It really depends. Sensationalism rules supreme! What seems the most shocking and fearful way to present a story will almost always win.

So you want me to post my resume or something? You want me to ensure that I don't work at Taco Bell?
When did I claim to be a high level insider that was here to guide you into the light? I get the skepticism, but seriously?
I'm not claiming to be an Illuminati or something! Ask BOONDOCK-SAINT about that one.
I'm not claiming to have all the secrets of the media universe.
It's My first Thread! Way to throw out the welcome mat!
I've seen "snip" like this from other ATS members, it's why I have been hesitant to join or even post.
I got a deal for you...SaturnFX
Send me a PM with your resume and credentials and I will do the same.
Then everyone on ATS can rest assured that YOU have vetted my candidacy for "President".
My dog and I both have tin foil hats - but I like your tin foil design a lot better!
I have certainly seen some very sad and disturbing things during my career, and as someone who has worked for FOX News, ABC, NBC, ESPN, and even The Weather Channel
I have always felt that if money is involved, then the situation is always completely biased. Because in order to get the money from point A to point B, something has to be done to keep the people that are paying for advertising making a profit as well. I, for one, believe it is absolutely a conspiracy, but not a bunch of Satan worshiping luciferian demi-gods, rather a product of the system. People are trapped into a system where if company a,b,c don't make a profit, then boom, that news network, radio, blog, whatever, isn't going to be around either. And tbh, we are all causing the trap by allowing our government to continue to allow economics, rather than common sense determine our actions for moving forward
News is a business and a commodity and we all know news sells.
It's HOW you sell it, big bucks versus truth?
Isn't ATS a news forum, with every possible human angle portrayed, whether it's factual or made up?

Welcome officially to ATS since you have been a lurker for a while im sure you know the score here.
excuse my skepticism but we have had a spate of con artists and hoaxers in the past week. school holidays and all that. That aside i was wondering if you could elaborate on an earlier comment regarding a south american country beinga good place to be in a SHTF scenario. seemed like a strange thing to drop a line like that and not go into detail.

I'm a long time lurker and finally joined a few months ago.
A little about me:
I have worked for the MSM for over 20 years. I have been on the scene of several noteworthy events in American history during that time: the Waco standoff, OJ Trial, Tim McVeigh trial, JonBenét Ramsey Kidnapping, Columbine Shooting, not to mention all the Superbowls, Presidential visits, and Hurricanes over the years.
I have certainly seen some very sad and disturbing things during my career, and as someone who has worked for FOX News, ABC, NBC, ESPN, and even The Weather Channel, I wanted to share just a few things that I can tell you about the MSM from an inside perspective.
I have read many threads and posts on ATS regarding the inept media outlets in the US, and have seen several accusations of cover-ups, concealment of information, and even the fabrication of information. While my position has never given me direct access to some high level executive that's given me marching orders from on high, I can tell you, with all certainly, that THERE IS A CONSPIRACY IN THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA!
We in the media are always told that "it's all about the ratings!", and although that part is true for revenue, there is something else going on behind the scenes. Every assignment editor, producer, and news director knows that any story can be bent to fit a specific viewpoint, and 99% of the viewers will blindly accept whatever they are told. It's almost a running joke. I can only attest to what I've seen first hand: stories being scrapped for no apparent reason, stories grossly distorted to convey a completely different view, and other important stories that are not even covered.
The only proof I can offer is 20 years worth of experiences, of which I hope to share with ATS members as the threads and time permit.
I look forward to discussing, sharing, and learning from you all!

P.S. - I just fashioned a tin foil hat into the shape of a cowboy hat, that way it keeps the rain off my face and neck as well! Might as well be a functional kind of crazy, right?

Ok, I'll ask. What do you think about the conspiracy that certain frequencies are used in order to have a certain effect on our minds, and thus, have some amount of "control" over our minds? Surely you've heard of the 440 vs. 432 debate? And the worlds most perfectly tuned instrument, Set to 432?
Also do you have any opinion on subliminal messages (visual). And have you noticed any consistent themes of symbolism, like so called masonic/illuminati symbolism or so called reptilian symbolism?
