Propaganda watch

[BIAD]

@"BIAD"  Mr. G. here.
Ludicrous is Correct, I could comment but I can't, you understand.  
Sorry.

No problems Mr. G, I understand that for reasons that many can never fully appreciate, layers upon
layers have to be created for what some deem important to the bigger picture.

The reality is that Kennedy's killing had no direct effect on my personal life -that I can fathom, or in a way
that I can see. The road taken by the mighty cousin of the UK may have been better or worse if JFK had
remained alive, but we'll never know now.

I can also understand that certain agencies would use the media to assist in their control. I don't agree with it,
but that doesn't mean I don't grasp the importance. What really grabs my nads is that the ones who are used
to pump out the false narratives and propaganda enjoy leaning on the word 'ethics'.

(I write this with the assumption that the whole of the dominant media aren't totally corrupt!)

Ethics.
That word lies in the area of 'good' conduct and noble integrity. Being ethical encourages self-confidence and
mettle that those who look to you for guidance can rely on. I'd offer that since it isn't the Journalist who pulls
the actual trigger, they should have -at least, the courage to deny assistance in burying the body.

It's easy for me to say that when you lie down with dogs -you get fleas, but when that infection directly effects
close lifestyles, family's safety  and your personal career, then surely the realisation of being sold out should come
home to roost.

The media are not trusted now, just as the CIA weren't back then and any improvement -in regards of the agency,
as been slow -to say the least. But that's the nature of intelligence work and I'd wager it goes with the badge.
Secrecy is not a shade, it's a shadow.

The media however, are seen as a mainstay of correct information and investigative learning to the public.
If you lose that trust, any funding -legal or not, from Government agencies will dry-up if your use as a conduit has
been compromised. Ergo, trust may be seen as a sucker's game, but when you're looking for an extension on the
mortgage-payments, the Bank Manager sees it differently!

By the way, there's no 'hands-off' clause in a CIA contract when it comes to dealing with retired Journalists.
Typewriter or not, you're still 'little people'!

Thanks anyway, Mr. G.
