The mainstream media's bizarre behavior, most obvious since 9/11, can be explained rationally only one way.

Operation Mockingbird.

Does the CIA influence the media or is it the media? Read the following articles and decide for yourself.

And, a little icing on the cake...

'We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination [read as 'democracy'] practiced in past centuries.'" David Rockefeller, Trilateral Commission.

"A handful of us determine what will be on the evening news broadcasts, or, for that matter, in the New York Times or Washington Post or Wall Street Journal.... Indeed it is a handful of us with this awesome power....And those [news stories] available to us already have been culled and re-culled by persons far outside our control." Walter Cronkite

So the next time you cozy up with the NY Times at the breakfast table, do so with a healthy sense of skepticism. And if you still think you can get fair and balanced news on TV, well then I have this bridge I'd like to sell you.
