How Mainstream Media Deceives The Masses with Ben Swann
In this video, I talk with @BenSwann of Truth In Media and Reality Check in San Diego, California during Libertopia about the history of mainstream media deception. Ben breaks down some of the many reasons why the mainstream media cannot be trusted, explaining the lies people have been fed about countless major stories especially stemming from the early 2000s, but not counting out the past actions of the CIA with programs like Operation Mockingbird.
Mr. Swann also explains that many independent medias are similar to mainstream media in the fact that they look for clicks and money rather than truth.
Confirmation bias is certainly a huge part of the problem that we as individuals face in our search for truth and independent thought.
With the problems explained, Ben goes into the solutions. The responsibilities an independent reporter or journalist faces and how they could lead people towards truth rather than identity.
Ben also talks about how incredibly innovative cryptocurrencies like Dash are as they change the media landscape.
All this and more!

That's how the world works, people are getting greedy once the opportunity comes and they want more for themselves; they want to control people, they want to control geopolitics and they do everything they can for the sake of their own interest and that's how the world works that's simply Human have the fundamental traits like greed.
A very useful and important video. My thank.

@benswann is a great guy. Interestingly, he earned his first spores at the same time as Tim Pool one of the few interesting other independent journalists with plenty of integrity.
Look at that James dean lookin motherfucker 😂
The MSM has lost so much credibility lately that its a wonder they can keep the lights on❓

Just wanted to point out that, while Mockingbird may have officially ended with the Church Committee hearings, I disagree a bit with Ben that the infiltration of the media by the intelligence agencies ended.
For example, when the Iraqi WMD lie emerged in the UK there was a ridiculous claim by the Blair Government that Saddam could have launched an attack against the UK mainland in 45minutes. This was in 2003, so not so long ago. It was Con Coughlin of the Telegraph who broke the 45-minute Iraqi WMD story in the UK.
Previously Coughlin had been forced to pay damages for a false story alleging that Muammar Gaddafi's son, Saif Gaddafi, was involved in a massive counterfeiting operation. Saif launched a libel action and the Telegraph were forced to acknowledge the story was completely fictitious. Con Coughlin divulged he had written the story on behalf of MI6, having met with then British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind and MI6 operatives. Coughlin also disclosed that he had been reporting MI6 supplied stories for years and had falsely attributed the stories to other sources to complete the deception.
We know that MI6 worked with Blair's spin doctor Alistair Campbell to falsify intelligence as a casus beli for war in Iraq. All the evidence indicates that intelligence agencies have been consistently feeding disinformation to the media post Mockingbird, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Similarly in the recent alleged poisoning of Sergei Skripal in the UK it is now known that the British Government issued reporting banning orders in the UK (called D notices) to stop the reporting of the fact that Skripal's handler had links to MI6's Jonathan Steele of the dodgy Trump dossier fame.
For this and many other reasons I believe the media, on both sides of the Atlantic, are still closely intertwined.
