Narrative-Shaping Obscures Obama Administration's Abuse of Power

More than ever before, Americans are aware of media efforts to “shape the narrative” — which is most cases means filtering the truth through a progressive lens.

On April 28, the New York Times published a story about abuses by the National Security Agency, noting it had “halted one of the most disputed practices of its warrantless surveillance program, ending a once-secret form of wiretapping that dates to the Bush administration’s post-Sept. 11 expansion of national security powers.”

On May 24, Circa published the same information — with a decidedly different take. “The National Security Agency under former President Barack Obama routinely violated American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts and failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president last fall, according to once top-secret documents that chronicle some of the most serious constitutional abuses to date by the U.S. intelligence community,” it stated.

The Times story did not mention the Obama administration at all..

Why would anybody think they would accuse one of their own? Obama was a close to a Dictator as America has ever had. He was a Chavez clone.
