Russia is up and flying and throwing bombs

Ok, good start, but I am more interested in the chain of command, rather than blaming "them".

Not disagreeing with what you say, but just interested in the mechanics of it, e.g. who whispers in whose ear, and how many ears that whisper goes through and so on.

That's a very good question but the closest you will ever get to the answer is it's like defining "quality" you know it when you see it!

"They" are not going to tell you!

That's why they become "them"! - it's circumstantial.

[Woodman]

Still no answers better than "them".

Considering how many media outlets there are in the USA, that's a hell of a lot of people to control.

They are very very good at gagging people whose career is based on telling stories aye.

How is a media blackout orchestrated? and by whom?

When did you see the last strike reported in your major daily?

Wow the webpage just crashed while I was typing how it works.....

98% of world media controlled via corporate ownership and company structures so that about 6 people have total control over whats published.
The job of editor at paper, mag or tv channel is coveted job that's hard to get. Stories are closely checked for anything that might offend advertisers, let alone people who can land a rendition team on the roof with helicopters.
In journalism you have to culture contacts to trust you and give information to be able to tell a story. Just look at recent scandels in NZ news with ACC etc.... Try getting someone in govt dept to talk to media now on anything sensitive...
I totally freaked out one manager at transit just by doing basic journalism 101 and getting his number and mailing address for interview questions on minor topic.

Interestingly too, over the last 30 odd years through take-overs, buy-outs and merges, roughly 50 individual major mainstream media corporations have been reduced to about 6.

The number who control the media is getting smaller all the time.

Just add money - enough to be comfortable - dependency - debt - fear - positive/negative suggestion - manage the required outcomes!

Occasionally a righteous renegade will pop out of the woodwork - brand him a whistle-blower - publicly denounce him/her - you know the drill.

When "they" have a firm hold upon your genitals - the head and the heart will follow - carrot and stick - punishment and reward - dependants?

Your goose is cooked

History is all around you - are you debt free - do you have dependants - are you free to say and do as you like/want? - if not - why not? - can you see "them" yet!

There was a guy posted a brief comment a week or two back on Twitter. His newspaper was telling him that the BBC TV was a waste of money and should be shut down. He observed that his newspaper was owned by the same guy (Murdoch) that owned the BBCs opposition (SKY).

Wow. 6 people?
How many media outlets around the world are there? And those 6 people have to edit all of those outlets?

They must work 746hrs each day to edit them all...
Hope they get paid well.

Don't be silly.

People that wealthy don't work.

Other people carry out their orders.

We have been "informed" that there are 6 people. Only 6.
Get with the programme.

Well if we're talking only 6 major (Western) mainstream media corporations then 6 owners is probably about right.

That covers 98% of the world's media?
Those half-dozen are busy people. Vetting all the product of journalists' to make sure they are all "with the plan".
Because there IS a plan, isn't there?

[Katman]

Because there IS a plan, isn't there?

I think they're called Protocols or something.

[husaberg]

Well you could start by finding out who owns the vast majority of America's mainstream media organisations.

(Just don't mention the J word though - you'll upset Oscar, bogan and husaberk).

No one gives a shit when you use the word Jew unless you are spouting off the same tired old neo Nazi shit as you pollute all the other threads with.
The fact that quite a few people individually call what you post racist propaganda should be a hint that it is tired old racist neo nazi crap.

here (above) Katman is trying to sound clever but its straight from Wikipedia how mainstream sheep of him BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Recent media mergers in the United States

Over time the amount of media merging has increased and the amount of media outlets have increased. That translates to fewer companies owning more media outlets, increasing the concentration of ownership. In 1983, 90% of US media was controlled by fifty companies; today, 90% is controlled by just six companies.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream_media

Hmmm, so how do they know the orders have been carried out as directed?
