The Extent of Lying in the U.S. Press

4 March 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

In order to fathom the extent of lying by the U.S. media, here is a summary of famous ones, each linked to proofs that the given statement (which still remains believed-in by many if not most Americans, because the truth of the matter has been censored-out by the U.S. press and ‘historians’) is false, false, false … — loaded with falsehoods:

Iraq was invaded and destroyed on 20 March 2023 because of ‘intelligence failures’, not because of lies by the U.S. President which the President knew at the time to BE lies.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 started the war in Ukraine and was aggression and absolutely unprovoked — not at all any sort of necessary defensive measure by Russia in order to prevent a Third World War between the U.S. and Russia.

China is a dictatorship that is trying to acquire Taiwan by force, if necessary, and the U.S. is the global defender of democracy and so is arming Taiwan in order that it can protect itself against Chinese aggression.

The current war in the Middle East was started by Hamas on 7 October 2023, and Israel is not the aggressor but is only defending itself as it must and should do; and, though the U.S. opposes some of the tactics that Israel is doing, the U.S. is right to be arming the only democracy in the Middle East.

The 28 February 2024 collapse, at the White House, of relations between the U.S. and Ukraine — and between the U.S. and EU — was caused by Trump’s (and Vance’s) childish demand that Zelensky be more grateful for the hundreds of billions of dollars that the U.S. Government has given to Ukraine, and was NOT caused by Zelensky’s trying to propagandize there to the American people, over the heads of Trump and Vance, to make them add to the agreement that the U.S. and Ukraine were all set to sign after this press converence, some new clauses that would make the agreement unacceptable to Russia and therefore doom any posssibility of a successful negotiation between Trump and Putin to reach a negotiated settlement of the war in Ukraine.

For an example of the U.S. media’s pouring lie upon lie about just the last-listed (which, of course, is the most recent), of those instances of the U.S. media’s systematically deceiving the American public about crucial historical events, I suggest reading the transcript of, or listening to, the National Public Radio broadcasted 3 March 2024 edition of the WBUR produced “On Point” program, titled “A meltdown in the White House over Ukraine”, in which three scholars who intensely support Ukraine against Russia set forth their false narratives about the entire matter — and totally ignore the extensive documentation that the villain in the entire Ukraine war is and has been the United States Government, which caused the war and still refuses to recognize, much less to acknowledge, that Russia’s 24 February 2022 invasion of Ukraine was a necessary defensive measure by Russia in order to prevent a Third World War between the U.S. and Russia.

For any American or person anywhere who is not aware that the peoples in non-U.S.-allied countries throughout the world consider, by overwhelming margins, that the U.S. Government is “the biggest threat to peace in the world” — far higher than is Russia or China or Iran or any of the countries that the U.S. Government is constantly trying to “regime-change” or conquer, here is the evidence of this, that — likewise — has effectively been hidden instead of reported to the peoples, the publics, by the media, throughout the U.S. empire.

It is an empire based on lies that are based on, essentially, a systematic and pervasive dictatorial censorship by the regime.

PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding — what the ‘news’-media ignore if they can, and deny if they must. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
