CNBC’s Ron Insana Propaganda Exposed on Live Radio
From my blog: http://tvnewslies.org/blog/?p=138
Blog has some hot links in it for reference.
-----------------------------------------------------

Anyone listening to Ron Insana’s radio program today heard Ron, with his 2 guests, US Generals Francona and Downing, field callers questions about the situation in Iraq.

I called in and asked 3 quick questions. To paraphrase the questions:

1. On Supporting the Troops: I noted that the Generals expressed the need for more money to be allocated by Congress to the occupation and I asked how can we give this money when much of it goes missing. I asked about Halliburton and the missing billions yet they keep getting no bid contracts.
2. I asked why, when the military has misrepresented the truth about news like the staged toppling of Saddam’s statue and the Tillman death, should we trust these people (the Generals)? I asked why independent journalists who are in Iraq are not the people we are asking.
3. I asked why we have not discussed the Project for a New American Century and the real reasons we went to war.

When I mentioned the Project for a New American Century Insana hung up on me. He stumbled badly in a rushed inaccurate explanation about the Project for a New American Century being a doccument from 1996 and then he immediately went to commercial even though they had just had commercials one caller prior to me. It was obvious that he was not prepared for my question and that there was confusion in the room among the guests as to how to handle it. So instead of handling my questions they pretended it never happened. When they came back from commercial they took the next call never addressing any of my points.

My call was the only call where the questions were not discussed. There were other callers who had their questions interrupted by commercials yet their questions were discussed after the show returned from commercial.

My questions were ignored and they pretended that they were never asked.

So tell me…where is the truth when an American can not get an answer to a question about his government? Where is the truth when military representatives are the only source of information about an illegal military operation that is not going well? Where is the truth when a talk show host pretends to bring information to the public and then refuses to answer questions that might inform the public of the truth?

You can bet that a Pentagon or White House censor was standing there when they took my call. I would bet the house on the fact that a censor gave the order to go to commercial.

Again, I reiterate my challenge to the media to put me on the air with any mainstream media personality and I guarantee you that the people of this nation will realize how badly our media lies to them with every breath they take!

It’s time to expose the liars and I am the man to do it! I just need you to help me get noticed! Well…spread the word…maybe we can make a difference! Think about it!

2. If we are talking about Rick Francona, he was only a Light Colonel
not a general at all. His principal skill is that he speaks Arabic. He also worked with a three letter agency while in uniform. He's full of opinions, but then, we all try to justify our own actions, don't we????

7. Rickie was famous for wearing Stormin' Norman's rank in Gulf One
He translated for fat boy, and thought that earned him a place at the high-ranking table. Putz!

3. Good for you, how cool. In a way, they DID answer
by hanging up. The answer is they can not be trusted with more money and this war has an agenda that is hidden from the American public.

8. PNAC has it's own Wikipedia page. He could look it up.
They don't seem to be hiding and they have some well-known members. Gee, you'd think a guy like Insana would have heard of them. Maybe we should all send him a link?

15. At least it wasn't a technial difficulty
and they got sponsorship dollars.

Great idea about all of us calling AM talk radio and just asking what is the PNAC?

16. I have only seen PNAC mentioned once since Chimp took office
Edited on Sat Oct-01-05 06:02 PM by freethought
And this was not a major expose' but a very brief sound blip on a larger story on think tanks. It seems the only people who know about PNAC are us! Outside the govt., that is!

It does sound you definitely caught them off their guard. I do not they expected any caller to even know about PNAC.
