By The American Dream<\/strong><\/p>\n

In one of the most shocking articles that the New York Times<\/em> has ever put out, a New York Times<\/em> reporter has openly admitted that virtually every major mainstream news organization allows government bureaucrats and campaign officials to censor their stories.\u00a0 For example, almost every major news organization in the country has agreed to submit virtually all quotes from anyone involved in the Obama campaign or the Romney campaign to gatekeepers for “quote approval” before they will be published.\u00a0 If the gatekeeper in the Obama campaign does not want a certain quote to get out, the American people will not see it, and the same thing applies to the Romney campaign.\u00a0 The goal is to keep the campaigns as “on message” as possible and to avoid gaffes at all cost.\u00a0 But this kind of thing is not just happening with political campaigns.\u00a0 According to the New York Times<\/em>, “quote approval” has become “commonplace throughout Washington.”\u00a0 In other words, if you see a quote in the newspaper from someone in the federal government then it is safe to say that a gatekeeper has almost certainly reviewed that quote and has approved it.\u00a0 This is another sign that “the free and independent media” in this country is a joke.\u00a0 What we get from the mainstream media is a very highly filtered form of propaganda, and that is one reason why Americans are turning away from the mainstream media in droves.\u00a0 People want the truth, and more Americans than ever realize that they are not getting it from the mainstream media.<\/p>\n

The following quote comes from the recent article in the New York Times<\/a> mentioned above and it is absolutely jaw dropping….<\/p>\n

The quotations come back redacted, stripped of colorful metaphors, colloquial language and anything even mildly provocative. <\/em><\/p>\n

They are sent by e-mail from the Obama headquarters in Chicago to reporters who have interviewed campaign officials under one major condition: the press office has veto power over what statements can be quoted and attributed by name.<\/em><\/p>\n

Most reporters, desperate to pick the brains of the president\u2019s top strategists, grudgingly agree. After the interviews, they review their notes, check their tape recorders and send in the juiciest sound bites for review.<\/em><\/p>\n

The verdict from the campaign \u2014 an operation that prides itself on staying consistently on script \u2014 is often no, Barack Obama does not approve this message. <\/em>Click here<\/a> to continue reading this article.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
