Baltimore Police Blasted For Dishonesty & Propaganda On Twitter

Apologies, but If you can get past the rough audio (mobile recording, bad mic), I pretty well blast the Baltimore Police Department twitter foolishness and dishonesty.

Baltimore Police claim 70,000 followers, but they're at least 50% fake!

NBC News = NoBody Credible -- Brain Williams Bashed By Baltimore Sun

Mainstream Media Lie Caught... This Time

Brian Williams is now legitimately under fire. Unlike his false claim, this time it may actually be lethal.
To his career! /NY POST FRIDAY COVER

A big deal is being made about NBC Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams, fabricating first hand combat experience. Apparently he "misremembered" the helicopter he was in taking direct fire. It didn't. Turns out Williams wasn't even anywhere near the incident he's falsely inserted himself into numerous times.

The shameful saga -- which is still unfolding -- should make us wonder about what we see and hear in the news. How many more lies -- yet uncaught -- has the American public been told by Williams and others of his ilk?

In a recent article, The Baltimore Sun media critic, David Zurawik, goes in on Brian Williams. Many others have piled on as well.

We rarely agree with this guy, but on this he's actually spot on!

For years the talking heads on TV have had humongous audiences and dominated the news media landscape. Considered "credible" sources, for a majority of Americans, they were "THE NEWS." They came with a level of accuracy built in and automatically implied. But their lock on this privileged post has began to erode. Their audience is steadily shrinking.

More and more people now seek other alternative, more comprehensive outlets to stay informed. We no longer have to wait for an evening broadcast to know what's going on in the world.

In the long history of the news media in this country, the public has often been fed pablum and propaganda on a daily basis and had no clue. Thank God this is changing.

It's only been relatively recently, with the rise in our ability to rapidly fact check and cross reference claims and assertions, that the average person can now reliably cut through the garbage. There is now a greater chance of learning the truth.

Mainstream media lies to us more than you know. Just this time they were caught.

Can NBC News now have any credibility with Brian Williams as its face?

We're guessing no. Expect Williams to be gone real soon.

COP OUT - Is The Baltimore Police Department Actively Hiding Officer Misconduct?

Well Rehearsed Routine Allows Misinformation To Flourish

By A.F. James MacArthur

There's an ongoing, elaborate, active effort of evasiveness, by the Baltimore Police Department to keep bad information about its officers from ever seeing the late of day.  Sure, every so often a sacrificial lamb is offered up to satisfy those who only observe the surface, but deep below lurks a murky pit of deception and deceit.

On the record, the department will say they're committed to transparency and accountability, but for anyone attempting in-depth coverage of the agency, reality rings different.  In many cases, when a situation occurs, depending on upon who the officer is and his or her internal alliances and affiliations, a whole system of  misdirection and suppression, in attempts to cover the indiscretion is activated.  By the time information is released to the media, the red herring has already been smeared across the trail, and the foul scent leads the hounds astray and away from the truth.

In up coming reports, we'll attempt to dismantle and untangle the sticky web, where what should be public information, goes to die.  There's at least a half dozen cases you've probably never heard of, we will do our best to expose.

From questionable shootings of civilians, to dangerous high speed chases, faked injuries and fraudulent workmens compensation claims, and even domestic abuse perpetrated by officers, there's a lot more going on with an agency charged to protect and serve us, than you would ever know from following Baltmore's mainstream media.

Under the guise of "personnel matters," shields are raised, while misdeeds manage to burrow further down the rabbit hole.  Anyone doubting this should look up the published record of what we now know of former Baltimore Police Officer Gahiji Tshamba.  Before killing an unarmed Marine in a drunken off-duty night club incident, he was involved in numerous alcohol fueled altercations, including crashing his car, destroying a gas station, and shooting other unarmed civilians who happened to survive, all the while being allowed to remain on the job.

His case, while startling, is only the tip of the iceberg, but should serve as an illustration of how misconduct, even rising to the level of criminal acts, have not been a disqualifier for continued employment with the Baltimore Police Department.

With a newly sworn in Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake making overtures to maintaining open government in the city, the roadblocks continually thrown in front independent investigative journalists tell a different story.  As the Baltimore Spectator continues the quest of bringing you accurate and timely news and views not commonly heard, we'll see how Baltimore city and its agencies cooperate.
