The Big Lie gets repeated ad nauseam. Managed, not real, news is featured. Readers and viewers are betrayed. Newspaper readership is down. Fewer Americans watch scoundrel TV news. 

Imagine if everyone held them accountable and tuned them out. Without audience numbers large enough to matter they'd wither and die. Imagine being free from their scourge. It can happen by not watching.

On July 12, The New York Times headlined "Massacre Reported in Syria as Security Council Meets."

The timing wasn't coincidental. Instead of pointing fingers the right way, The Times said unnamed "opposition activists" blamed Assad.

At least 50 are confirmed dead. "Opposition activists" claim 200. A fake video surfaced. It could have been made anywhere. Perhaps it was done on a Qatar sound stage. They produce other propaganda images there regularly. They bear no relation to stories being reported.

Al-Jazeera long ago lost credibility. Qatar controls its reports. Propaganda is featured. On July 13, it headlined "Syrian activists report new massacre," saying:

Opposition groups blame Assad. A so-called anti-government "Hama Revolutionary Council" claimed "tanks, helicopters, artillery shelling, and summary executions" killed al-Treimseh village residents.

Saying so lacks credibility on its face. Cui bono? Massacres only benefit Western interests, not Assad. Clear truisms aren't reported.
