The Transformation

Witness the transformation from news to propaganda. Draw and STRIKE!:

Some real news came out of the release of the Inspector General’s report on the IRS abuse, and from the Congressional hearings this week. The Obama administration lied when it claimed it had no idea the IRS was targeting Conservative groups for delays & denials of their applications for tax-exempt status.

Everybody lied. The then-IRS Commissioner lied last year to Congress when he insisted no such targeting was going on, and Obama lied when he claimed he learned of the IRS scandal just last week by reading the newspapers.

But you wouldn’t really know that if you read the New York Times. You MIGHT if you dug way down deep into the story towards the end, if you can read a little between the lines.

Thankfully, as the following screenshots will show, you can learn for yourself how a breaking news story containing REAL new information gets ‘massaged’ by a media professional to ensure that readers come away with the ‘correct’ impression.

Anyone who claims that there is no such thing as media bias is a fucking idiot.
