MEDIA DISTORTS OUR PICTURE OF THE WORLD.
THE WORLD AND ITS REALITY IS WIDE AND DYNAMIC. THE WESTERN MAINSTREAM MEDIA OFFERS ONLY LIMITED AND STATIC ANGLE OF VIEW.
WHO ARE CRIMINALS, WHO HEROES?
The power media uses misleading expressions. "Globalization" is an appropriate cover word used to hide the worldwide robbery capitalism. There are many types of "terrorism". Imperialist state terrorism carried out with mass destruction weapons is the worst form of terrorism. However, in the mainstream media the word has been used in a distorted sense to include all fight against capitalism. By this flim-flam trick communists and other progressive people are attempted to be labeled terrorists.
Lies of the western power mass media are often so big that people cannot doubt them. Yet justifying wars and political aggressions is based on those intentional lies and misinterpretations.

POWER MEDIA IS CAPITALISM´S IDEOLOGICAL WEAPON.
THEY SAY THAT IN THE FORMER SOCIALISMS IN EASTERN EUROPE THE MEDIA WAS ONE-SIDED. THIS IS POSSIBLE. YET THIS FEATURE IS NOTHING COMPARED WITH THE CONTEMPORARY BOURGEOIS MEDIA CULTURE, WHERE IDEOLOGICAL DISCUSSION AND HANDLING OF NEOLIBERALISM´S PROBLEMS IS IN PRACTICE FORBIDDEN.
THE WESTERN MEDIA TRANSMITS MAINLY NEWS BY THE BIG INTERNATIONAL NEWS BUREAUS. THESE NEWS ARE MOSTLY UNDERSTOOD AS TRUTHS.
YET THE CONTENTS OF MANY NEWS MAY BE QUITE DIFFERENT WHEN LOOKING AT THEM FROM AN INTELLECTUAL THEORETICAL POINT OF VIEW.
IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HISTORICAL POINT OF VIEW HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN OR NEWS ABOUT EVENTS AND REASONS ARE DISTORTED.
CHARACTER OF THE HISTORICAL PROCESSES IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. WARS, FOR INSTANCE, ARE EXCELLENT BUSINESS FOR ARMS PRODUCERS AND FOR SENSATION-ORIENTED MEDIA. REASONS OF WARS ARE NOT HANDLED AT ALL OR THEY APPEAR AS EDITORS´ SUBJECTIVE AND NON-SCIENTIFIC SPECULATIONS.
CONTENTS OF NEWS IS USUALLY BORING. NEWS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR DECISIONMAKERS. ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE MORE INTERESTED IN THEIR OWN CONDITIONS OF LIFE THAN FOR INSTANCE IN NEWS OF STOCK EXCHANGE RATES. MEDIA LIFTS UP AVERAGE ECONOMIC FIGURES. THESE NUMBERS DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN MISERY.
AN ESSENTIAL PROBLEM IN CAPITALISM IS UNEMPLOYMENT. ACCORDING TO MEDIA´S PERMANENT CLICHÉ CAPITALISTS CREATE JOBS. THE TRUTH IS JUST THE OPPOSITE. CAPITALISM NEEDS UNEMPLOYMENT. IN AN INTELLECTUAL SOCIETY UNEMPLOYMENT IS AN ABSURD IDEA. THE WORLD IS FULL OF WORK TO BE DONE.
HOW DIFFICULT PEOPLE´S LIFE EVER MAY BE, THE MEDIA PRAISES THE EXCELLENCY AND PROSPERITY OF THE CAPITALIST ECONOMY AND SOCIETY. HOWEVER, ALSO IN DEVELOPED AND INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES THE LEVEL OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR SERVICES GOES DOWN AND THE PRICES FOR LIVING GO UP. THREAT OF UNEMPLOYEMENT EXISTS ALL THE TIME. PEOPLE USE TO BELIEVE IN THE POWER MEDIA LIKE IN THE EMPEROR´S NEW CLOTHES.
MEDIA LOOKS AT THE WORLD FROM THE SIMPLE BOURGEOIS POINT OF VIEW. PERSONAL AFFAIRS OF CELEBRITIES OR COMMERCIAL SPORTS ARE USUAL TITLES OF NEWS. IN 2002 BILLIONS OF STARVING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD IS NOT A MATTER WORTH DISCUSSING.
THE BOURGEOIS INFORMATION CULTURE IS ON THE OF LEVEL OF ENTERTAINMENT IN PRESCHOOL. THE EDITORS AND OTHER OPINIONMAKERS ARE DEMANDED TO RESPECT CAPITALISM AND THE BOURGEOIS CULTURE. FOR INSTANCE, NO SCHOOLING OR EXPERT KNOWLWDGE ON SOCIAL SCIENCES IS NECESSARY FOR PEOPLE WHO HANDLE SOCIAL ISSUES.
SELECTING TOPICS AND ANGLES OF VIEW IS THE CRUCIAL STAGE WHEN PRODUCING NEWS. THE INTERNATIONAL NEWS BUREAUS MAINTAIN THE CAPITALIST IDELOGICAL CONTROL ON THIS RRESPECT. THE NATIONAL BOURGEOIS MEDIAS FOLLOW NICE AND EASY.
SINGLE SHORTCOMINGS OF CAPITALISM MAY BE CRITICIZED, BUT CAPITALISM AND NEOLIBERALISM AS SYSTEM IS SACRED FOR THE MEDIA.
COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING AND MANY TYPES OF ENTERTAINMENT IN MASS MEDIA INCLUDE OFTEN ALSO COMPONENTS OF POLITICAL PROPAGANDA.
THE ACCELERATING CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP OF THE MASS MEDIAS MAKES THE SITUATION STILL WORSE.
THE MAINISTREAM MEDIA HAS CREATED DISCUSSIONAL ATMOSPHERE WHERE NO IMPORTANT ISSUES ARE HANDLED. ALL ATTENTION HAS BEEN FIXED IN TRIVIALITIES.
THE FEAR OF COLLAPSE OF WORLD CAPITALIST SYSTEM REFLECTS IN MEDIA´S DISTORTION OF TRUTH AND OFTEN IN HYSTERIC ATTACKS AGAINST EVERYTHING WHICH REFERS TO SOCIALISM BY ANY MEANS.
THE MEDIA DOES ITS BEST TO COVER REAL CLASS- AND GEOPOLITICAL CONTRADICTIONS OF THE WORLD. INSTEAD OF POLITICAL REALITY MEDIA OFFERS US MEETINGS OF MEDIOCRE POLITICIANS AND THEIR SMALL TALK WITHOUT MEANINGFUL CONTENTS.
IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED WESTERN COUNTRIES MEDIA HAS SUCCEEDED TO CREATE A CULTURAR VACUUM, WHICH OFFERS AN EXCELLENT BASIS FOR ABSURD RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS, FOR USE OF ALCOHOL AND DRUGS AND FOR OTHER FORMS OF ALIENATION.
CRIME NEWS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF CONTENTS OF THE COMMERCIAL MEDIA. CRIMES ARE GOOD SENSATIONS TO SELL. POLICE CHASES ROBBERS AT NEWSPAPERS´ PAGES LIKE IN CHILDRENS´ PLAYS. IN THE REAL WORLD THE ARROGANT CRIMINALS SIT IN QUARTERS OF CAPITALISM. AN ORDINARY MAN HAS OFTEN EVEN NO POSSIBILITY TO LIVE WITHOUT BREAKING THE LAWS WHICH THE RULING CLASS HAS BUILT IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.
DIGITAL TV AND OTHER NEW TECHNICAL SYSTEMS MEAN MOSTLY JUST STILL MORE EFFICIENCY IN SPREADING OF TRIVIAL INFORMATION. PLAIN TECHNICAL DEVELOPEMENT WITHOUT CONTENTS IS NO PROGRESS.
NEXT CHAPTERS ARE CREATED IN ORDER TO FORM MORE TRUE PICTURE OF POLITICS AND ECONOMICS OF OUR WORLD.
MANY ISSUES AT THE KOMINFORM PAGES ARE IN SHARP CONTRADICTION WITH THE INFORMATIONAL CONTENTS GIVEN BY THE BOURGEOIS MEDIA. HANDLING OF THESE ISSUES IS BASED ON AUTHENTIC AND RELIABLE SOURCES.
WESTERN MEDIA CULTURE CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY OF VIOLENCE AND OF "STRUGGLE FOR POWER". IN THE REAL WORLD PEOPLE ARE MOSTLY NOT LIKE THAT. OBVIOUSLY THE MEDIA EDITORS THINK ALL PEOPLE ALL LIKE THEMSELVES.

Superlies by the western power mass media.
Lies and doctored items by the US imperialism 1998 - 2007.
"The Racak massacre" and the Hague kangaroo court.
"Libya responsible for the Lockerbie incident" and the Camp Zeist "trial". "Libya has officially admitted guilty for the Lockerbie-tragedy"
"Cuba produces bioweapons"
"North Korea threatens its neighbours with nukes"
"Iraq threatened USA and all the world with mass destruction weapons.
"Iran has nuke program", "Iran protects terrorists"
"The U.S had no advance information of the 9-11 incidents. Bombings, killings and occupation of Afghanistan were justified because of fight against terrorism".
These claims can be disproved by real documentations or they can be indicated to be nothing but speculations without any sources.

Contemporary News Speak
"Today, there are certain things one can't say in the face of public opinion:
* capitalism wears the stage name "market economy"
* imperialism is called "globalization"
* the victims of imperialism are called "developing countries", much as a dwarf might be called a "child"
* opportunism is called "pragmatism"
* treason is called "realism"
* poor people are called "low-income people"
* the right of bosses to lay off workers with neither severance nor explanation is called "a flexible labour market"
* World Free Trade Organization = the enormous global system of rules, laws and bureocracy targeted to restrict trade between states on political basis.
and so forth...
The infomational systems of existing socialist states differ crucially with the western media. Socialist media focuses mainly on essential social issues. It is not necessary for socialist media to try to attrack people with sensations and secondary news because of commercial reasons.
An organization by the name "Reporters Without Borders" tries to introduce itself as a defender of freedom of press. Yet it is an espionage body ot the CIA. Even the U.N. is aware of this fact.
