Pilotasso Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 ...but smashed 3 or 4 fingers in the process. http://english.pravda.ru/russia/economics/88404-0/ Found this in F-16.net and thought you guys needed some laughs. .
Force_Feedback Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 That's what you get with 'ex'-totalitarian 'news agencies' that have the same kind of journalists as we do: lazy assed slackers that rather make up things than comply with the things they've learned during their studies. If only they were more critical at what kind of articles they accept, and fired all those wankers that are in the business for easy money. I'm wondering wether the US counterpart of the Pravda, Fox news has the same kind of 'patriots' working the news, probably yes, but they have more $$$ to keep the lid tight.

Arthonon Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Based on my experiences with the TV news industry, I think they should be required to preface each story with a "based on actual events" disclaimer, just like those movies and TV shows where they know they've changed so much stuff that they can no longer claim it's a true story.
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Most newspapers in the world spin the facts one way or the other. In the “free” world the news is controlled by the interest groups and some by the government, therefore there is very little objective reporting. In the “not-so-free” world, the news is controlled by the governments and some by interest groups, therefore there is very little objective reporting. Sometime the lies are obvious. However, often, especially in the “free” world, spin doctors are so good that uninformed and uneducated (about the subject) are easy victims to propaganda and skewed facts. Countries of the “free” world have another "advantage", and that is the global media coverage. Anybody who traveled the world knows what I am talking about. Global coverage ensures one important advantage and that is “say a lie thousand times and it becomes truth”.

RvETito Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Pravda?... yeah...right.. One question though- why did you bother read it at all? I'd rather watch Cartoon Network :D "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE=
nscode Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Cartoon Network Nothin' good anymore there :( Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
RvETito Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Nothin' good anymore there :( Unfortunately yes. I really miss Dick Dastardly&Mutley and their flying machines.:D "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is.

FanBoy2006.01 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Heh...maybe they should preface the story with "The events depicted in the following program are loosely based on a compilation of actual events. Any resemblance between the story you are about to see and any particular, actual events is purely coincidental. Oh..BTW...the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Oh...and one other thing...the views and opinions expressed in this program, in no way, represent the views of XYZ broadcasting or its affiliates. It once did, but those responsible have been sacked. " :D :megalol: The media do serve a purpose. If they say something, you know it is lies. They just put in some truth to help you swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Global coverage ensures one important advantage and that is “say a lie thousand times and it becomes truth”. Theres ignorance everywhere on the news, because journalists arent engineers (Infact 90% of them suffer from lack of general culture that is scandalous) but my intent here is to highlight propaganda based on ludricous and utter ignorance. I mean if you want to attack a given countries technical exploits one should at least talk about the correct items instead of mixing it up half way into the story for another that has nothing to do with it. The article even apears to have broken the semantics they were aiming at! Respectefully, you obviously havent travelled enough to know what the hell your talking about , so dont come here generalizing the whole "free world" media for a couple of US means of media. Lies taken as truth after talking about them a 1000 times are only true on an united front of goverment manipulated media for the intent of power status quo in rogue regimes. Lies can be told on the west but either they are forgotten the next day or sometime later they fall apart on another story scoop to get audiences. Try teach a western journalist what he/she souldnt publish and I wish you good luck. I could give you some screaming examples of that but I dont want this to be politicaly driven. .

RvETito Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Waaaaaaaaaaaay too much OT! "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE=
Falco77 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Well I liked thier "article" on cheerleaders distracting crowds from sporting events. "Management happens." -anonymous

There is no respect in your words here. Lies taken as truth after talking about them a 1000 times are only true on an united front of goverment manipulated media for the intent of power status quo in rogue regimes. There is overwhelming evidence of western “free press” doing the same in international affairs. Lies can be told on the west but either they are forgotten the next day….He, he, he … What is your point? …or sometime later they fall apart on another story scoop to get audiences. Audience really don’t care much about international affairs. Try teach a western journalist what he/she souldnt publish and I wish you good luck. I could give you some screaming examples of that but I dont want this to be politicaly driven.Pilotasso, they got you obviously. I suggest you don’t believe everything you see on TV. Journalists in the USA and other western countries don’t have much chances to manipulate facts about events within their countries. However, international affairs are something else … Thermaltake Kandalf LCS | Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R | Etasis ET750 (850W Max) | i7-920 OC to 4.0 GHz | Gigabyte HD5850 | OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 2000 | 2 X 30GB OCZ Vertex SSD in RAID 0 | ASUS VW266H 25.5" | LG Blue Ray 10X burner | TIR 5 | Saitek X-52 Pro | Logitech G930 | Saitek Pro flight rudder pedals | Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Pilotasso Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 There is overwhelming evidence of western “free press” doing the same in international affairs. In the west Journalists publish practicaly all they find with little restrictions He, he, he … What is your point? Point is that lies always leave loose ends that other Journalists will pick up later. A lie found is usualy a good story to tell. A good story leads to audiences and more audiences gets you more paychecks. Outside the "free world" it would get you and your next of kin a grave, simple as that. Pilotasso, they got you obviously. I suggest you don’t believe everything you see on TV. LOL "they got me"? You dont have the slightest idea, if you do a search you will see how much "they got me" regarding elections and my own personal opinion how well international affairs have been handled. Me and some US friends here have had quite a few debates, so "they didnt get me" I can assure you that. It seems to me that it was rather other journalists outside the "free world" that "got you" instead. ;) Journalists in the USA and other western countries don’t have much chances to manipulate facts about events within their countries. However, international affairs are something else … ... then you would be 100% Wrong. Western journalists have been pointed out as indirectly responsible for VIP's demise, either by scandal or even fisicaly. Some of wich belong to the political sphere, indeed political regimes have been thrown down with the help of journalists. You have no idea how deep they can burry their noses into peoples business. I guess your not familiar to that kind of journalistic culture or mentality. .
Pilotasso Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 Was thinking about princess Diana, a scientist in the UK, and a bunch of journalists that died in indonesia. All these events hapened because someone snooped arround wrong or right. .
Poopskadoop Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Pravda isn't a legitimate news source, and I honestly can't imagine that many people pretend it is.
Force_Feedback Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Pravda isn't a legitimate news source, and I honestly can't imagine that many people pretend it is. Hit the nail right on! They spreaded bullshit commie propaganda in the Soviet era, and now all mass media is owned by the goverment in Russia... Well think for yourself. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
