So if this is indeed true then how do we get this information out to the masses? CNN isn't going to come right out and say they lied. And I seriously doubt any other MSM will do the same or tell on CNN. Because all the MSM I watched here in the states during this conflict were saying pretty much the same thing. So what do we do about this is we can do anything at all?


Well, if we had some people willing here on ATS we could create a flyer (17"x11") that told the truth, the whole story and the ATS comunity could post them on lightpoles, electric poles, the side of walls ect.

Of course we'd have to have an eye catching headline so people would actually stop and look.

What'd say? I think ATS should have a street team.

Of course we'd have to make sure that what we're posting isn't the really really fringe stuff (Reptillians, 2012, that sorta thing).

Actually, we should create said poster, but instead of giving the whole story, or what we know/think/believe, we could actually give a little bit of info to wet the pallet and have a link printed on the poster, to the topic here on ATS.

Skeptic Overlord, what do you think of this? I think if we had a section dedicated to this on the forum, we could have a moderator pick and choose which topic ahould be printed, then I or some other CG artist could create an eye catching poster to advertise the subject and create a pdf, one for 17" x 11" and one for 11" x 8 1/2". Then the poeple who are signed up on the ATS street team could be emailed the pdfs and they could post them around there own town.

What do you think?

This isn't the first time we've had trouble with CNN or other MSM outlets lying through their teeth, and not the first time on the Georgia conflict.

Take a look at this example which catches them trying to say the City of Gori was in ruins, again, trying to vilify Russia, when in fact it was, and still is, NOT.

CNN LIES AGAIN: "Gori in ruins"? You decide! (made by RussiaToday channel)

Russia's ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin has dismissed media reports that the Georgian city of Gori is "in ruins." He called the allegations a "disinformation campaign" and pointed to the fact that Russian peacekeepers have in fact performed a humanitarian mission there.



Take a look at what CNN did to Michael Moore:

Michael Moore calls out CNN and Wolf Blitzer for the lying scum that they are.



CNN lied about Chinese reporting on the disruption of the Olympic Torch Relay:

BBC and a lot of western media keep lying by saying Chinese news does not report disruption in torch relay. I heard this line repeated several times in BBC and some Canadian news network. CNN claim "Chinese are unaware of what is happening". They could have said China is putting a positive light or twist but no, they said it is NOT reporting so Chinese are ignorant and have no idea what is going on.

This video shows an actual Chinese news reporting both side. The worse you can accuse them of is putting positive spin.



I've even had my run ins with the media conspiracy in my own reporting here on ATS:

Where is Ron Paul?

So wake up the sheeple one lamb's leg at a time.

Last time I checked, those burning heaps of metal were Georgian tanks that were hit with Russian missiles in the capital of South Ossetia.

You lose, action guy.

So thats CNN and the Photo's from AP

more spin than the Iraq second invasion......

You might find this helpful on there is the fake photos, Georgia*Russia*Poland Missile Defense Shield ATS Thread!

I will update with this thread

Is there not any Law in the US against News/Factual sources, from purposefully misleading?


Are any other of the media outlets jumping on it?

Kind Regards,

To put it simply, no; there is no law requiring news broadcasts to be truthful. The question became public during a whistle-blower case in Florida. Fox news was vindicated in that there is no liability for broadcasting a lie, knowingly, because the media has no obligation to present facts.

This departure from the journalism seems to manifest itself more blatantly and more frequently ever since the FCC allowed media ownership consolidation and eliminated the Fairness Doctrine.

What more can we say?

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.


Indeed, what he said.

FOX news successfully defended their right to lie in a court of law. The judgment against them was overturned on appeal, I believe. So, the precedent that exists protects news organizations from being held accountable for lying to their viewers. They could run a story about an alien invasion, with fake video and all the bells and whistles, and even if it was found to be 100% demonstrably false, they would not be liable...

Their argument was that they provide entertainment, and are under no obligation to present factual news.

I'm disgusted with the state of television news in this country. So disgusted, in fact, I haven't tuned in to the news in years. I refuse to give their dog and pony show my support via ratings.

For anyone who is paying attention, this Russia/Georgia debacle is the most blatant example of false news and organized propaganda we've ever seen. It is, without a doubt, the largest media manipulation in recent memory. I read A LOT of news, and I'm astounded to see all the media outlets in lock-step on this issue. Russia=Bad, Georgia=Good, as if it was all so simple you could explain it with stick figure drawings.

It's disgusting, and shameful.

You want to know what shames us even more than the deplorable state of our news? The way people eat it up like it was coated in chocolate. It's revolting.

People deserve exactly what they get, if they're too lazy, stupid, and blind to see/smell such an enormous pile of bull#, even when it's thrown right in their face.


As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

www.russiatoday.com...

They are accusing Fox of cutting her off deliberately when the 12 year old was thanking Russia, and when the statement was made about Georgia starting this war. I agree with those accusations. But no surprise here. He's obviously learned well from Sean Hannity.

[edit on 16-8-2008 by TrueAmerican]


I have an issue with this, the 12 year old was never cut off from her thanking the Russians. What bothers me is the constant accusation that she was cut off when in fact it was her aunt that was cut off. The 12 year old should not even be mentioned, "learned well from from Hannity I assume". meh

This needs to be clarified that the aunt was cut off in her observation as to the events pertaining their story. Not the 12 year old. I believe mentioning her is to psychologically make people feel sorry...

The interview
I regret using Youtube as a source but it is unedited so I feel it serves a purpose.

Anyone associating the 12 year olds thoughts of Russia being the good guy is blind to the fact she is a child, easy to manipulate and easy to coach in script. When asked if bombs were going off during the trip to her Uncles home the subject of the question was ignored and she went on her rant that they were running from Georgian troops. Really... So now a 12 year old girl can tell who is lobbing bombs at her? Please...

Nobody knows the truth, there is no factual media to put facts together at the moment. As much as I despised using a Youtube link to show the truth. The fact remains using Youtube as a source of truth is ignorant when its edited drivel that anyone could have uploaded.

The idea that so many people see Russia as the good guy in this is scary.

EDIT: missed a space

HOLY EFFING CRAP!!! That video you posted that starts out as a CNN sitdown with the Georgian president... am I to understand that a news crew was with the Georgian's when they fired upon the Russian fighter jets & brought one down and that is what is shown on that video? That was incredible. Was this piece of footage already linked in the ridiculously huge Georgia/Russia thread? If so, there is a perfect example of the kinds of highly important news items completely missed when threads are allowed to become that huge instead of being broken up or at least summarized every 10 pages or so...

Oh, and CNN lying? Get out of town! You could have knocked me down with a feather over that news. Imagine a network with such integrity as CNN stoopi... oh, wait... it's CNN, the "news" network formerly owned by Ted Turner who was so liberal he forbid the usage of the word "foreign" on any of his networks, including CNN... I'm not in the least surprised by anything they do, unless they actually started reporting news sans bias and sensationalism, THAT would surprise me.
