MSM Promotes Yet Another CIA Press Release As News

preview

likes The Washington Post, whose sole owner , has published yet another anonymously sourced CIA press release disguised as a news report which just so happens to facilitate longstanding CIA foreign policy.In an article titled ““, WaPo’s Josh Rogin describes what was told to him by unnamed sources about the contents of a “secret” CIA document which alleges that Vladimir Putin is “probably” overseeing an interference operation in America’s presidential election., at no point does WaPo follow standard journalistic protocol and disclose its blatant financial conflict of interest with the CIA when promoting an unproven CIA narrative which happens to serve the consent-manufacturing agendas of the CIA for its new cold war with Russia.And somehow in our crazy, propaganda-addled society, this is accepted as “news”..⁦⁩: “Secret CIA assessment: Putin ‘probably directing’ influence operation to denigrate Biden” – The Washington Post — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) The CIA has had a hard-on for the collapse of the Russian Federation , and preventing the rise of another multipolar world at all cost has been &nbsp;of US imperialism since the fall of the Soviet Union. Indeed it is clear that the against Russia were in fact of 2016, and it is only by propaganda narratives like this one that consent has been manufactured for a new cold war which imperils the life of every organism on this planet.There is no excuse for a prominent news outlet publishing a CIA press release disguised as news in facilitation of these CIA agendas. It is still more inexcusable to merely publish anonymous assertions about the contents of that CIA press release. It is especially inexcusable to publish anonymous assertions about a CIA press release which merely says that something is “probably” happening, meaning those making the claim don’t even know.None of this stopped The Washington Post from publishing this propaganda piece on behalf of the CIA. None of it stopped this story from being widely shared by prominent voices on social media and repeated by major news outlets like&nbsp;, , and . And none of it stopped all the usual liberal influencers from taking the claims and exaggerating the certainty:America is so screwed up right now that the CIA has determined that Putin is directing efforts to interfere in the 2020 election against Biden, and a collective shoulder-shrug is all we can muster. ¯_(ツ)_/¯— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) The CIA-to-pundit pipeline, wherein intelligence agencies “leak” information that is picked up by news agencies and then wildly exaggerated by popular influencers, has always been an important part of manufacturing establishment Russia hysteria. We saw it recently when the that Russia paid bounties on US troops to Taliban-linked fighters in Afghanistan first surfaced; were published by mass media news outlets, then by the time it it was being treated not as an unconfirmed analysis but as an established fact: — Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) If you’ve ever wondered how rank-and-file members of the public can be so certain of completely unproven intelligence claims, the CIA-to-pundit pipeline is a big part of it. The most influential voices who political partisans actually hear things from are often a few clicks removed from the news report they’re talking about, and by the time it gets to them it’s being waved around like a rock-solid truth when at the beginning it was just presented as a tenuous speculation (the original aforementioned WaPo report appeared on the opinion page).The CIA has a of infiltrating and manipulating the mass media for propaganda purposes, and to this day the largest supplier of leaked information from the Central Intelligence Agency to the news media is the CIA itself. They have a for leaking information to reporters they like (with that asks whether the information leaked is Accurate, Partially Accurate, or Inaccurate), as was which found that the CIA can even leak documents to select journalists while refusing to release them to others via Freedom of Information Act requests.While we're not saying that the deliberately leaks inaccurate information to the press, we will that there's a specific form they have to fill out when they do so. — MuckRock (@MuckRock) A&nbsp;,&nbsp;,&nbsp;,&nbsp;,&nbsp;,&nbsp;,&nbsp;&nbsp;spook agency with an extensive history of and &nbsp;that selectively gives information to news reporters with whom it has a good relationship is never doing so for noble reasons. It is doing so for the same rapacious power-grabbing reasons it does all the other evil things it does.The way mainstream media has become means that all the manipulators need to do to advance a given narrative is set it up to make one side look bad and then share it with a news outlet from the other side. The way media is set up to masturbate people’s confirmation bias instead of report objective facts will then cause the narrative to go viral throughout that partisan faction, regardless of how true or false it might be.US Intelligence: If Trump Wins Russia Did It, If Biden Wins It Was China And Iran"Lastly, the dumbest thing about believing foreign nations are interfering in American democracy is believing America has any democracy to interfere with."— Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ (@caitoz) The coming US election and its aftermath is looking like it will be even more insane and hysterical than the last one, and the enmity and outrage it creates will give manipulators every opportunity to slide favorable narratives into the slipstream of people’s hot-headed abandonment of their own critical faculties.And indeed they are clearly prepared to do exactly that. An which was uncritically passed along by the most prominent US media outlets reported that China and Iran are trying to help Biden win the November election while Russia is trying to help Trump. So no matter which way these things go the US intelligence cartel will be able to surf its own consent-manufacturing foreign policy agendas upon the tide of outrage which ensues.The propaganda machine is only getting louder and more aggressive. We’re being prepped for something._________________________Thanks for reading!
