Could the mass media possibly be mind controlled?

[chicken_little]

I was watching part three of Zeitgeist today and then this evening had a thought that I couldn't brush off. The mass media is a big beast, employing who knows how many people, some of whom are privy to information that is probably considered by powerful people to be sensitive and not for public consumption. Yet that information is rarely, if ever, transmitted through mainstream television/radio/print. Although there are the rare instances that certain stories do come out that hint at something sensitive, it fizzles out right away, almost as if it's brushed under the carpet intentionally. It seems very strange that, with all of those people involved in the engine that drives the media, there is never any one of them stepping forward and exposing the deception that is going on. So I was wondering if there is some way that the people who control the information as it moves down the ranks are being influenced through some form of mind control or other psychological manipulation? The reason I think this could be a possibility is that I find it hard to believe that with that many people involved in spreading the "news" that none of them feels compelled to spill the beans. It just seems strange.

It works on loads of levels.For example, on sky "news" today there was a story about a pizza waitress who was given a cheque for $10000.We see her all happy, shuffling about with pizza.No problem.A feelgood story?No.Its a subtle instruction to people to carry on with their shitty jobs because you never know when Hank Handsome, space adventurer will roll up and give you ten grand.Its all bollocks.The people who read it out havent a clue.The people who decide what gets read out in the first place, now thats a different story.My favourite is this; police say the suspect MAY be armed.
People actually swallow the mindless speculation of dim-witted presenters instead of extracting the facts.
No ranting, I promise.
I`ve just remembered the other type, the ones who do outside broadcasts for local news channels but think theyre James fucking Cameron.Have you seen the shite little set-ups they put together?And the idiots on the street always go along with it, no matter how bad it is.
Shutting up now.

The possibility of the mass media being mind controled just hits the nail on the head. We expect more from them, but they are delving into their own poison of sensationalizim..

One important point I can make is when you actually see REAL NEWS happening on the new for example on Sky News during the few times on the war campaign in those early days when EVERYTHING was broadcasted, and they chose NOT to repeat things, and even now on the internet things faded away such as the press including Sky News itself had been aimed at by tank fire though the window of their hotel in Bagdad. Remember some of that? No one else seems to either.

Today more and more, embeded reporters follow with the military for "protection" but what they get is protection from impartialistic views, and sooner or later no matter how impartial a reporter is, they get caught up with the side they are embeded with, and the only side was with the American Military.

In recent days their has been a body count of more than 150 reporters and independent journalists since this false war begain.

Please people - don't attack me and say that a dictatorship had to be removed for the greater good of humanity because I know that it was that same government who had him illegally trailed and hanged who were responsible for putting him into power. They knew he had "WMD" because they suplied them as well as the money and technology to aquire parts and service.

I think a few things are obvious, a, these people are editing alot of things for the future memory, and b, repeating things so that they will be remembered, so they in turn are really doing the mind control as well as falling prey to it.
