The American media, whose sheer numerosity fools many into thinking they offer diversity, presents each day multiple examples of gross misreporting (or blatant omissions) to suit the global political agenda controlled by the capitalist cliques. Past masters of deception, they use many techniques to simulate veracity.
Foreign policy is particularly subject to heavy manipulation, and most coverage (surprise!) rarely deviates from the official line as laid down by the White House, State Department or other important centers of power. This piece by CBS, featuring their anchor, Scott Pelley, is typical of the line being peddled by the media in regard to Syria these days. We would like to invite you to critique the above piece, setting forth in which manner it is wrong or tendentious. For inspiration, and as cautionary note, see this article:

IF YOU THINK THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA ARE A DISGRACE AND A HUGE OBSTACLE
to real change in America why haven’t you sent at least a few dollars to The Greanville Post (or a similar anti-corporate citizen’s media?). Think about it. Without educating and organizing our ranks our cause is DOA. That’s why our new citizens’ media need your support. Send your badly needed check to “TGP, P.O. Box 1028, Brewster, NY 10509-1028.” Make checks out to “P. Greanville/ TGP”. (A contribution of any amount can also be made via Paypal and MC or VISA.)
THANK YOU.
