MICHAEL WALSH: A New York firm of publishers recently brought out a book entitled The Washington Correspondent, in which some extremely interesting statements appeared. 

The author records the answers to a questionnaire placed before several journalists.

The question of how far the freedom of a journalist extended was often laconically answered to the effect that everyone knew they had to write what their editors wanted, or that they would be thrown out of the editorial departments if they did not write what was wanted. 

The writer of the book, Leo C. Roston, remarks that in a society where freedom is a nice slogan, limited by economic reality, a clear conscience is a luxury restricted to those who have enough money (like Tucker Carlson) to refuse a compromise at the expense of their personal ideals.’

‘Some journalists who are actually quite open-minded and are aware of the real situation, but have no choice but to write what is expected of them by their editors to make both ends meet and have a decent salary.’ ~ Fernando Casado, Spanish Analyst and Legal Expert.

‘In all my years in journalism, I have never felt so ashamed of my profession as in the last four weeks. The job of the journalist is to ask questions.

To find out the truth. To be absolutely fearless in following leads, wherever they may take you.

Today in Britain, political journalism means just parroting the official War Party line. ~ Neil Clark is a British mainstream journalist, columnist and broadcaster.

A study by the Associated Press’s Media Insight Project showed that only 6 per cent of Americans had a great deal of trust in the mainstream news.

The United States ranks last in media trust among 92,000 news consumers surveyed in 46 countries. Only 29 per cent of American respondents said they trust the news, compared to 54 per cent in Brazil and 39 per cent in Indonesia. ~ Sputnik International June 26, 2021.

‘The presstitutes are worse than the whores that they are. They never question the path to war; they only amplify it.

Washington’s craven, cowardly, moronic vassal states in UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, and the rest of the EU/NATO idiots are, by their cooperation with Washington, begging for their own destruction.

Nowhere in the West is there a sign of intelligence.’ – Glenn Greenwald.

“I worked for the BBC’s English-language outlets as an editor and senior editor for 35 years. Since the early 1990s, there has been growing intolerance of criticism of editorial management decisions, even in internal forums, which internal BBC propaganda claims are meant for staff to speak freely.

This applies across the board on all matters. But certainly, concerning Israel and Zionism, any questioning of BBC impartiality would attract accusations of anti-Semitism.

“It would certainly spell the end of one’s career, no matter how privately and confidentially such criticism is conveyed. Former senior editor for the BBC.

The French government has launched a propaganda campaign in the country, intending to start military operations against Russia, said Florian Philippot, leader of the French Patriots party.

“There is a crazy propaganda campaign unfolding on television,” he wrote on the social network X, noting that its goal is to force France to officially enter into an armed conflict with Moscow.

In this publication, Filippo commented on the words of LCI TV channel political commentator Pierre Cervant, who stated that Paris is already at war with Russia.

The leader of the “Arise, France” party, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, previously stated that the French Armed Forces, with their publication on the social network X admitted their participation in the conflict against Moscow.
