From the editor.(Spedcial issue on the media cartel)(Editorial)
Cartel (n.) -- A combination of independent commercial enterprises designed to limit competition.
Americans have more than one TV channel and more than one newspaper. Yet they all seem to parrot the same Establishment line. The reason is not just (or even primarily) because most reporters are liberal; most reporters are liberal because liberalism, not genuine conservatism, is what it takes to get ahead in the world of Big Media. Understanding that the news media is biased is important, of course. But the bias cannot be fully understood or even detected without first recognizing the revolutionary political agenda behind the bias.
The principal purpose of this special issue of THE NEW AMERICAN is to expose the media cartel and its revolutionary agenda (see "Behind the Bias" on the following page). The cartel's agenda, minus the Madison Avenue packaging, is to condition the American people to acquiesce to (and, better still, embrace) steps leading to global government controlled by a ruling elite.
Another purpose of this issue is to show the key tactics the media employ to beguile the public. Americans who understand the media cartel agenda, and who also understand the cartel's propaganda tactics, will be much better able to "read between the lines" and avoid being deceived themselves.
Media propaganda tactics exposed in this issue include:
* Blackout: The media cartel decides what the news is and what it is not. Stories conflicting with the party line are spiked (if possible) or downplayed (page 17).
* Misdirection: When a story damaging to the cartel picks up too much momentum to be spiked outright, the media will often try to misdirect the public's attention to another story. The classic example of this "sleight of hand" tactic is how President Clinton, with the complicity of the media magicians, was impeached for transgressions related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal when he should have been impeached for the far more serious crime of "Chinagate" (page 23).
