As the General Election season rolls on, no doubt we will witness
many acts of disingenuous reporting my the “journalists” of the
mainstream media. Propaganda and manufactured stories will abound.
During the chaos in San Diego last week, one Telemundo cameraman was caught manufacturing staged camera shots.
He did it so effortlessly one could have mistaken him for a Reuters
photographer covering a staged missile strike at a Palestinian refugee
camp.
“Filmmaker Andrew Marcus was documenting the protest when he
caught the Telemundo cameraman getting anti-Trump protesters to pose
for a shot and {directing them on ] how to display their Mexican flag,”
reports Michelle Moons for Breitbart.com.
The Telemundo cameraman
told the protesters how to position and hold an anti-Trump banner and is
seen gesturing to get two other protesters to turn their Mexican flag
right-side-up and facing forward. One of the protesters being directed
by the “journalist” was holding a “f**k Trump” sign.
When asked by
the filmmaker if his actions constituted the manufactured staging a
shot, Telemundo’s camera-wielding journalist replied, “Uh, probably.”
As
the filmmaker continued to point out the unethical and dishonest nature
of what “journalist” was doing the cameraman said, “What do you want me
to do man? I’m not part of the protest bra.” And when called again on
the dishonest journalism – but effective propaganda – he was creating,
the cameraman simply said, “f**k you man, I needa work.”
The
mainstream media is no stranger to manipulating the truth to advance a
Progressive agenda. Formerly-esteemed journalist Walter Cronkite
admitted in the years before his death he held a Liberal bias as he
reported the news. Dan Rather, his heir to the CBS Evening News, was caught red-handed creating fake documents in an effort to sink a presidential candidacy.
And
Reuters has been caught staging photographs in the West Bank of a
pro-Hamas bent. In that instance, the subject of photographs used in
news reports carted around a days old body of a child who had died in a
house fire, presenting the death as a result of an Israeli rocket.
In
days gone by, the people believed they could turn on the television or
pick up a newspaper and read about current events through the eyes of a
truthful lens. News stories weighed exclusively on the journalistic
questions, “Who what, where, when, why and how.” It was a time of an
informed public.
Today, our journalism schools teach students it
is quite alright to inject your opinion into articles; that emotion can
trump facts if “the end justifies the means,” an Alinsky tactic of the
Progressive Movement. Today, Progressives run the newsrooms and
editorial boards, and emotion and innuendo supplant honesty, truth, and
the public trust. Today, a majority of people consume what they think is news, only to be indoctrinated into an ideological agenda.
