You can get a deconstruction of the media at many places. The people who visit the Treehouse want to see the entire context; The entire truth, as it presents.

So here we go….

In any endeavor of corruption and misleading governance, the control of, and support by, the media, is an absolute necessity. The USSR needed Pravda to keep the ruse of governance for decades. The need of/by the U.S. government has steadily grown over the course of several progressive decades; but the urgency has increased exponentially over the past five years with the extremes of The Obama Administration.
Yesterday another blatant example of this was clearly evident to those who are tuned in to the deceptive enterprise. However, for the sake of those who do not have the time or energy to actually track such things, here is what took place.
CNN broadcast a story about the Benghazi attacks on 9/11/12; a subject of much controversy. So much so, the administration cannot seem to get away from it because the deceptive narrative is so fundamentally false. Enter the need for the Pravda-esque media, CNN.
CNN needs to maintain an optic of middle road media in order to be effective. MSNBC is so far down the water-carrying road they are essentially useless in helping the White House except for motivating and cheerleading the base of Democrats. But CNN has a more important role, they need the illusion of journalism, as it pertains to the current U.S. administration, in order to be effective.
In the past 48 hours a series of events took place to establish the optic for their Benghazi coverage. (more…)

On the very night (tonight @10pm) that CNN will air their Benghazi story outlining the #1 Benghazi suspect walking around freely thumbing his nose at the administration,…. all of a sudden they file the very first criminal charge in the attack.   
Can they be any more obvious in their intent to frame the optic?    The current administration is laughable in such an extreme they diminish the White House.
Washington (CNN) – Federal agents and prosecutors investigating the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi have filed charges against Ahmed Khattalah, leader of a Libyan militia that officials believe was involved in the assault, people briefed on the investigation said. The charges under seal are the first criminal counts to emerge from the probe.

The investigation of the attack last September 11 that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others continues, these people said, as investigators try to build their case against Khattalah and others who authorities believe were involved.
Attorney General Eric Holder had earlier this year promised congressional lawmakers the Justice Department would soon make public what actions it would take.  (more)

The gunman who opened fire at a local Pennsylvania Municipal Town Hall was a disgruntled Democrat supporter of President Obama.

Perhaps it’s just me, but given the modern media manipulation of anti-gun narratives, I find myself breathing a sigh of relief when it comes to light the mad gunman is another supporter of Obama.    Had this been a “conservative-minded” unstable person it would be leading the national headlines 24/7.    Sad, because the first thought I want to have is  sorrow for the victims’ families;  Instead I find myself hoping not to see freedom diminish as the first thought.   I don’t like that….
(PENNSYLVANIA)  State police at Lehighton are seeking a search warrant from a district judge to search the property of Rockne Newell in the wake of the deadly shooting in Ross Township. According to Trooper First Class Michael Sniscak, troopers are expected at the scene within the hour. (more…)

Because obfuscating real crime and racism with false crimes and racism has proven to be a modern effective strategy of the BGI.   What would ‘white guilt’ be without it...
Alas the problem for the Winfrey team becomes the truth of Trayvon Martin:  A street thug, kicked out of home by his own mother, known burglar, admitted drug user, violent 17-year-old, diverted for behavioral issues by the criminal justice system, and trial evidence which clearly shows he initiated the fight with George Zimmerman which led to his own death as Mr. Zimmerman was defending himself.
But why let the facts get in the way when you have a grievance story to create and sell?
National Review – While promoting her upcoming movie about a longtime black employee of the White House, The Butler, Oprah Winfrey said an interview that the death of Trayvon Martin was the “same thing” as the lynching of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African-American boy killed in 1955 for allegedly flirting with a white woman. “Trayvon Martin — parallel to Emmett Till,” she said.

“Let me just tell you — in my mind, same thing,” she said in a preview of an interview with The Grio, an NBC [Black] News website. (more…)

If Damon had not pontificated and belittled parents and families who chose private and/or homeschooling this would not be an issue.    Alas, to understand how blazingly hypocritical this is, just visit his earlier advocacy.

Ironically, in the argument Damon was making [August 2011] about all public teachers deserving tenure, the reporter was using experience from Los Angeles as an example of tenure leading to poor, unmotivated teachers. Two years later Matt Damon moves to Los Angeles and, gee, guess what happens…. (more…)

What you saw play out within the George Zimmerman trial with “Witness #8” is taking on national proportions.   It is one thing to protect a witness, it is quite another thing to intentionally create an entire fabrication of false information simply to hide the origin of the accusation which frames the charge(s).   In essence, lying to the court.

(6th Amendment) In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.  (link)

(Reuters) – A secretive U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration unit is funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans.
Although these cases rarely involve national security issues, documents reviewed by Reuters show that law enforcement agents have been directed to conceal how such investigations truly begin – not only from defense lawyers but also sometimes from prosecutors and judges.
The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to “recreate” the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant’s Constitutional right to a fair trial. If defendants don’t know how an investigation began, they cannot know to ask to review potential sources of exculpatory evidence – information that could reveal entrapment, mistakes or biased witnesses.

Good article at American Thinker – with one flaw. The last line.
Learning from Rachel Jeantel – To quote Nancy Pelosi, we can now see what’s in the Zimmerman-Martin case “without the fog of the controversy”. I think the biggest lesson to be learned was from Rachel Jeantel, a friend of Trayvon Martin that testified at the trial.

Rachel Jeantel has just had her 15 minutes. Predictable packaged responses full of defensive fury were covered very well by Thomas Lifson’s AT article. The left has exhausted her value by attacking and chiding all white people about the racist thoughts they have decided we are feeling. They skipped the fact-gathering and evidence stage and went right for the punishment in a fawning and self-righteous defense of someone not really under attack. I have to hand it to libs, they stand by their own and as long as anyone remembers the girl’s name, she will be one of their own. Their message regarding Ms. Jeantel is: (more…)

It amazes me how weak the mainstream media is at connecting dots.  Well, that is, until I remind myself they carry so much water for this administration they dispatch news stories quickly and do not ponder.  What we do not discuss – we do not connect.
The embassies are closed.   People are asking what is the risk?  Who is the risk?

Do you really want to know?   Really? 

It ain’t tough to figure out.   You just have to learn a new set of constants. (more…)

Meanwhile the man who organized the hoax has a full time TV show on MSNBC and continues his race-baiting enterprises……  Go look up the entire story of *how* Tawana Brawley was handled, and you’ll see how eerily similar it is to Rachel Jeantel….
New York Post – Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana Brawley is finally paying for her lies.
Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.
A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six months of Brawley’s wages as a nurse there.
She still owes Pagones $431,000 in damages. And she remains defiantly unapologetic.
“It’s a long time coming,” said Pagones, 52, who to this day is more interested in extracting a confession from Brawley than cash. (more…)

Police in Gulfport have requested a local DA to file a charge against a bus driver for failing to be George Zimmerman.    Well, kinda…  watch the video and you’ll see the issue:

What is really at play here is *why* the bus driver did not engage to assist. However, against the demands of the Natalie Jackson types for young black males to be left alone to roam at will and never challenged, he was, and is, between a racial rock, and a racist hard place.
One can only imagine how the BGI and NAACP would approach the driver if he did step forth to defend the white student from the mob beating.  [Think, “he shoulda stayed in his car seat]  After all, according to the Sharpton, Jackson and Jealous contingent, this beatdown could not be considered racist because the victim was white.
Here’s more (more…)
