Egypt: Harmful media lies

-DR. ABDUL RUFF COLACHAL 

_______________

World is full of lies of all sorts. It is difficult to  ascertain the  truth and facts  by isolating them from the bags of lies being churned out by the global media day in and day out. . 

Regimes love lies and  promote them as their base policy. 

Lies being spread deliberately by the corporate media do play disastrous role in the society and world and make nations hate each other. 

The best example is  the news and reports by the Egyptian media now controlled by military bosses who  are keen to revisit the Mubarak  dictatorship in Egypt. . The military boss Sisi who illegally  removed the first ever elected government of President Mursi in a coup.  The media in Egypt  just report what as the  military rulers  ask them .  Media now say civilian regimes are not good at all because they are fools and frauds and  the media nuts  claim that only military can  ensure stability and  firmness. 

Mubarak  enjoyed his dictatorship thanks to   the military support  and  military was  annoyed when the Mubarak was removed by people  though  revolution and is eager to take revenge now. 

Global mainstream media, just like  cricket commentaries do,  consistently distributes disinformation to push the war agendas of the very institutions of power that keep them on the air. 

The paid cricket commentators deliberately hide the truth about match fixings in favor of batboys; try to glorify the fake batboys with lies, while the corporate war media spread false threat perceptions saying an attack is emanating from a certain country which is in fact the target of imperialist nations. 

Ever increasing media lies indicate the mental  level of the rulers and policy strategists who expect the media to lie  in favor of the regime. . 

This type of terror hypes play havoc in the lives of people in some countries that become the target of enemies of the humanity.  

Most media portals exist devoid of real, legitimate news and since they not but unless they are fully independent from war mafias and corporate lords with hidden agendas, it becomes difficult to know to what extent their newscasts and views are imbued with spin. Independence of media as well as writers can only be ensured with no funding from governments, foundations or institutions.

Unfortunately, the real news that remains unreported, under-reported or downright manipulated by corporate news media promoting imperialist capitalism to mint more money for the media lords. .

Global media need to deliver the truth and stop deceptions so that peace is possible on earth. .

 It is time to undertake steps to battle the deliberate onslaught of disinformation by media lords as news and truth
