Well, let's be honest: None of the famous Newspapers and TV-Stations in whole USA did guess anything about the coming Finance Crash. Look into my literature: I predicted it in all details already 1995. But let's write about the real pearls of media beginning of 21st Century.
What is wrong with the brains of U.S. Editors? All is wrong. They know nothing, except some techniques about creeping in any You-know-what if right-wing and pragmatic enough.
Let's be short, hard and just. Let's explain all the qualities of Worldwide Press and Media:
Washington Post
They had some heroes around the Watergate-Bluff. It was a bluff: First of all "Deep Throat" should have got Pulitzer, not his two servants. Second of all, it was not important if Nixon had to jump into the water. What came later in the Oval Office was much worse, from Presidency to Presidency. World-record in Stupidity was GW Bush, but he may be exceeded by Barack. And third: What is so famous about Washington Post? Equal to NYT, they never got what happened in Politics, Economics and Culture. To be blind, influenced, Stock Exchange friendly, growth-sick, greedy and powerful when living and publishing in a downwards hegemony? What a bore these Posts all are, my God.
New York Times
It's Times to write about the greatest bluffers of them all. The do not journalism, they do glosses and don't know it. Embedded in the early war in Iraq they were full of glory on GW Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and themselves. When Bush went down on Victory air-carrier, they crept not only in his political Correct-Language thing - no, they predicted the greatest Era of power for USA. And when came 9/11, and even better, orthodox Wall Street, crashing the whole world in misery, they cunningly let speak the top idiots in economics Krugman, Summers, Geithner and Bernanke. Too bad, they did not take Karl Popper, Milton Friedman, Pinochet, Videla or Greenspan. NYT is a fake of nothing.
Newsweek
Waaaak! What is new with WEEK? I read twice Newsweek at Cote d'Azur, my God. Better to ask directly for the diaries of GW Bush or Cheney or Limbaugh. The world is cracking and they still look for some responsible person in socialism or communism. The bad-banks and persons still are in China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela. They pretend: The Blood dictators killing our youth have not been some CIA-friendly and IMF-assisted Pinochet, Videla, Stroessner and all the allies of USA, but Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez or Putin. Where is the next basket for vomiting? They want to restore the past of a self-destructive scheme of U.S. growth-capitalism. Hope they will be wiped away together with the Greenspan Tsunami in Real Economics----
TIME
Harrrhhh! TIME. What a pride! First I though this Paper had 3 pages and found out they had some 120, very thin paper and very thin brains. But at least, they are international, they have not seen coming the crimes in the USA in politics, economics, religion and ecology. But today, so do as if they had been the avant-garde of it all. TIME tries to explain in very detail about ABS, CDS and CDO and AIG - and name the crooks. But I bet my fortune: They use Swiss Banks, tax paradises and GW Bush consultants of criminal accounting firm, to minimise their non-existent profits, if they still had any-----
FOX-TV
The Murdoch channel of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh is a shame for humanity. Who wants to know, why USA is in their free fall now, must look one day long famous Fox-TV. I am not talking of crazy-gone Americans of the Bible-belt. I talk of normal French, German and Swedish people with normal education. Not the ones of the Friends of FOX-TV, out of Chicago and Berkeley Universities - no, I meant real schools of common sense. FOX is just a better Hollywood-scrap, Bollywood bluff of wrong feelings and empty brains, short: some modernized NYT, USA Today or Schwarzenegger TV.
Pravda
Well, they try from time to time spelling one sentence of truth. The rest its pure Americanism. Sorry, what you say? Ah, Russia? Sorry, Putinism. Sure. Still, what they diffuse about the world affairs, full of sex, sun, fun and nothing but naked girls, surrounded by the lies the Pravda-regime, spread unfortunately in our world - this is more than Russian - it is International - it is American. Sachs and IMF and Worldbank, the instructors of Yeltsin and Putin have done best work. They have Oligarchs with Billions on Swiss banks and the rest of folks goes down to hell. And some Pollonium Services killing opponents and nice writers like Politkovskaja and Litvinenko - and Pravda keeps quiet.
Rinf News
Yes, they have taken some of my glosses. Then, they pretended that other writers repeating slow-food matters ever discussed before a 1000 times, on level of 10 years old children, do really reflect all true realities in our rotten world. So, Rinf is just another synonym for Alternative Murdoch ideology: Writing a lot about nothing and leave the cash to those who had it before. Master-mind and mean man Mickey Mouse should try to do News writing on higher level, instead of spreading lies.
InterNews
I have to say some ugly things, otherwise the rest does not count - Here it comes: InterNews is shreddering on about 3000 pages worldwide a selection of articles of other Newspapers - the whole day, month and year long---- Fine. They do it professional-like, they are decent and do not accept odd articles like this one here. But from time to time, they let speak writers who can look above the original plate of junk, normal shreddering would produce. Let's be thankful. And I write these nice lines not for money - in 3 years I have not ONE dime. For good reasons - InterNews want to stay independent.
This is the big difference to those, embedded with Putin, or Merkel, or Sarkozy, or Berlusconi, or Hu and Wen and Singh, or - on top of the line - U.S. Journaille who were more than embedded with Friedman-capitalism, destructive Wall Street fantasies and the "creative" politics of famous GW Bush - and today still are with Yes can Barack.
And all the rest? Not worth mentioning. There is no land with valuable Media. They all are common, without sense, no philosophical, interest of cash instead brains, Journaille on lowest fire, not worried about real chains of origins and effects. The whole world writes the same intellectual nonsense, does never foresee crashes to come, judge criminal Dictators, U.S. Presidents or English Prime Ministers, let the richest VIP go to all tax paradises of the world, letting Middle Class and Poor pay taxes in their place - in all nations on this globe.
When did U.S. Press and Journalism know anything of anything? It was in the year 2111, on March 31, exactly.
