I am still waiting for a reply from KPO. Since the Ukraine is obviously a hot button that prevents perspective when it comes to evaluating the news process itself, I've been pointing towards Fukushima. KPO - whatever happened to Fukushima? How is it out of the news?

Well, KPO
Here is some information about how news was suppressed and distorted re Fukushima:

You would have preferred "strong propaganda"?
Yes. Just because it is propaganda doesn't mean that it can't contain real, strong evidence for the narrative it's pushing.
Quote:
No matter what was shown, you would have just dismissed it as propaganda anyway, right?
RT = pro-Kremlin propaganda. But no, not dismissed, 'watched critically'.
Quote:
And beaten, don't forget that.
I didn't see much beating going on. Or evidence of serious beating (like bruises etc.).
Quote:
Yanno, KPO, I wonder how you would have reacted if that had been western sympathizers dragged off buses and beaten by Russian thugs. I'm sure you would have been all over yourself about the horrors of it all!
I'm sure I've read of incidents of violence like this, and I'm sure that wasn't my reaction.
Quote:
What I wanted you to see was the protests. No, they're not the "most shocking" videos (there is worse), but it does show the rioters in a different light than in the western press. There were peaceful innocent protesters, but there were also a phalanxes of trained street thugs, neo-Nazis
The narrative in Western media was that of a popular revolution with some fringe, hard-core, right-wing, thuggish elements. The RT video showing ONLY these hardline elements, as one would expect them to, does nothing to refute the Western narrative. RT does not have any separate, unique evidence - it just has a different narrative.
Quote:
So back to the original question: How is is that the western press has so throughly misrepresented everything of importance for the past 40 years or more?
I don't think that it has. I can think of occasions where the media has shown an anti-war bias - which seems to be the opposite of what you're claiming. I think you could come up with a litany of cases of media misrepresentation over the last 40 years but I would probably only agree with a few of them, reject others, partially agree on others. That would be a far cry from "thoroughly misrepresented everything of importance for the past 40 years or more". In any case I don't want to go through 50 case studies.

Is anything 'new' happening there?

Can you explain to me what those links are supposed to show?

I think the questions are, has it stopped happening, and has it become less important. Perhaps you should go back and revisit the topic.

You really think that TEPCO and the Japanese government are going to lay bare the issues... Gosh, we really screwed up. Northeastern Japan is hopelessly contaminated for the next century. One of our reactors blew up and scattered fuel-dust everywhere (that highly radioactive black dust that we've been saying for years is "nothing"). A half-million of our citizens have been internally-contaminated, and the fuel from three of our reactors has drizzled out of the reactor vessel and is boring its way through concrete And all of that water that we've been pouring onto the mess has leaked out like water through a colander. We've contaminated the West Coast of North America with iodine and cesium, and have graduated to hemorrhaging cesium, strontium, and tritium-contaminated water into the Pacific. And we know that we will cause millions in excess cancers and unpredictable ecological damage to the Pacific. And we have no idea what to do about it, other than try a pump up some fraction for treatment using low-wage labor, while we splash it around the site and make it ultimately unmanageable
Yeah, I expect that in the Japanese and American MSM any day now!

Except their water decontamination system never reached more than 1/10 its anticipated capacity. And it broke down - again - and last I read was permanently shuttered. So now they have no decontamination capacity at all.
Well, since that's not in the news, it must not be important.

Signy, your Fukushima prediction has been noted. Kiki, do you have one of your own?

Same goes for the dire situation in Syria, which has also dropped out of the news.
