“Classic was Jimmy Savile’s use of the cloak of authority and kindness. Savile’s celebrity allowed him to acquire this authority. As we consider the regulation of the media and the legal right to privacy it is worth reflecting on how the Savile scandal happened. It happened because the aura of Sir Jimmy’s celebrity protected him from scrutiny by the press.” UseKindnessHappenedMediaAuthorityPressesClassicAcquirePrivacyRegulationProtectedScandalReflectingJimmyScrutinyCloaksAurasRight To Privacy Author:Daniel Finkelstein

“The West is supporting, even financing the right-wing media, it is financing 'the opposition', encourages capital flight of billions of dollars, works closely with the local 'elites' to create 'deficits', 'uncertainty' and despair. It creates corruption scandals, and it even supports fake 'left' anti-government movements. And of course it is training and corrupting some key military cadres.” GovernmentCoursesLeftSupportMediaMilitaryMovementKeysDespairTrainingDollarsWingsWestCorruptionBillionsLocalsFlightUncertaintyFakeOppositionElitesScandalDeficitRight WingFinancingAnti GovernmentCadre Author:Andre Vltchek
“I think the media has become incredibly corrupt. We used to have a profound tradition of investigative journalism in the United States. Some journalists were real heroes, such as Bob Woodward who helped uncover the Watergate scandal. But today he is leading the opposite charge, trying to bring down the careers of people and score easy victories. In other words, those who used to bust the status quo have now become the status quo.” PeopleThinkingTryingRealStatesTodayUsedEasyUnitedCareersUnited StatesMediaHeroVictoryTraditionOppositesProfoundJournalismJournalistScoreBobStatus QuoScandalWatergateReal HeroesInvestigative Journalism Author:Marianne Williamson
