Hillary Clinton: 'We Are Losing the Infowar'

rodstradamus
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a tacit admission during a U.S. Foreign Policy Priorities committee meeting yesterday, arguing that the State Department needs more money because the US military-industrial complex is “losing the information war” to the likes of Russia Today and Al Jazeera due to the US corporate media having completely abandoned “real news”.

“We are in an information war and we are losing that war,” warned Clinton, in a bid to rustle up more money to fund propaganda to compete with foreign news media, sending a clear message that stations such as Russia Today, which regularly provides a platform to the likes of Alex Jones, Max Keiser, Wayne Madsen, Paul Craig Roberts and Webster Tarpley, are winning the infowar against the globalists.

linton noted that, “The Russians have opened up an English language network. I’ve seen it in a couple of countries and it’s quite instructive,” referring to Russia Today, which is now seen all over the world and is a trailblazer in reporting hardcore subjects that the castrated US media dare not touch, such as 9/11 truth, the Bilderberg Group meetings, as well as globalist involvement in hijacking the wave of revolutions currently sweeping across the Middle East and North Africa.
While the US media remains obsessed with polarizing left-right talking head nonsense, the likes of Al Jazeera, China’s CCTV and Russia Today are “winning” and attracting more viewers because they concentrate on reporting “real news,” according to Clinton.
“You may not agree with it, but you feel like you’re getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which is not particularly informative,” said the former First Lady.

“I remember having an Afghan general tell me that the only thing he thought about Americans is that all the men wrestled and the women walked around in bikinis because the only TV he ever saw was Baywatch and World Wide Wrestling,” said Clinton, acknowledging the fact that American television is now so dumbed down that it is negatively shaping international perceptions of the United States.
“Our private media, particularly cultural programming often works at counter purposes to what we truly are as Americans,” said Clinton, alluding to the fact that US television has now reached such a lowest common denominator level that it is harming the very fabric of society.
Of course, Clinton, a CFR member and a leading globalist, couldn’t care less about harming the fabric of society, but she is obviously panicked about the fact that the US corporate media is now so distrusted and disparaged that it is rapidly losing its value to the US military-industrial complex as a vehicle through which to sell wars and hoodwink the public into swallowing official explanations behind staged crises that are used to eviscerate their freedoms and livelihoods.

    • Note to Hilary, many Americans have turned their back on mainstream television news because of the very things you articulate.

      Why don't you roast the likes of Fox, Comcast and GE for providing American's with crap television.

      I have to laugh at these things , they are so absurd . Yes , the United States Media IS absurd . I miss the liberal media in the '70 s . THAT was liberal media , It was fun , it was fair ( many viewpoints ) and interesting , more sex , less violence . NOW we are lucky if an important story gets mentioned , let alone investigated . Thank goodness for current and the internet , you can check some things out from other sources .

      I love how these politicians run to get on the right side of an issue when they see which way the wind is blowing. We need to start laughing at them before they are put into power. We need a truth in broadcasting law.

    • I listen to World radio network on my long drives home at night (1 1/2hrs). You get many different world radio new services and the information from most of them is better then CNN radio, MSNBC radio, and any of the other "news" stations. We probably have some of the worst news services in the world.

    • I travel a fair amount each year and I can vouch (and have so done for years) that the quality and quantity of actual news and information a US citizen can get is in exact ratio to the distance from US corporate media.
      It's slightly better on BBC, still better in France or Spain, and much better on Al Jeezera. Even with an obvious axe to grind, Russia's English language programs are more informative than the drivel oozing out of CNN, etc.
      Fox, of course, is an evil manufactured world of it's own.
      Just as tragically, the same staggering disparity is true for medical care in the US, and even, to great extent, the public food supply.
      A canned and toxic corporate culture thoroughly dominates the United States now. If you want a portion of almost anything healthy and meaningful you have to escape, and get outside the US Corporate Curtain.

    • Hilarious, exactly what we've been saying for years! Go Current.Tv filling the massive Void, the real news is what people want. 7% less viewership of the Oscars this year, gee I think people are waking up.

    • She is very late and obviously part of the problem. She speaks just enough truth to be dangerous and polluting to the whole truth.

    • Secretary of State is trying to impress how in touch with reality she is? Now I can sleep at night knowing for sure she is an alien.

    • Americans get more truthful news outside of the US, and from a former Communist nation no less.

      That's a pretty sad fuckin reality.

    • Hillary....

      Of course you are losing. Hypocrites should always lose. American Empire, the Drug War, Globalist War on the Working Classes are all obvious reasons the USA fails. When are you and numbnuts Obama going to grow up!

    • ... It just sucks that average Americans are so caught up in bullshit we are falling way behind to the rest of the world. It makes me wish I was born somewhere with less ignorance in society.

    • The rest of the world is changing and struggling to make progress, some groups from other countries such as India have figured out how to take advantage of American idiocracy. I know half the clubs downtown aren't owned by Americans. You might say it's because we are diverse, but no. We're either really rich because we are sociopathic crooks or we are part of the growing impoverished population now that the middle class will soon be dead. I might not afford to finish school without loans keeping me in debt the rest of my life because my parents make too much combined income for me to deserve financial aid, yet what's the point? All the jobs are disappearing because our government is so screwed up from the inside.... I'm better off becoming a drug dealer.

    • I have been hoping that current TV news under Olbermann doesn't become a MSNBC incarnation and spend a fourth of their time bashing fox and half the time bashing the GOP and a fourth on the daily news. I hope 100% on truthful daily news that does stories that the corp News wouldn't touch. I do hope they do hour long specials on REAL issues. And the Bilderberg deal I know My former Governor did one of his conspiracy theory episodes on this I would like to know if there is truth to this.

      I don’t think so. He did FOK News just as a simple jab at FOX. I think his rivalry with FOX had a lot to do with the ratings battle between them and MSNBC and O’Reilly’s attack on GE (MSNBC’s Parent Company). I think Keith will see this as his opportunity to blaze his own trail. I doubt he will get bogged down worrying about FOX. Countdown did not dwell on that other than Worst Persons.

      Me too.

      But since Olbermann will be CNO (Chief News Officer) I hope that means a new vision for news. Also take into consideration that Current TV has always tried to create a new paradigm for television, albeit unsuccessfully.

    • Not to the State Department! Give more money to PUBLIC MEDIA, let truthful & factual information flow from the independently functioning public media. There is no way we can depend on information coming from the States Department as being any more truthful than that coming from Fox News.

    • Secretary of State Clinton is absolutely right. Anyone watching "news" or what passes for it in the United States would think that all we care about is Charlie Sheen, Christina Agulera (spelling?) getting arrested for drunk in public, falling off a stage or pulverizing the National Anthem; or any number of stupid crap. They wouldn't know that there is a real crisis going on in Wisconsin or Ohio. Anyone watching the "news" here sees that it is nothing but mindless arguing over nothing. It has come down to "if a liberal says this well then it has to be wrong". It is all about arguing and getting nothing accomplished.

    • If Current TV adds RT, that would be a great addition! I love Max Keiser. This station always talks about the real news. And the truth about our economic woes especially.

    • Everybody send an email to Keith asking for citizen journalism to be a part of his programming.

      Keith will be the CNO (Chief News Officer) of Current TV.

    • Current TV will be adding news broadcasting later this year. We have the opportunity to become the World Leader of REAL news. Lets hope everyone works hard at that.
