miss an episode, where obvious things if left to our own judgement we would correctly discern and reject, but not so when the images tell us all to group-think differently, good is now evil.

TV, MSM using the ‘tower of babel’ internet, Twitter feeds, smartphone alerts and on-demand YouTube news, these are all the equivalent of the images that appear to move and speak and to be alive that John wrote about in the book of Revelation. Consider: how many of us have ever seen that obama creature in person, likely all we’ve ever seen were images, where the creators of these images all call the same tune telling us he is right and just and correct. This authority is empowered by Satan and used for his deception, this ability is something that has never been possible in this prophesied manner in all the 2000 years from John until today,

What is the end goal?

Where is this going?

To cast off the bonds of God and his ownership of this Earth as we’re shown in Psalm 2, to empower what the bible warns of for the last days, that beast government system which will rise up at the time of the end to enthrone Satan,

When this event occurs, the Court shown in Daniel Chapter 7 and in Revelation Chapters 5 thru 7 will go into session to adjudicate,

Many if not most in power serve this beast now today willingly, laying the foundation for a future ‘little horn’ that Daniel was shown would rise up out of 10 kingdoms,

“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7: 21-22

Sharyl is fantastic, my new favorite reporter! I’ve tried to record her Sunday shows, and my local idiot lamestream channel(KEYE 5 Austin-see BS) has destroyed her broadcast on multiple occasions with sports overruns. I think that their FCC license should be denied. I ardently despise network tv.
