One among many of the most startling developments I've noticed in this post 9/11 world has been gradual the decline of US mainstream media into pure propaganda organs of the ruling capitalist class. Never have journalistic standards have been so low in the US. Parry has also noticed this, and he points to the irony of recent remarks made by Kissinger, one of the most aggressive figures in the Empire's quest for domination, which disputes some of the most outrageous lies spewed daily over mainstream media.
The American public is faced with an information crisis as the New York Times and other mainstream U.S. media outlets have become little more than propaganda organs on behalf of the neoconservative agenda and particularly the rush into a new Cold War with Russia – so much so that even ex-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has broken ranks.
