15. Unfortunately this is nothing new. Propaganda is the norm

GOOGLE has long skewed search results.

GOOGLE has long ignored media and social media that does not “fit” into
their corporate/govt outlook/propaganda.

Many many times the EU and UK media is reporting on issues and events
That IS IGNORED by US corporate media….that is US a media ignores it UNTIL
it becomes way too BIG on social media in America for US corporate media to continue to ignore.

But SOMETIMES….like during the giant US government propaganda push to war in Iraq,
With its relentless pro-war propaganda non-stop lies, falsehoods and total bullshit
coming from the front pages of NYTIMES,,,,
Judith Miller’s endless LIES on NYTIMES front pages

Even though LOTS of world news reports showed the BushJr administration was
Outright LYING about WMDs,,, the US corporate news media continued
to push the pro-war propaganda lies non-stop.
