Media War !


These days the most favorite topic on almost every mainstream news channel is Iran, its election and its discrepancies, depending on which news channel we might be watching, we get different reports, to understand the massive differences in the coverage of this event, lets take a second look. We observed the systematic media coverage of certain developments in countries like Ukraine and Georgia in the past and not to forget the coverage of Burma and its unfortunate flood catastrophe (which turned political after 24 hours), in direct comparison to the coverage of the Tsunami in Indonesia. One sees the political doctrine of the 21 century being implemented through radio waves and through satellites, reporting events according to custom made patterns, magnifying events and obvious issues like a floating body (a victim of the flood)into a monstrosity and implies the fault of this to be by the Government which is not in line with the mentioned doctrine, creating artificial sensationalism and by reflecting them into certain areas, hoping to generate some reactionary backlash.

The same could be said about the coverage of Iran's election and its aftermath, the BBC is a well known tool of the British foreign ministry, their arrangement of "You scratch my back and I yours" simplifies itself into the state giving information and cover over almost all international issues, in return from time to time they have to play the propaganda machine for political purposes, CNN and other stations are not much different but their affiliations are not always to Governments like the BBC but to certain political streams like Fox News is to the Republicans and MSNBC to the Democrats. The coverage of Iran and the extremity in which the Demonstrations are presented is hence understandable. Watching Iranian News agencies and Media is also not gratifying, because of their total fixation to neutralize the BBC and other mainstream media, which are actually waging and instigating the unrest and are factually craving to see blood on the streets of Tehran, this might sound biased, but the history of Iran of which I speak
about, confirms the role of Britain and US in the destruction of the hard won democracy in Iran in 1953 and the specific role the BBC played in it, not to forget the 1979 revolution which the BBC actually shepherded the flow of information from one Marxist Leninist group to the other Religious group which at that time, had no contacts with each other.

I recommend "NOT" to believe the Western media regarding the Iranian unrest and "NOT" to believe the Iranian media,they are actually fighting each other.

The truth is somewhere in between.

Underneath I embed a report on the different type of reporting over the Gaza war for you to get an idea.

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T...

A Dangerous Woman !

UK’s Independent wrote , “The leader of Germany’s main right-wing anti-migrant party has caused political uproar by insisting that the country’s border police should be authorised to “ shoot at refugees” trying to enter the country illegally. Frauke Petry , the 40-year-old leader of Germany’s (a mother of four who recently left her pastor husband for a neo-nazi boyfriend) once merely Euro sceptic but now increasingly xenophobic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, made her controversial demands after addressing a political meeting in Hanover at the weekend. “Police must stop migrants crossing illegally from Austria,” Ms Petry told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper. “And, if necessary, use firearms. That is what the law says. (actually she is dead wrong on the law issue) ” She added: “I don’t want this either, but the use of armed force is there as a last resort.” Her remarks were the most extreme political response so far by a substantial political figure to mounting publ...

Vaccinating Egypt !

Image
This once cradle of an unparalleled civilization, the land in which its scientists and mathematicians, its thinkers and inventors, used the through generations of incestuous intermarriages, genetically inferior Pharaohs and their manipulability, and made some of the longest-lasting, unique and enigmatic monuments, in the history of mankind. We should also not forget the Egyptian culture, after its Islamisation, which was not of lesser importance. Their Universities and philosophical centres were all magnets for all regional cultures and an inspiration for generations throughout centuries for peoples beyond its borders. Egypt’s ups and downs in history, have been fairly moderate, comparing it to other nations, one seems to get the impression that it all had its use for the Egyptian culture. The only deficit an observer might detect here is their inability to adopt positive and useful cultural features from their so-called cultural invaders, which due to its geo-political situation happ...
