Hearst Corporation

Hearst Corporation is one of a handful of huge media corporations who together have virtually complete control of all flow of information.

What kind of information does the Hearst Corporation provide?

The Hearst Corporation on 911

A typical example of Hearst Corporation propaganda:

• Popularmechanics: 9/11: Debunking The Myths (6)
  • Some Left academics and peace movement theorists still vehemently support the official story
    • "Whoever the so-called experts are, Popular Mechanics is certainly an ally of the US government, to say the least. Its new owner has lifelong connections with the CIA, its editors were sacked a few months before this lavishly financed relaunch issue."
    • "One is a brief plug for the CIA linked magazine Popular Mechanics, the second is a preposterous statement from Milan Rai, a disciple of Noam Chomsky (who does NOT hold Milan's view, so far as I know). Rai's view echoes the position of people like Norman Soloman and David Corn on the establishment US Left and astonishingly the editors of medialens.org, which we used to recommend when they saw through the lies about the Iraqi WMD."
  • Popular Mechanics' Deceptive Smear Against 9/11 Truth
  • Popular Mechanics Attacks Its "9/11 LIES" Straw Man
    • "It gives the false impression that these claims, several of which are clearly absurd, represent the breadth of challenges to the official account of the flights, the World Trade Center attack, and the Pentagon attack. Meanwhile it entirely ignores vast bodies of evidence showing that only insiders had the means, motive, and opportunity to carry out the attack."
  • How the Bush regime uses nepotism to conceal it's dark secrets about 9/11
    • "But the March 2005 issue of Popular Mechanics (PM) plumbs new depths of nepotism and Hearst-style "yellow journalism" with its cover story about 9/11. PM's senior researcher, 25-year-old Benjamin Chertoff, authored a propagandistic cover story entitled "Debunking 9/11 Lies" which seeks to discredit all independent 9/11 research that challenges the official version of events."
    • "With high federal offices being given to the wives, sons and daughters of senior members of the Bush administration, the Hearst Corporation executives that publish Popular Mechanics magazine probably didn't worry about the ethical considerations of hiring a cousin of Michael Chertoff, a former Assistant Attorney General and the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as senior researcher."
