(2,500 posts)corporate whore media are corporations themselves. They sought to profit from the plunder of Iraq. I know we are discouraged from making comparisons to Hitler's Germany, but our American media replicates the Reich's Ministry of Propaganda in their actions every single day. Never more so than in that period, of course. For in that instance, they were spreading the Bush administration's contrived propaganda to go to war against another nation. It doesn't matter that Saddam Hussein wasn't a favorite ally. His nation was not conspiring to attack or harm the United States.
As to the American media, when do they ever report the actual news of the world anymore? Between long commentary from their corporate employees and invited biased and unqualified guests, who are invited there to formulate opinion in the viewer's mind. In a full day of alleged news, only 30 minutes of actual news is reported. Sometimes less than that. It is mostly commentary (propapanda) to persuade the viewer's of their national and international goals. Nevermind that those persuasive commentaries are designed to circumvent law and common sense, or that they are directly contrary to this nation's national conscience and good, they are delivering the company's propaganda non-stop, wall to wall, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
