ABSTRACT

It is commonly admitted that the press today is one of the primary apologists for capitalist societies, for the huge scandals in banana republics, and for businesses requiring government assistance. However, the fact that the press turns white into black through lies and omissions is probably not so apparent to the masses. So, we will mention some of the most recent gross examples of misinformation, systematic distortion of the truth, and disorientation and deceit of the people, which have occurred in order to serve the interests of imperialism and the local immoral grand bourgeois class. On 20 November, six bombs exploded in the center of Athens and in heavily populated areas with no specific, visible targets. Everyone connected with the press realized by whom the bombs were thrown, while others also know this from first-hand experience. Would anyone expect to find the name of the culprit in the papers? What a shortcoming. We do not see the culprit’s name in the papers, and no one talks about the CIA. On the contrary, they talk about the extreme left wing which was one of the targets of the bombs. The entire sensationalist press, taking advantage of the six CIA bombs, has begun to report increasingly on past bombs of left-wing origin rather than on the most recent six bombs.
