Original Post:
I asked, concisely and simply, what was being hidden from us. Most of them just berated me, one user claimed the Syria conflict to which I provided a link to a recent UN Statement on which quite accurately reflected the conflict start to finish. Another user claimed that the recently declassified Nixon era documents about the Chilean revolution and coup, but I was able to find a 1973 archived Newspaper accusing the Nixon Admin of having a hand in it from Times Magazine meaning it was already a mainstream theory at the time.
Wouldn’t that be logically impossible
You just said there are things which do not get printed.
Surely there are right? Every day, millions of choices end up on the editing room floor.
On tens of thousands of different editing room floors, by different editors? No, I don’t think they do.
Not once ever?
Not enough to justify the claim that “Capitalist Media is hiding the truth from you”.
Well… I mean don’t a lot of voices and stories get LATRGELY silenced by the capitalist machine? I’m not saying that it DELIBERATELY stops any particular news, but rather that by design news basically needs to be profitable to survive in a capitalist society, and lots of news isn’t profitable.
What a great example, i’m sp glad you finally provided simple evidence of your claim. /s
You don’t agree with my characterization? You’re not interested in engaging intellectually with this conversation?
You’re just going to keep demanding that I find you a specific news story that “corporate media” didn’t run?
Do you think this is a logical line of reasoning?
For arguments sake and to give you something to work with, how about the catholic sex abuse scandals?
Sure EVENTUALLY corporate media picked up these stories, when it was profitable and the social/political fallout was minimised, but at the same time those stories were buried for years (probably decades) by corporate media looking out for their own interests
