When "your side" is losing, suppress information, when your side is winning, play it up.

Note to media. ISIS is the enemy, got it? Start acting like it and stop spreading their propaganda and not spreading the message of the Iraqi and Kurd ground troops killing them and being killed by the thousands. Report on the fact ten times more non-Muslims have been killed by ISIS than on-Muslims.
Report on the fact ISIS will be destroyed by.....other Muslims.

Not fitting the agenda, is it?

Equally shocking is the wall to wall coversge of ISIS while ignoring all the serious domestic issues -other than snowstorms and road rage.

Hello? Homeland security defunding by Republicans! Do you really not see the connection to thenTerrorVision reporting on ISIS and all things fearful?

The American media is more than unreliable, they are untrustworthy, they are embracing fully a war and xenophobic agenda.

You lose trust, you lose it all and I guess you have to turn to a Fear Agenda.

"If it bleeds, it leads" mantra is not just for local news anymore.

For example CNN in any given one hour:

ISIS in Iraq
Snowstorm
ISIS in Libya
Road rage
ISIS in Europe
Murder trial
ISIS in America?

It is not media or news anymore, it is a highly privileged, obscenely wealthy, handful of owners with religious and personal axes to grind and a megaphone shoved in our ears.

I wish someone would give Obama his own news channel, who else around do you see as more trustworthy?
