Media conspiracy.
41 2015-02-13 by Sublimedub42
Bob Simon sadly passed away and now David Carr is dead and Sun News Network is ceasing their broadcasts. The media has taken a huge hit. Is it possible there was a big news story that they had that couldn't get out to the public? I don't know about anyone else but it seems like we have a conspiracy on our hands.

You forgot Ned Colt. He died today too. That's 3 in 2 days.
I was just about to make a post just like this. Nice to see I'm not the only one thinking this way

AND 60 Minutes Steve Kroft was disgraced through the hacked release of his texts to his former mistress.
There's so much being covered up right now that any of these guys could have been chafing under the veil of what we're not being told -- 9/11? Jeffrey Epstein? Global pedophile ring? Ukraine Coup?
Who knows? Brian Williams is such a pretty boy zero, I doubt he was on to anything serious. But Carr, Simon, Kroft, even Jon Stewart, were serious forces in news and "news."

Oh man I completely forgot about that. Wasn't the headline like Steve Kroft Guzzles Champagne From Mistresses Ass or something lmao

Something like that. And we were never told how the Murdoch-owned NYPost got its hands on the texts. From the mistress? From hacking? Who knows?

I don't get why it matters what two consenting adults do in private. Eat her eas, drink her ass, who cares?? And they say 'mistress' in all the headlines like she's an intern or something not a lawyer

Just read the times article on Carr and the wiki article on Sun News. Do you have any kind of connection other than both of them seizing to exist? It feels pretty unrelated to me although it is strange that all these + the Brian Williams scandal have occurred in such a proximity. Carr didn't look very healthy at 58, to me, anyway. Everything I'm reading just says 'he collapsed' in an NYT newsroom. Lots of things can cause a sudden collapse. I'm not on board without more evidence, but i'll keep an eye out.
EDIT: yeah Ned Colt, AND Carr had just given a talk about 'Citizenfour', the Snowden film, before his collapse. hmmm

Just FYI... people cease, not seize to exist.

Also Brian Williams. The CIA has an iron grip on all the editorial decisions in all the mainstream media. It might come out soon

Died? Or sent to Gulag until dead?
Such is life in capitalist America.

Google Hollywood Star Whackers. Theyre part of a satanic cult that sacrifices humans. Shit is fucked up.

I didn't even hear about Ned Colt! This is really coming together. ShillOutDude- Snowden film is a good start. Norway Spruce and SOD we can do this!

Meh, fuck 'em.
Edit - after checking Simon's bio, it appears he was one of the rare good ones. I take it back. Sorry.

more facts to be linked in -
Murdoch overpaid for the rights to English Football last week - Awards Season is when media studios really lay out their ad rates - Stewart also dropped out - Also the Sun dropped its Page-3 girl -
in return he got to keep his valuable properties and the access to power they all provide -
I think the media guys who all went out this week were killed or compromised by the Russian SRV - and the Russians thought they could play full-spectrum hybrid warfare in America by taking out key opposition media -
Except the Russians have no idea what oppo media is, and by sheer incompetency they think that anybody who publishes an opinion must therefore be taking bribes or deliberately smearing on behalf of some previous bribe-
Simon revealed that the Bush White House knew there were no WMDs
Carr most recently was a big cheerleader for The Interview -
Stewart probably cheated on his wife -
Williams probably had no Russian contact - probably anonymous Russian money funded whichever Veterans Group NGO began the takedown -
Much in the way the Russians saw how the murder of Anna Politkovskaya complicated Putin's political life, I assume the Russians thought the same would happen if they began to target key figures in US media -
The error occurs when it turns out that US Media is a commercial enterprise, and subject to many, many layers of scrutiny - no one agency or organization can prop up or take down one voice -
so the Russians keep killing as the Kremlin negotiates Ukraine and Crimea business in a panic over last weekend -
but the Russian killings are wide of the mark each and every time because the Russians don't realize that in the US, nobody cares about Russia or Putin very much, and nobody really pays attention -
While back home in Russia, because of the propaganda model in place, Russia's population has been mobilized to think constantly about Obama and the United States -
and the unspoken assumption is "if we in Russia are always fixated on enemy number one, then enemy number one must therefore be equally fixated on Russia"

In addition to disagreeing that Russia's got anything to do with this, I'll also point out that the Page 3 girls are back already and have been back for about a month.
