This has puzzled me for a while now, it came to a head yesterday in a discussion with " The sheep report " about Israel helping ISIS ( which reading the stories only pointed out that they were attacking Hezbollah imho ), then today the same person posts about a US police officer unloading 137 rounds into a car, the link was some " thefreethoughtproject " which upon further reading, just looks like a website thats very anti police
We are being told that the mainstream news agencies " Fox / Sky / BBC etc etc " are feeding us stories the " new world order ( or whatever we call them now " want us to read and swallow
To a degree this is no realy surprise, Goverments around the world have always used the " press " to put a angle on certain things they want to do, in war's its called propaganda ( i guess it still called it out of war time )
BUT
why should we accept " alternative news feeds " as fact ? ? ? afterall its just a internet site, we can all set-up a site and spout " news ", as i said above, thefreethoughtproject just looks like a anti-police site, should we accept the " facts " on that as its not on the mainstream news ? ? ?

Bloody hell I thought I was obsessed by these topics but reading this board the last few days it looks as if I'm a part timerOriginally Posted by BLUETIT wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 09:41
Stories are put out for many reasons, whether it be to make something socially acceptable, discredited another person/nation or even make money. Sometimes the angle they take and the wording alone is very subtle propaganda. If you feel pashun-ate about something then look for as many sources about the subject as possible (not always easy in the copy & paste website hit world that surrounds MSM) Censorship (Google = the Ministry of Truth) may mean you have to dig a little deeperOriginally Posted by Taunton Blue Genie wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 09:39
They're just searching for something to fill a hole in their lives and then they feed off each other. I think it makes them feel itk. Borderline mental illness IMOOriginally Posted by blue matt wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 09:37
I once worked as a middle manager for an American owned newspaper, the internal politics and news agendas (even at a local level) were a real eye opener.Originally Posted by Taunton Blue Genie wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 09:39
The reason 4m people read about benefit cheats, terrorism and immigration is because they are three serious threats/issues to our society. That socialists and liberals seem to regard half a million new immigrants into the UK as something insignificant just shows how far away they are from the mindset of the British working class - the very peole they claim to represent..Originally Posted by alfie sherwood wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 10:39

It certainly doesn't mean that you have to accept everything without fact checking it, simply because it's on the internet. But it does mean that the competition to get stories right, is far more than it would have been in years gone by.Originally Posted by blue matt wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 09:37
It's not an argument solely of "socialists and liberals." It's pretty easy to see what's going on if you open your eyes.Originally Posted by A Quiet Monkfish wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 10:46

I mean, it really beggars belief that there are people out there that invest so much time in taking this stuff seriously. Common sense is enough to know that in todays day and age such a 'goverment hoax' would be completely impractical for a start. Any one person with proof of this 'hoax' could destroy it in seconds with a simple tweet. But that is not enough for people who are essentially mentally ill, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. I just wish these people would either seek help here or move abroad to a country they trust more. But i suspect they believe the health services are all 'in on it' too.
Knowingly or unknowingly you appear to be advocating for a fascist society, one structured on pre-determined guidelines about what can, or cannot be expressed freely.Originally Posted by bryndon2 wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 11:46
A mate of mine the other day was trying to convince me that Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in the 1960's and subsequently replaced by an imposter. It's barking.Originally Posted by bryndon2 wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 11:46
edit to the above: Another giveaway that these sites are run by wackos is that often the conspiracy theorist will be trying to sell something. In the ridiculous video which i mentioned above, at the end the guy being interviewed advertises his website. If you follow that website then you are immediately met with an advert to buy his book. This one unsurprisingly titled 'Breaking the spell - The Holocaust Myth and Reality'.
Yesterday in one of my first posts about all this stuff I said that conspiracy theorists today will be of the same psychological and moral make up of holocaust deniers and there's your proof. Sick, sick people.

Like alfie said, investigative journalism is one thing...but these conspiracy theorist sites are something else.Originally Posted by The sheep report wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 11:57

But hey! I work in supply chain management for one of the worlds biggest companies, if you look around your living room you'll probably see the brand. I'll also add that I hate corporations, but it pays for me to look after my family and give me absolute freedom of how I spend my life outside workOriginally Posted by omegaflames3 wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 10:14
Because i suggested these guys are often trying to sell something? Righto.Originally Posted by Mick the Miller wrote on Sat, 07 March 2015 12:10
