P. GREANVILLE—The American network CBS (Calumny Broadcasting System) is at it all the time, planting lies in the minds of a largely clueless public, and so are its sisters at home and abroad, including NBC, ABC, BBC, FOX News, and even the supposedly more ideologically neutral PBS (which has been rightfully nicknamed, the “Petroleum Broadcasting System”. Guess why.) PBS’ famed and wrongly admired news show, The Newshour, is an excellent example of liberaloid disinformation at its sanctimonious best. (See The Political Function of PBS, by Alex Cockburn). Note that these propaganda memes against opponents of the empire go on for years, even decades, until the goal is accomplished: the total demonization of a nation and its leaders, with the tacit implication that righteous America has the moral right to intervene by any means necessary to re-establish “freedom and democracy”.
