Media Blackout On Cheney Iran False Flag Story

Media Blackout On Cheney Iran False Flag Story
Alex Jones’ Prison Planet.com Media Blackout On Cheney Iran False Flag Story


Quote:
UPDATE - 12.55pm CST - MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann covered the story on Thursday by naming Dick Cheney in his “worst person” segment. See the transcript here.

The mainstream American corporate press has once again proven itself to be no better than the state controlled media in places like Communist China or Zimbabwe, by steadfastly refusing to print even a mention of the huge story concerning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh’s recent comments that the vice president wanted to carry out a false flag operation to provoke a war with Iran.

Can you point out any glaring factual errors on the part of Olbermann?

I don't mean "You disagree with him".

Re: Media Blackout On Cheney Iran False Flag Story

I love how, while hordes and hordes of stories use unnamed sources (mainly because the sources in question -- if honest -- could lose their jobs and freedoms if they were attributed sources), only the stories which disagree with one's viewpoint are lambasted for using such sources.

It's cute, in a run-home-now-your-mom's-calling sort of way.

Re: Media Blackout On Cheney Iran False Flag Story

Is there one iota of evidence to back up this story in any way what so ever? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, unfortunately the internet generation believes anything they read these days.

Can you point out any facts not just unproven assertions?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, unfortunately Hersh is not a reliable source as he ALWAYS uses unnamed sources to back up extraordinary claims.

Re: Media Blackout On Cheney Iran False Flag Story

I've come to like and respect Olbermann.
But I also have learned to scrutinize each thing he reports.
It is clear that Olbermann will put a serious spin on "everything".
The clear fact that Olbermann is biased and will put a spin on everything he reports, does not mean that the information is false.
I have yet to see anything on Olbermann putting out completely false or untrue information like you see every hour on FOX.

With that being said, I have read all of the links on this story. And read all of the links from those links.
I do not see any "meat" to it.
Not enough facts.
I found nothing at all to support the story other than 1 vague mention of an unnamed source.

As it stands, I will neither believe or disbelieve the story without more proof or facts.
And I also wish that stories like this would not get reported without any shred of proof.
So I have to disagree with the part about the media blackout.
There is a media blackout because there is no proof what so ever, not because they want to hide the story.
They simply don't want to look foolish, which will be the end result with Olbermann.

This is why I do not respect Olberman he reports unproven rumors as fact.

It's difficult, at best, to find sources willing to be publicly named when the subject is highly classified documents and private meetings amongst members of the administration.

Hersh has credentials. Additionally, what he describes is entirely plausible given this administration's record for "playing it straight" and its thirst for war.
