Hiding the News, Yet Again, at NPR

The U.S. Government propaganda arm NPR is at it again, hiding facts and distorting reality in the most egregious way in loyal service to its U.S. government masters.

Victoria Nuland, U.S. State Department chief mouthpiece/propagandist and Queen Bee, was conversing via cellphone to the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and said at one point “Fuck the EU.” (European Union.) Apparently the Russians were listening in, NSA-style, and decided to share Nuland's conversation with the world. [Both the U.S. and EU are currently supporting the violent movement there that is trying to overthrow the government.]

So how did NPR “report” this, on February 7th and 8th, 2014? With Maximum Obfuscation.
Listening to NPR, it was impossible to guess what Nuland had said. It was “a derogatory remark,” was what they said February 7th. Nuland “belittled the European Union” was the version fed NPR fed people who make the mistake of relying on it for news on February 8th, (brought to you by NPR dweeb-creep Michele Kelemen- but “NPR creep” is a bit redundant, since everyone there is a dweeb-creep, judging by their on-air personas).

Obviously if the story is something Nuland SAID, that ruffled EU feathers, we need at least a HINT of just what Nuland said! Like, “she used a curse word in referring to the EU,” or “she used the 'F' word,” or “she said 'F the EU.'”

But this kind of bend-over-backwards to protect U.S. Government officials is standard on NPR, as is their anus-tonguing interviews with high government officials. Totally useless as information.

Rated as journalism, an F. As propaganda, maybe a C.
