[quote=CognitiveDissonance]It interesting how the media tries to promote the narrative as advanced by the United States Government. It very much the same tactics used when people questioned the presence of WMDs in Iraq.
They appear to be shocked when a person they interview suggests this all a psy-ops.
As in “what? Are you serious? You really believe this was fabricated?” They then totally ignore the lack of evidence and just persist in this vein.
“You really can not be serious!? Can you repeat what you said for the listening audience?” It does not matter whether the person being interviewed lays out his or her case such as.
Using the example of Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch. Mentioning the lies told about the WMDs. Pointing out that the CIA admitted openly it was fabricating Bin Laden tapes. Mentioning all of the press reports of Bin Laden having died years ago. Pointing out how the story continually changed.
All of this is talked over and ignored and the person is more or less mocked as some sort of loony for even suggesting this all faked.
The viewing audience do not see themselves as a loony so they chuckle along with the interviewer.
To add to this farce the US Government now claims they had the home in question under surveillance by the CIA for months yet in all of that time did not take a single picture of Osama Bin Laden entering or leaving.
They claim there was none which begs the question, how did they conclude he was in there?[/quote]
As someone who was on the losing end of a media war I most definitely understand the disconnect between real and reported. What I laugh at is the notion of a secret entity capable of planning and executing conspiracies that involve a lot of people and span years. We just don’t work that way. People will form coalitions to further their own personal agenda, but they will change the allies when the circumstances change. Except Borg and Chuck Norris, of course.
How did ‘they’ conclude he was in there? According to the reports, ‘they’ did not. ‘They’ concluded an important person likely lives there – bin Laden’s courier at the very least – and took the risk. That fits my experience of bystander and math major (analytical thinking and all that) who saw the details of the sausage-making process much better than alternatives.
