Just remember one word...

One simple word that destroyed many of our lives...

C O I N T E L P R O.....

It is more benificial to those in power to have us argue and distrust among ourselves a sprinkle of truth here a big lie there....

Even a good journalist can be a sucker or shill for the MIC...

Nothing is ever simple...

With that said...anyone that believes they have proof countering rebels own admissions of downing the jet in writing and recorded statements alluding to their guilt are either gulible fools or being paid handsomely to muddy the waters for sensationalism and profit....an ego trip with cash on the side...

It happens all the time...

corrected: sorry i said CON intel Pro instead of co intel pro must of been Freudian

1. It can also be as simple as access journalism.

Journalist gets insider to talk to him anonymously, promised a big scoop, journalist acts as steonographer

2. True but I am always suspect of "reliable high placed" sources and the information they disiminate.

We have been lied to and decieved so often and for so long I have a hard time trusting any US reporting.

4. of course they lie, and often times the journalist is in on the scam

Judy Miller is one example.

3. so you are accusing...

....Robert Parry, whose career was blacklisted for reporting the truth about Iran Contra, of taking money to "shill" for some entity?

The man has spent his whole career on the outside of the big time because he unflichingly and commitedly pursued the truth. He gave up money to tell the truth.

5. Yeah, no journalist is perfect.. I don't care how paranoid those are about protecting this one

or that one.

Steve Benen comes pretty close in my estimation though. Course he doesn't go in for CTs.. just the facts.. he tries really hard. He's on Maddow's Blog.

6. Some of the most gullible people are those who pride themselves on not being gullible.

That's who journalists like that target.
