But if you actually pause and think about what he\u2019s saying here, how true it is and what it says about the mass media institutions which people rely upon to form their worldviews, it\u2019s actually a damning indictment of our entire society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a fact that far more news media energy is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/tDs88\">going into one trivial aspect of an impeachment agenda<\/a>\u00a0that will with absolute certainty fail to remove Trump from office than there is for the known fact that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@caityjohnstone\/the-most-significant-afghanistan-papers-revelation-is-how-difficult-they-were-to-make-public-718a0003efc7\">the US government fought to suppress indisputable proof<\/a>\u00a0that American officials have been consistently lying about an 18-year military occupation which continues to this day. This fact should, by itself, be sufficient to completely discredit the mainstream press. This one tiny piece of information, that there\u2019s vastly more buzz about an irrelevant impeachment sideshow than there is over the Afghanistan Papers, should in and of itself cause everyone to regard the entire establishment media complex with the same amount of respect as it gives the Flat Earth Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mtracey\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/798153733255401473\/A7cfxZ4g_normal.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mtracey\"><strong><\/strong><strong>\u2714<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mtracey\/status\/1206076774741893120\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This last week teaches us that temporarily freezing and then unfreezing future military aid to one of our many far-flung client states is huge national emergency but the government systematically lying about every aspect of the longest war in US history is a forgettable non-issue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The News Churn Memory Hole: How The MSM Lies Even When Telling The\u00a0Truth \u201cThis goofy ass Trump letter is gonna get more outraged coverage than the bombshell report on the entire Afghanistan war being a lie and frankly I don\u2019t know if I can handle that right now,\u201d popular Youtube commentator Kyle Kulinski&nbsp;tweeted&nbsp;today.
