The Fourth Estate Has Murdered America
The Fourth Estate Has Murdered America
Paul Craig Roberts
The “news service” of multi-billionaire Bloomberg echoes the New York Times lie that Russia paid the Taliban to kill US occupying troops:
“Lawmakers from both U.S. political parties demanded President Donald Trump hold Russia accountable over allegations it offered cash bounties for the killing of American troops. Trump has denied reports by several major news organizations that he was briefed on the matter; he has not demanded an investigation of the allegations; and he has yet to even threaten Moscow with retaliation should the reporting be confirmed. Trump’s lack of action has reignited concerns that the Republican is more interested in maintaining cordial relations with Vladimir Putin than defending American interests—including its troops.”
Notice all the innuendos in this dishonest report: “Trump has denied,” “he has not demanded an investigation,” “he has yet to even threaten moscow,” ‘Trump’s lack of action,” “more interested in cordial relations with putin than defending American troops.”
The claim iitself is so absurd that it indicates the media regard Americans as completely stupid. The US and Taliban have been killing each other since October 2001 when the Cheney/Bush regime illegally attacked Afghanistan. For 19 years the Taliban has known who its enemy is and does not need Russian bribes to kill US occupiers.
To me, it is extraordinary that the New York Times and the proprietor of Bloomberg News are so devoid of integrity that they make up out of thin air false allegations for the sole purpose of convincing Americans that their president is a Russian agent more concerned with getting along with Putin than protecting US soldiers. This latest lie from NYTimes/Bloomberg is an effort to resurrect the Russiagate hoax.
Here is what happened. Some Democrat or anti-Trump member of the military/security complex planted a lie on the New York Times. The NY Times knew it was a lie, did not investigate, and quickly published the lie for which the NY Times had no evidence. Indeed, it is possible that the NY Times simply made up the story itself.
Once the lie is published, the rest of the presstitutes, such as Bloomberg, quickly spread the lie. Democrat and even Republican politicians start agitating for explanations and investigations of why Trump took no action against Russia.
The Department of Defense issues a statement that there is “no corroborating evidence” to support the New York Times’ fake news. But the Democrats, presstitutes and liberal pundits dismiss the DOD statement as covering up for President Trump. Once again an obvious lie is being turned into a proven fact.
The New York Times is supposed to be a newspaper, “the paper of record,” and Bloomberg is supposed to be a news service. But both are propagandists dispensing lies in order to help the American Establishment get rid of Trump who represents the working class. In American politics, representing the working class is no longer permissible.
The liberals, the progressives, and the left are the actual forces aligned against America. They are far more dangerous to ordinary Americans than are North Korea, Iran, China, and Russia. They are dangerous to all races that comprise the US Tower of Babel, because they are bringing America down in a spasm of disinformation and hate.
