‘NBC Is Pravda’: Do Deceptively Edited Videos Further Corrode America’s Trust in the Media?

Feb. 1, 2013 9:18pm Tiffany Gabbay

On his Friday evening broadcast, Glenn Beck answered viewers questions concerning the seemingly endless stream of edited tapes coming out of the mainstream media, particularly NBC News and MSNBC.

Beck said that MSNBC and the greater NBC network, which has been found to have repeatedly manipulated the editing of video footage and interviews in order to support a given political agenda.

In so many words, to Beck, “NBC is Pravda.” For those not familiar, Pravda is a Russian news publication and outlet that initially served as the official newspaper of the former Soviet Union.

“NBC News and MSNBC has doctored tape, after tape, after tape to the point where they are blatant, clear lies,” Beck said. “You cannot trust NBC News. Can’t.”

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

The whole NBC organization is sold out to obama and communism. Of course they think their situation is secure and they will continue functioning as usual in a socialist world due to their propagandizing and slavish devotion to the cause. We know better. When we turn this thing around, NBC will pay dearly.

  Agreed. I have as much “trust” in the media as I have in politicians in office who take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America–NONE!

Sadly, the people who watch NBC don’t care about the lies. They don’t want to listen to the haters who tell the truth.

Pravda is BETTER than NBC. Pravda recently had the guts to call Obama what he is — a full-fledged communist. Pravda had the courage to tell Americans recently to protect and preserve the 2nd Amendment. NBC is just part of the “propaganda press” seeking to subvert and destroy our liberty and our Constitution! NBC is one of those “domestic enemies” of our Constitution that Obama promised to defend against, but instead, is complicit with its agenda!

The media has been editing stories to show other results for years, I don’t watch any national news reports at all. I got tired of their lies a long time ago.

Pravda would probably more interesting if we had the time? Most people just turn on the tv, don’t listen to what is said, as long as the person is wearing a nice outfit, and talks pleasantly, it’s all just white noise to help them concentrate on how to survive another day? The only way that changes is when you motivate make the producers, advertisers, and the delivery people to make it better?

If you know someone that watches MSNBC so much that the MSLGBT banner is BURNED into the screen…is there any hope for them? I think not, but maybe someone can provide some advice for an intervention or some other hope for them? I hate to be a ‘glass half empty’ kind of person…but, really…is our US culture and society doomed?

  There is no Amerikan media: the current crew are propagandists for the socialist dictator in the oval office. BBC is the closest thing to the truth on the airwaves and they are nothing to get too excited about either.

NBC is a Demokratchik

Demokratchik (Statist: demokра́тчик, plural demokratchiki) is a colloquial term for a full-time, professional functionary of the Progressive Leftist Socialist Communist Party or government; i.e., an agent of the governmental or party “demokrat” (Statist) that held any position of bureaucratic or political responsibility.
Members of the “demokrat” were frequently transferred between different areas of responsibility, usually with little or no actual training for their new areas of responsibility. Thus, the term demokratchik, or “agent of the statist” was usually the best possible description of the person’s profession and occupation. The sole function is to subvert any opposition to the party and promote, facilitate and expand that party power and influence. These “democratchiks” were promoted and embedded into high levels based on their ideology and not competence, education or skills.
Not all demokratchiks held lifelong positions. Many only entered such positions in middle age.
Historically, this term was derived from the Soviet “apparatchick” meaning from “Communist agent or spy”. In modern terms, Communist refers to “Statist” and a “demokratchik” is an agent whose sole purpose is to expand the State and its promote its underlying ideology.

The best thingy we can do about the left media is , never, never, never go to their site because if you do the Nelson rating with count you even if you’re their for a second. Their ratings stink, and we keep them alive by going there even if it’s for laughs. Don’t help them at all and especially MSNBC. We need to knock them out of the box.

  Calling NBC Pravda these days is actually a compliment. The only place to find accurate reporting about the US (more or less) is OUTSIDE of the US. I cut my cable 2 years ago because of the lies and shilling for progressive and corporate interests. It’s interesting, now that I am no longer bombarded by it I am much more relaxed, and much more aware of the agendas when I actually see TV now.
  
  Back away from the media – you get numb if you don’t!

In Hillary’s hitting the road for now speech on C-Span today she all but praised the media for these lies. I blame the WH for the deceit more than the media, although the media takes it on their own to further promote the lies to deceive the public. We are being used by the media and the WH for power and money….all you have to do is follow them and all will be fine…moving forward….what a joke. Sadly most people believe what they hear and even believe what they didn’t see or hear. Take a look at the people Kimmel spoke with about recent events that hadn’t even happened, but yet many had seen already…wow. Zombies know more about what they see ahead and want out of life, or no life, than most people do. We need to listen to different news sources and use our brains to think for ourselves. We used to have a special report for weird news, now all of it is classified as weird and usually false.
Thanks to Beck, a few others and Fox we still have a little sanity left in the US, but how much longer can we fight when more and more are falling asleep daily.

In the old days people sued the media for libel when they didn’t tell the truth. Maybe if people took action today instead of just ******* about it, they would be forced to tell the truth again.

Free press doesn’t mean free to lie.

The bizarre thing is that people like Gore are concerned about FOX and conservative radio, which have never faked news, while the liberal MSM is constantly fakes the news.

What could POSSIBLY go thru the mind of liberals when they see this?! Are you completely out of your minds?!

All the major networks are in on it. Omission is the same as lying. Hell, I trust Pravda more than I trust any of the big 3. Pravda is warning us of whats coming and our networks are telling us “All is well, go back to Idol”. CBS is the worst. Unemployment is up, the GDP shrunk, but thats a good thing lemmings, hey, the Bachelor is on tonight.

The worst (most dangerous) part is that most people will never know they’re being lied to.

When I look at the media (supposedly) being the forth level of checks and balances, there should be huge federal penalties for misleading the public.

Like….. life for treason through a major media outlet?

Pull their Press Credentials. Once they decide they are intent on truly reporting the news and after 2 years of exhibiting such an intent, they could be removed from probation status.

  As though the FCC and Obama/Holder DOJ would allow their State Run Media to be silenced. Goebbels is likely envious from the grave that he didn’t have the propaganda machine that Soros has handed to the Obama administration.
