.. most of the international news
coverage in Western media is provided by
only three global news agencies based in New
York, London and Paris.
...governments, military and
intelligence services use these global news
agencies as multipliers to spread their
messages around the world.
A study of the Syria war coverage by nine
leading European newspapers clearly
illustrates these issues: 78% of all
articles were based in whole or in part on
agency reports, yet 0% on investigative
research. Moreover, 82% of all opinion
pieces and interviews were in favor of a US
and NATO intervention, while propaganda was
attributed exclusively to the opposite side.
