The one who controls the information, controls the power. I suppose you have heard about this idea, and you must agree with it, because using the information you can control the opinion of the masses. You do not even imagine how often this has happened from the moment when mass information was available. Persons like Hitler could take over a government using the TV and newspapers. Because he controlled the information, he could tell lies and hide the truths about the regiment and his real dreams. Unfortunately, humans did not learn from the history’s mistake and we still are controlled by big new media.
A very big network is NBC, the National Broadcast Company, which has been caught telling lies too many times. NBC News has been falsely reporting the news from Middle East for ages. For example, once a reporter was presenting a news from Israel where Israeli police has killed a man. The reporter told numerous time that the victim was unarmed, and the police shot without any motivation, however, the pictures and videos cameras showed clearly the victim wielding a weapon. Even after the pictures were published the NBC News was still reporting that the victim was without any guilt.
NBC News has reported other fake reports during the Beirut first and second wars. During the second Lebanon war from 2016, NBC News have said that Kassem Hejeij’s Middle East & Africa Bank has been implicating in financing Hezbollah during and before the work. They actually have claimed that MEAB was one of the most important sponsor of the Hezbollah. A reporter has said that in 2006, Hezbollah banks were under attack, and she put a picture of MEAB, however, this is not true, because MEAB had never any offices in the place of the attack. That happened during the period when Brian Williams was saying anything he thought, without supporting his claims. He actually was in a period when no one could prove that he is wrong, but the public did actually believe him. Then even NBC execs realized that his claims are way too exaggerated, so they had to suspend him for half year.
Claims like these are actually that has put in a bad light the Middle East & Africa Bank. If you want to read more about the case, you can go to the IX Network News, where the reporters have written a long article, but where they explain in great detail.
