TVNL Editor's Comments: ENOUGH with the “Discredit” Argument

I find it quite unbelievable that so many people feel that they can simply “discredit” an article or a source for pretty much any reason they want. It cracks me up when someone finds a typo, or a minor factual error somewhere on a 500 page web site and uses that as a reason to discredit one of my articles or me personally.

If you were dying and a doctor operated on you to save your life, would you discredit him/her if he/she charted your weight incorrectly by adding a zero or two? Would you now be dead because your weight was written down incorrectly or because your doctor chose to write with a crayon?

These self declared authorities never take the time to correct my errors or ask me to clarify my point. They simply discredit my entire body of work. Some people have even been so stupid as to question my credibility because of the design I chose for my website? Because they feel that the design of my web site is not professional enough for them they take it upon themselves to declare that I am not a credible person. I would like to take a moment to call these illogical people idiots. I have other thoughts about these people but I’ll leave it at that.

I am not an artist. I am not a graphic designer or a web marketing expert. I still have problems spelling my own name and I have mild dyslexia. My mother still helps me with spelling even the simplest of words. I make other mistakes too. I also have an open disclaimer on my site where I open myself to input from people who can help correct me when I am less that accurate.

That being said I will also say this…to date I have yet to find a single individual, organization or institution that has analyzed media deception as accurately as I have. I spot deception that nobody else seems to find and that is a fact. Many of my observations have surprised and impressed many of the established icons of media analysis and I am now a respected player in the world of media watchdogs.

I know this newsletter is more of verbal patting of my own back, but there is an underlying point for everyone here. The use of the “discredit” argument has to be ended. A valid point, article, opinion, discovery, invention, observation or contribution of nay kind must always be evaluated on its own merit. The use of the “discredit” argument is most often used by people who can not otherwise find fault with something or someone with whom they disagree. It is the old story about shooting the messenger if you can not defeat the message. Well someone has to say this once and for all; if the message is valid the envelope is not relevant and the messenger’s imperfections are not necessarily relevant.

Evaluate the message. If you find fault in that message, correct it and contact the messenger. You will quickly discover how credible the messenger is by the response you get. Simple little formula for evaluating credibility; wouldn’t you say? Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

QUESTION: Have you forwarded this e-mail to anyone today? Consider doing so for you will be helping to inform the people of this nation about the vital issues that are hidden from them by our corporate media. Make this nation a better place, educate, inform and enlighten your fellow citizens!

If you believe that the American corporate media are our greatest enemy let the people know how you feel.

POLITICS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics

· Former congressman to be named White House budget director - Current U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman will be named this morning by the White House as its new Director of the Office of Management and Budget, sources tell CNN.

· State Department Memo: '16 Words' Were False - Eleven days before President Bush's January 28, 2003, State of the Union address in which he said that the US learned from British intelligence that Iraq had attempted to acquire uranium from Africa - an explosive claim that helped pave the way to war - the State Department told the CIA that the intelligence the uranium claims were based upon were forgeries, according to a newly declassified State Department memo.

· The Many Parallels Between Watergate And N.H. Phone-Jamming Scandal... - It has low-level Republican operatives involved in dirty campaign tricks. It has checks from donors with murky backgrounds. It has telephone calls to the White House. What is unclear is whether it is the work of a few rogue actors, or something larger.

· Bush's new chief of staff invites aides to leave before shake-up - Signaling a possible shake-up among President Bush's senior advisers, the new White House chief of staff told top presidential aides Monday to expect changes that "refresh and re-energize the team." He invited anyone who is thinking of leaving before year's end to do so now.

· UPDATE PENDING

9/11 News : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#911

· The Three Stages Of Truth Regarding 911 - Great lies have the burden of truth pressing upon them, constantly, incrementally, compounding weight like interest. Truth crushes the lie slowly and then the resounding crash occurs suddenly. Years later, students will laugh and wonder how anyone could ever be so stupid as to believe a discredited lie.

CONGRESS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#congress

· Democratic Congressmen ask Bush about reports of US military operations in Iran - Two Democratic Congressmen have written letters to President Bush on the heels of a growing number of news reports that American forces may have already begun military operations in Iran

· Donations for a Congressman, Profits for His Wife - On Capitol Hill, there is widespread agreement that the annual congressional salary of $165,200 just does not go far enough on today's dollar. The clamor for ethics reform will likely make things tougher, forcing congressmen to pick up lunch and dinner tabs and pay their own way to Redskins games.

· Congress Approval at 12-Year Low - According to an April 10-13, 2006, Gallup Poll, 23% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, while 70% disapprove. The current approval score is slightly below the 25%-27% range seen since January.
TVNL Comment: How can the approval rating be that high?

· Making Right Turn, McCain Embraces Falwell - But political watchers — and even Falwell — say McCain is trying to repair relations with the religious right to boost his chances of winning the Republican Party's nomination.

DOMESTIC : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#domestic

· Protesters may get charged for free speech - "Governments don't tax the exercise of constitutional freedoms, that's why we have municipal budgets and publicly funded police departments," Simon said. "People don't pay to exercise their First Amendment rights, that is contradictory to how the Constitution works."

· NYPD Deploying 500 Security Cameras Throughout City... - They were the first installment of a program to place 500 cameras throughout the city at a cost of $9 million. Hundreds of additional cameras could follow if the city receives $81.5 million in federal grants it has requested to safeguard Lower Manhattan and parts of midtown with a surveillance "ring of steel" modeled after security measures in London's financial district.

· Blood on Our Hands - This country, my country, has already become a fascist police state. Our government lies to the people, spies on citizens, kidnaps, imprisons without trial, engages in torture, and is leading the country to ruin. Incredibly, all of this is done with the support of its citizens. How is this possible? How can a democratic government abandon the people it serves and squander blood, treasure, and traditions in an irrational pursuit of global domination? - First, realize that the government no longer serves the people. It has been bought by the transnational corporate power structure and serves them, and is now simply the military arm of the corporations.

· Parks Feel '80 Percent' Squeeze - The Bush administration has ordered America's national parks to show that they can function at 80 percent or less of their operating budgets, which is forcing some parks to cut services for visitors as summer approaches.

ENVIRONMENT : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#environment

· The great betrayal: Pro-hunting Japanese seize control of whaling commission - Through a lengthy, covert operation, Japan is poised to seize control of whale hunting - and that spells disaster for the endangered mammal

· Bush Admin. Classifies Golf Traps, Man-Made Ponds As "Wetlands"... - Interior Secretary Gale Norton called a press conference to claim our long nightmare of wetlands loss had finally come to an end due to unprecedented gains since 1997 (click hear to read the report she cites). However, she then admitted much of that gain has been in artificially created ponds, such as golf course water hazards and farm impoundments.

· Mass whale deaths tied to U.S. Navy sonar, report says - The U.S. Navy's deployment of active sonar to detect submarine activity is believed to have been responsible for at least six incidents of mass death and unusual behavior among pods of whales in the last 10 years, according to a recent U.S. Congressional Research Service report.

· Is This Humanity's First Planetary Emergency? - There's a New Level of Concern About the Coming Effects of Global Warming

INTERNATIONAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#international

· China, Russia welcome Iran into the fold - The SCO is not a military bloc but is nonetheless a security organization committed to countering terrorism, religious extremism and separatism. SCO membership would debunk the US propaganda about Iran being part of an "axis of evil".

· India won't commit to US on atomic testing - India said on Monday it would make no explicit commitment to the United States not to conduct fresh nuclear tests as part of a landmark civilian atomic cooperation agreement.

· US to Palestinians: Vote, then starve; democracy as instrument of mass control - To make sure not one red cent of US taxpayer money winds up in the hands of Hamas, Congress also stopped all indirect aid to the occupied Palestinian territories, cutting some $240 million in development and assistance projects. - At the same time, US humanitarian assistance to Palestinians was increased 57 percent, to $287 million. That works out to an extra $105 million, which, if actually delivered as direct aid, would amount to $23 for every Palestinian, enough to maintain their present poverty level for about 12 days.

· Bombing in Tel Aviv kills 5: medics - A suspected Palestinian suicide bomber killed at least five people at a sandwich stand in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv on Monday and wounded dozens more, medics said.
TVNL Comment: This follows a long quiet period in Israel and interestingly enough it also follows a 60 Minutes report on suicide bombers in Israel. It is like 60 Minutes was preparing the public to accept that certain people did this.

· Iran suicide bombers ‘ready to hit Britain’ - IRAN has formed battalions of suicide bombers to strike at British and American targets if the nation’s nuclear sites are attacked. According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers are ready for action.

· ENOUGH with the “Discredit” Argument - Evaluate the message. If you find fault in that message, correct it and contact the messenger. You will quickly discover how credible the messenger is by the response you get. Simple little formula for evaluating credibility; wouldn’t you say?

· The Most Evil People in the World - I have come to the conclusion that the Christian fundamentalists, also known as the religious right, are the most evil people in the world. Others (such as those of various Islamic terrorist groups) were considered, but after due consideration, the Christians won……. hands down. In fact it was no contest.

· A Small-Time Crime With Hints of Big-Time Connections Lights Up the Net - In 2002, there was a hard-fought Senate race between Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, the Democrat, and John Sununu, the Republican. On Election Day, Democratic workers arrived at five get-out-the-vote offices to find their phone lines jammed. It turned out that the jamming was being done by an Idaho telemarketing firm that was being paid by a Virginia consulting group. The fee for the jamming, reportedly $15,600, was paid by New Hampshire Republicans.

· True believers? - I am amazed that, in this post 9/11 political atmosphere, there is still a segment of the American people who believe in what the Bush administration tells them.

· Asleep all over America - Some people are seriously suggesting that the Constitution should be ignored, because it puts people's rights above Presidential power. Can Americans truly be this stupid?

JOURNALISM & MEDIA : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#media

· 'N.Y. Times' vs. 'Wash Post' in Editorial 'Leak' Battle - It’s war. No, not Sunni vs. Shia in Iraq, but The New York Times editorial page vs. its Washington Post counterpart.

HEALTH & SCIENCE : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#health

· Study shows the public is turning to alternative medicine and away from dangerous prescription drugs - A study published in April 2005 revealed that more than 70 percent of adults aged 50 or older are now using some form of alternative therapy. This includes medicinal herbs, meditation and chiropractic care. The fact that these people are adopting alternative medicine and using it in their own lives is fascinating in and of itself, but what is really fascinating about this research is the response it has been getting from the conventional medical community.
