Quote:Note that is only takes ONE person at each network to completely control the output of television news.

This is not entirely true.

It is true that that the off-screen gallery editor of a live news programme has ultimate control over the output of that programme.

It is also true that senior editors in television networks are usually selected as carefully as members of the Warren Commission, from the ranks of those eugenically bred to suppress anything dangerous to the dominant geopolitical settlement.

However, there will always be journalists within MSM outlets who are determined to investigate and tell deeper truths. The process is quite realistically sketched in Michael Mann's Big Tobacco movie, The Insider, with the mindset of the Pacino character, in spite or perhaps because of its flawed and arrogant nature, being immediately recognizable to anyone who's worked in a newsroom.

Allan Francovich's deeply subversive and groundbreaking series of films about Operation Gladio were broadcast by the BBC, despite the Beeb's system of spooky surveillance by Xmas trees and D-Notice culture.

Adam Curtis' films on everything from economic shock therapy to the fraudulent nature of the War on Terror have been paid for by the BBC, and transmitted around the world.

An excellent two-part documentary exposing the cartel and monopoly nature of the diamond industry was broadcast by the BBC, before being suppressed by lawyers for the families that run that industry.

A film I researched and worked on with an outstanding producer/director named Debbie Cadbury, about unethical and unscientific human trials of First World drugs on Third World women, which led to our being marched out of an interview with US AID HQ in Washington by security, was broadcast. See transcript here:

There are many other examples.

My point is that good work sometimes makes it past the guardians of MSM consensus reality.

The enemy is not omnipotent and all controlling.
