I mean sure, the government needs things from the media too. We saw CNN give Hillary the secret debate questions during the primary. Rather than going public with this atrocity Clinton just fucking used the information. Literally one person from CNN got fired, but she's got a job at the DNC now so it's totes cool. I think it's safe to assume that this sort of thing is far more common than we'd like to admit.
This is unfortunately nothing new. They did this in the USSR and East-Europe, and even in "free" countries such as Norway where there was one single national government-owned broadcaster (NRK, similar profile as BBC in the UK) feeding propaganda for the socialist labor party in the political areas. Satellite dishes was forbidden up till late 80's, and the first commercial national broadcaster (not via satellite) came about in 1993 IIRC (the gov't channel was BTW ad-free and financed through a TV-license, giving you the right to own a TV and radio).
This is organized censorship and I have been around long enough to see this come and go in various places.
I'm sorry, we don't need any company, corporatistic organization or government to tell us what is factual information. We can discern this ourselves, we can do the necessary research ourselves, and most of us has the experience and ability to call BS when we see it.
I am a bit worried for the younger generations though who's only source of information seem to be in many if not most cases, sites like Facebook, Google and so forth. That combined with a filtered mainstream media and a very poor education system could easily lead right back to where East-Europe were only a few decades ago, but with a different style and flavor as well as refined techniques and better ability to push targeted and effective propaganda to the masses. This is history, not conjecture, don't let it repeat.
I just quickly fond this, I was actually looking for a fact that Wales also created some sort of thing that helped the corrupt government do corrupt things. That is actually even missing from that list.
He is married to Kate Garvey is an English public relations executive and a former aide to prime minister Tony Blair. He is a establishment shill and not a independent person. Even if he would be I do not want anyone decide for me what is fake news or not.
The entire fake news hype is getting really annoying. It's the governments way to introduce censorship via backdoor.
Clap Clap you read a Wikipedia Article. Yes I trust Michael Adams with a lot of stuff, not everything. Yes I am a horrible anti-waxxer anti GMO who dares to believe that natural healthy lifestyle is better that taking a lot of chemicals sold by big Pharma. And yes I am also a "conspiracy theorist" (CIA invented term to shut down opposition after the JFK assassination) Nobody in their right minds can believe their magic bullet lone wolf assassin fairytale, and in fact about around 50% of Americans do not. I am actually well educated on many topics that Natural News covers and mainly not from Natural News, still coming to the same conclusions.
On the German Wikipedia they have a lot of defamatory Articles about people who dare to question the status quo. They refuse to let up edit the Articles objectively and it has been proven that the admins, the top 200 of Wikipedias Editors and Admins are in fact organized in various radical leftists organizations. And that they abuse their power and are anything but unbiased.
