"If you desire the truth versus propaganda, you will be in a much better position to understand reality if you turn off your TV, put down the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and start relying on independent and alternative media sources instead"
I guess that's why YOU are HERE, reader!
UPDATE: I now listen to my news, and although I don't agree with everything he says, it is a hell of a lot better than reading the pos Boston Globe

Today, there is almost zero truth in mainstream media. Just as global financial firms like Goldman Sachs have repeatedly been exposed for issuing conflicting advice to different tier clients depending upon how much money the client has with the firm, mainstream media has constantly been exposed for issuing different stories as well, depending upon the propaganda they wish to disseminate. For example, Time Magazine often runs different cover stories for the United States and the rest of the world as is illustrated by the covers of issues released in October and December 2011 below.
Recently, there have been massive anti-government protests taking place in Taksim Square’s Gezi Park in Istanbul, Turkey, about which a blogger has written:
“People who are marching to the center of Istanbul are demanding their right to live freely and receive justice, protection and respect from the State. They demand to be involved in the decision-making processes about the city they live in… the government control over its people’s personal lives has become unbearable as of late. The state, under its conservative agenda passed many laws and regulations concerning abortion, cesarean birth, sale and use of alcohol and even the color of lipstick worn by the airline stewardesses…What they have received instead is excessive force and enormous amounts of tear gas shot straight into their faces. Three people lost their eyes. Yet they still march. Hundred of thousands join them. Couple of more thousand passed the Bosporus Bridge on foot to support the people of Taksim. No newspaper or TV channel was there to report the events. They were busy with broadcasting news about Miss Turkey and 'the strangest cat of the world'."
Much like Time Magazine has often done in the past, CNN chose to censor all news about the thousands of protestors in Istanbul in Turky, opting to air a documentary about penguins in Turkey while broadcasting the protests only on a separate CNN channel that aired outside of Turkey.
Why is this important? Because this same ridiculous propaganda applies to nearly 100% of financial “journalism” distributed by the mainstream media as well....
This type of pandering to a false reality is happening in every aspect of the financial market, and recognition of this propaganda will be crucial to people’s survival in the future....
Consequently, the action behind the scenes is often the polar opposite of what the mass media reports....
The moral of this story? If you desire the truth versus propaganda, you will be in a much better position to understand reality if you turn off your TV, put down the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and start relying on independent and alternative media sources instead....

I'm sorry I'm failing you, dear readers; however, I really am sick of the Boston Globe.
