Following on the heals of this week’s admission by the former New York Times editor that the paper has eschewed all journalistic standards by intentionally running an anti-Trump agenda, another mainstream media whistleblower has come forward admitting that NBC has been running same program as well as running cover for ‘destructive intelligence agencies’ and the war agenda.
very useful to have all our well known suspicions confirmed from inside. there's a reason revolutions make a priority to take over the tv stations

“I’m more worried about how much we are missing. Hence my desire to take a step back and think why so little changes with regard to America’s wars,” he wrote.
He also questioned the mainstream media’s unhinged opposition to Trump’s wanting to improve US relations with Russia, North Korea, and to withdraw US troops from Syria.
“I’m alarmed at how quick NBC is to mechanically argue the contrary, to be in favor of policies that just spell more conflict and more war. Really? We shouldn’t get out Syria? We shouldn’t go for the bold move of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula? Even on Russia, though we should be concerned about the brittleness of our democracy that it is so vulnerable to manipulation, do we really yearn for the Cold War? And don’t even get me started with the FBI: What? We now lionize this historically destructive institution?”
Arkin as takes the media and James Mattis to task, points out how the anti-Trump opposition and its mainstream media adjuncts have become one unified war party:
My guess is Mattis 2020. On Syria and Afghanistan (and North Korea) Trump has the right instincts. And on national security stagnation, both in warfare and in thought. Again, he has no ability to implement or even learn but the enemies of Trump shouldn’t become the war party.
