Correct. We haven't had a license or watched live tv in years now as it's all just woke propaganda. Anything actually good makes its way to streaming and online news, if you know how to assess reliability, is actually trustworthy not agenda driven

Pascal is producing historically significant content that showcases the implosion of the West and it's stranglehold on global majority, who are sick of the hypocrisy and lies.
I'm a New Zealander. I remember this travesty well. I certainly made my opinion of the "cut and paste" journalists known. Subsequently I'm blocked on most NZ news comment platforms.
It is exactly the same in Sweden. I know a journalist and we bumped into each other in the store and came to talk about the Ukraine conflict and my comment was similar to this NZ journalist. The reaction I got surprised me. He told me I was basically a victim of propaganda and then he repeated the Pentagon version. I was surprised that a journalist working for one of the biggest newspapers in the country was so misinformed. That was my comment. After that I have seen the news in Sweden and its absurdly low-level and pure Pentagon propaganda. I am 69 and have never experienced this level of disinformation by the established media before. I also take part of information from different countries and it is the same there. People lose their jobs, are detained, their electronics are confiscated and they themselves are being charged under some Terrorist act or law. They are scared of their own citizens and are now trying to silence people. We live in really dark times and its getting darker still.
As a fellow swede, age 61 , I fully believe that this is orchestrated top down, since it has happened to all of western European countries simultaneously, with more or less identical spread narrative, and same aggressive attacks on anyone trying to object and scrutinize, being called "Putin apologists"
@@kazab873 That Sweden has been gone for several years. But now it has entered a new level and it will become worse now that the country is a member of NATO. And that too was rushed and without any debate and no referendum. On such an important question and it's done like that one has to wonder about Swedish democracy.

Your stand for what journalism is supposed to mean mattered to me and I'm very sorry for you (and our journalism) that your integrity and professionalism was so viciously punished. You do have support amongst ordinary NZanders, we just don't have a voice. Kia kaha, Mick and all the best for the court case.

Mick's story was a big deal here in NZ. Early reports, especially from outside of RNZ, gave the impression that he was a secretive mole propagandist, likely receiving directions and money from Moscow. My first reaction was to write to RNZ asking for examples of inaccuracy in Mick's edits. No reply. Then again, I asked whether they would air a discussion of the controversy, perhaps with a general exploration of the role of news and propaganda in wartime. Silence...

I Live in NZ and noticed in January 2020 that RNZ news had suddenly shifted from providing a 'news outlet' to engaging in a comprehensive 'propaganda campaign'. I continued to listen to the station - since I'd relied upon their ad-free outlet for 40 years - with growing shock and dismay. Then I sent them a letter questioning their shift, which wasn't responded to, and finally I 'broke up' with them, and sent them a letter telling them as much. I'm very grateful to hear the inside story of what happened to Mike Hall. Thank you Pascal, and Mike. Hope you've found other options that aren't a violation of basic integrity.

If you grew up in Northern Ireland during the 70's and 80's and from a certain part of the community you were given a first class education in propaganda and personally it has served me well through my life ...
My brother was unfortunately serving in northan Ireland, he showed me back then how the media was not telling the truth, he said the situation was not so clear cut and simple,
I've spent tens of thousands of hours with RNZ content, mainly radio while driving or doing manual work. It was wonderful once. Not perfect of course, but they aired differing viewpoints, had terrific interviews and had some direct reportage from overseas. By the time of the COVID absurdity I was lost to it. Couldn't bear to listen to the lies, bullying and smug ignorance. And it hurt to know that so many friends and family were swallowing this stream of shit which I had to swim against in every conversation. Thank you Mick! I will look for your work on Consortium News.
BZ makes me scared in Sweden, the opposite sude of the planet but yet so close. I saw the ugly face of totalitarianism during Covid in NZ (and Australia). I never thought such actions were possible in "the West".
I remember when this story broke, the hysteria that this action was done by a 'Russian' agent/provocateur. Unless you're with the agenda you're against it. In fact if you don't cheer lead you're treated with suspicion, questioning is treated as dissent.
I shared this in my Facebook page. Its the same angled "news" in Sweden! Sweden joined Nato without a referrendum and lots of lies from "news" and politicians!
As a kiwi, its very nice to hear Mick's side of the story - he is 100% correct and I very vocally defended his actions in the weeks following. I wish more kiwis got to hear from him, and in-turn, hear about our media's imperial capture.
western msm.eastern is quite opposed to their narrative.we show them in full light -so called cvilision of liarts rapist,plunderers and wasr crminals whiuc tto this day live on bkac on tyhird world.but that is ending as china rusai and more and more free world like niger,mali is pushing bakc agasint imperilisalist.
This is what we need. More people of conscience in journalism. Sadly many can’t because of financial constraints. This fellow is a hero but unfortunately is probably paying the price for his good conscience and honesty. This is the world we are currently lumbered with . Use your critical thinking is our only defence.
I'm an American great-grandmother in my early 70s. I ask myself whether it's true that I live in a "free country" or whether that's just propaganda which I've come to believe is true simply because I've heard it all my life. My conclusion is (considering the number of subjects we are limited to what we can speak on without being punished, censored, and there's more than a few), that no, we don't live in a free country here in America. It doesn't look like they're faring any better in other Western nations either.
Congratulations to you for being a great - grandmother. I am from Europe but I follow the alternative news/ music and music and I can tell you that you in the US are better off in terms of information because you have more people on the alternative info side. In Europe people don't really know how the US works and they almost know nothing about Russia so they believe almost everything they see on tv. They watch Hollywood movies that always depict Russians as a bad guy and they drink coca cola,so even if they hear something that goes against the mainstream media they dismiss it as fantasy or propaganda. I hope that your grandkids will think for themselves like you.

The story about the shovels is just an example. I remember well in the early stages of the conflict just how much obvious garbage was being published. It made me start to think I shouldn't bother even reading news.
The concentration of media ownership began In 1996. Not that it happened elsewhere before. The phrase “the first victim is the truth” originates from ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus, who wrote “In war, truth is the first casualty” around 5th century BC.
Very unfortunate and unfair for you Mick but your encounter had big value in awakening some people who are still unaware. Every exposure counts. The world deserve peace and that requires an awakening of the societies. Thanks!
I'd like to hear more about what leverage the US and UK governments have over Reuters to influence their narrative. I remember Noel Chomsky gave us some insights on the control mechanisms used on public broadcasters in "Manufacturing Consent", but that was a long time ago. Also, Reuters is a private company based in Canada, so it must be corporate sponsorship and interests perfectly aligning with the US State Department's views.
I think it was almost 15 years, at least 14... for telling the truth. He also said back then that russia is not the problem, israel is. According to all the documents he found. Which we all should have had the right to see them. No more back door politics because they all lie non stop. They fool us.
We are all feeling guilty for Julian, as at that time we could not believe that what happened to him was a fraud, we were thrusting into the system, too much. Now we are different, now we would not allow it to happen again!
Well written Mr. Hall. Hopefully you will be employable again, along with the dozens or hundreds of your colleagues who have had the same fate recently. Just remember how mortally dangerous journalism has become in the last few decades. We should find this unacceptable but that word has been worn out by the state dept now.

@@svenhanson398 I'll be accused of heresy but.... journalists are just paid storytellers. They aren't arbiters of "TRUTH". I'm not impugning Mr Hall, just observing his 'profession'. How & why journos got placed on some pedestal is just amazing. Looking back at 19th C newspapers in the US, is shocking. Journos were just hacks who could turn out a good story.....regardless of veracity. Railroad barons owned friendly newspapers as did any number of other businesses. Mr. Hall's managers and corporate masters simply slapped him down and revealed to us all that the media is a vehicle used by powerful economic interest to shape opinions. But all that is not a harbinger of The West falling. Was photo brushing out people in Soviet history books a sign that Stalin's Russia was failing? No, it was just a tactic of control and manipulation
Just the Irish and the Cypriots? I guess the vast amount of people on the rest of the world that were brutalised by the British had it coming and the British can be forgiven for all these crimes...
Not like in my youth in the seventeeth. Before private TV and during pirate radio. We went to the forests near my hometown in West Germany to broadcast30 min of free radio and then we had to flee from the cops. Today yes, official news outlets are terrible, but there are so many alternatives on youtube,substack, telegram and many more. Not eevn old people like me watch state teleision or read Legacy media
I agree. It's abhorrent. I can't even listen to this shit pile of dumb crap from most of the ÖrR for even a few minutes without the urge to metaphorically puke.
Uneducated journalists and their " careerism", such a shame in the name of journalism. Stand staunch, your voice is a necessity. I rely on you chaps for truth and integrity. Thank you.
I sent the link to the substack to some Europeans. All the replies were along the lines of "he added Russian propaganda to an article and was surprised?".
Mich Hall what happened to you is horrible,disgraceful and has no place in the modern day media, but the powers that be have decided to silence the truth especially if it isn't favorable to them. Keep on being who you are for the truth can't be suppressed for long,it's just a matter of time.wishing you all the best sir.
To be honest, he is old enough to know what the consequences would be. I live in the West and I'm even unsure about commenting on TH-cam. But I really appreciate people coming out and telling some truths about how the Euro-America axis of evil operates. The world is in for a fight if it thinks that these people will go down without attempting to destroy all of humanity. I'm so sorry to have to say this. The gods told me this.😊

I will look for your work on Consortium News.
Same ....was ,is shocking really.
ditto for me with ABC here in Oz.
We need more people like you.Thanks for keeping us informed
I haven't watched a TV news program, or read a newspaper, in well over 30 years.
BZ makes me scared in Sweden, the opposite sude of the planet but yet so close. I saw the ugly face of totalitarianism during Covid in NZ (and Australia). I never thought such actions were possible in "the West".
The west ate the bad guys. Forget your history from school and college.
1901 days in prison, the price of real journalism
Julian Assange spent 7 years in Ecuadorian embassy and then 5 more in UK Belmarsh prison. The reason? Telling the truth about US war crimes.
Thanks!
Great respect to you Mick Hall
I remember when this story broke, the hysteria that this action was done by a 'Russian' agent/provocateur. Unless you're with the agenda you're against it. In fact if you don't cheer lead you're treated with suspicion, questioning is treated as dissent.
Talking peace seems dangerous...
Great interview Keep talking Keep sharing
In the words of Pink Floyd Welcome my son,Welcome to the machine.
I shared this in my Facebook page. Its the same angled "news" in Sweden! Sweden joined Nato without a referrendum and lots of lies from "news" and politicians!
It came part and parcel with the EU package. They just didn't tell you.
Journalism has been broken for many years.
No longer journalism
It’s now parrottism
decades. Chomsky's 'Manufacturing Consent' touches on it. When was it published ?
What happens when all email goes through a truth filter?
Thank you for speaking the truth!
As a kiwi, its very nice to hear Mick's side of the story - he is 100% correct and I very vocally defended his actions in the weeks following. I wish more kiwis got to hear from him, and in-turn, hear about our media's imperial capture.
A keen Kiwi here wanting to hear more from Mick Hall. I will be looking him up
I am so sorry for this journalist, welcome to club! I hope that our community shall grow and become strong enough to bring us back to reality!
Integrity and truth is not welcome in western journalism!
I often seek out MSM - it's important to hear the lies before trying to figure out what's true.
Yes once wise to it it's good ground for testing your spotting of logical fallacies, us/then thinking, ideological positions etc...
western msm.eastern is quite opposed to their narrative.we show them in full light -so called cvilision of liarts rapist,plunderers and wasr crminals whiuc tto this day live on bkac on tyhird world.but that is ending as china rusai and more and more free world like niger,mali is pushing bakc agasint imperilisalist.
Good job Mr. Hall.
best interview I have seen in a long while !!!
Excellent interview
This shows how fragile New Zealand democracy is .The Koch foundation re Atlas ...have taken over New Zealand.... heart goes out to this brave man .
Thank you for this... informative indeed. Kia Kaha.
This is what we need. More people of conscience in journalism. Sadly many can’t because of financial constraints. This fellow is a hero but unfortunately is probably paying the price for his good conscience and honesty. This is the world we are currently lumbered with . Use your critical thinking is our only defence.
No. journalism is NOT broken.
it has been forsaken by propagandists and shills.
there is a big difference and i think it matters
I'm an American great-grandmother in my early 70s. I ask myself whether it's true that I live in a "free country" or whether that's just propaganda which I've come to believe is true simply because I've heard it all my life. My conclusion is (considering the number of subjects we are limited to what we can speak on without being punished, censored, and there's more than a few), that no, we don't live in a free country here in America. It doesn't look like they're faring any better in other Western nations either.
Congratulations to you for being a great - grandmother. I am from Europe but I follow the alternative news/ music and music and I can tell you that you in the US are better off in terms of information because you have more people on the alternative info side. In Europe people don't really know how the US works and they almost know nothing about Russia so they believe almost everything they see on tv. They watch Hollywood movies that always depict Russians as a bad guy and they drink coca cola,so even if they hear something that goes against the mainstream media they dismiss it as fantasy or propaganda. I hope that your grandkids will think for themselves like you.

German Mainstream is in Lockstep. It is disgusting.
The story about the shovels is just an example. I remember well in the early stages of the conflict just how much obvious garbage was being published. It made me start to think I shouldn't bother even reading news.
The concentration of media ownership began In 1996. Not that it happened elsewhere before.
The phrase “the first victim is the truth” originates from ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus, who wrote “In war, truth is the first casualty” around 5th century BC.
Many Americans are very good at spotting road apples. Our Government is 90% road apples we see it everyday and the media is as trash as it gets
My own state-controlled media in Canada behaves like this also.

Very unfortunate and unfair for you Mick but your encounter had big value in awakening some people who are still unaware. Every exposure counts. The world deserve peace and that requires an awakening of the societies. Thanks!
I'd like to hear more about what leverage the US and UK governments have over Reuters to influence their narrative. I remember Noel Chomsky gave us some insights on the control mechanisms used on public broadcasters in "Manufacturing Consent", but that was a long time ago. Also, Reuters is a private company based in Canada, so it must be corporate sponsorship and interests perfectly aligning with the US State Department's views.
They jailed Julian Assange for nearly ten years where have you been.
I think it was almost 15 years, at least 14... for telling the truth. He also said back then that russia is not the problem, israel is. According to all the documents he found. Which we all should have had the right to see them. No more back door politics because they all lie non stop. They fool us.
12, actually.
We are all feeling guilty for Julian, as at that time we could not believe that what happened to him was a fraud, we were thrusting into the system, too much. Now we are different, now we would not allow it to happen again!
15 year. He was locked up in 2009.

I love truth seekers
Well written Mr. Hall. Hopefully you will be employable again, along with the dozens or hundreds of your colleagues who have had the same fate recently. Just remember how mortally dangerous journalism has become in the last few decades. We should find this unacceptable but that word has been worn out by the state dept now.
a very brave man with principle & integrity in his chosen career. a rare bird indeed!
please: watch yer back, Mick 🙏🏼
My attention to West establishment propaganda was first raised by Caitlin Johnstone in 2021.
"Self interest" is a cringe reason for a journalist to push out the biased crap. Careerism is no excuse for deceiving the public.
_"Do you want _*_your_*_ wife and children to end up just like all those poor people in the gutter, which you report about daily?"_
That is quite a powerful argument.
The weak *will* bend and follow...
The western government use biased crap to controle the population
Most are not aware of the bias, nor care to seek out even greater context.
@@ralphbernhard1757 There isn't even any need to say it out loud, it is just 'understood'. As recently seen with Mr. Hall. The same mechanism works in many other areas of modern society. Having to big a mouth have 'consequences'.
I’m sorry Mr. Hall. The Western world is falling apart.
"falling apart"?.....no.
If we were falling apart, Mr Hall would've been jailed after a show trial.
Or rather is it the same now as it was since the times of "Christendom".
@@willbass2869 It is falling apart. Does not mean it has fallen yet but it is heading that way. And people are being detained, their electronics confiscated, and are accused under terrorist acts. In UK. And Germany. And it is spreading.
@@svenhanson398 I'll be accused of heresy but.... journalists are just paid storytellers. They aren't arbiters of "TRUTH". I'm not impugning Mr Hall, just observing his 'profession'.
How & why journos got placed on some pedestal is just amazing.
Looking back at 19th C newspapers in the US, is shocking. Journos were just hacks who could turn out a good story.....regardless of veracity. Railroad barons owned friendly newspapers as did any number of other businesses.
Mr. Hall's managers and corporate masters simply slapped him down and revealed to us all that the media is a vehicle used by powerful economic interest to shape opinions.
But all that is not a harbinger of The West falling.
Was photo brushing out people in Soviet history books a sign that Stalin's Russia was failing? No, it was just a tactic of control and manipulation
@@svenhanson398I'm pretty such a Spanish guy and a French man have also been went after for telling a balanced account of the conflict
Very insightful and quite disturbing. Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Just a thought;
What if Mick is hired by RT 🎉
Snowden, Chomsky, Mick …. We will see a new phase of honest and credible journalism.
What the British did to the Irish is unforgivable and Cyprus as well.
Just the Irish and the Cypriots? I guess the vast amount of people on the rest of the world that were brutalised by the British had it coming and the British can be forgiven for all these crimes...

Not like in my youth in the seventeeth. Before private TV and during pirate radio. We went to the forests near my hometown in West Germany to broadcast30 min of free radio and then we had to flee from the cops. Today yes, official news outlets are terrible, but there are so many alternatives on youtube,substack, telegram and many more. Not eevn old people like me watch state teleision or read Legacy media
I agree. It's abhorrent. I can't even listen to this shit pile of dumb crap from most of the ÖrR for even a few minutes without the urge to metaphorically puke.
Free speech can be fun🤓
Uneducated journalists and their " careerism", such a shame in the name of journalism. Stand staunch, your voice is a necessity. I rely on you chaps for truth and integrity. Thank you.

Mich Hall what happened to you is horrible,disgraceful and has no place in the modern day media, but the powers that be have decided to silence the truth especially if it isn't favorable to them.
Keep on being who you are for the truth can't be suppressed for long,it's just a matter of time.wishing you all the best sir.
To be honest, he is old enough to know what the consequences would be. I live in the West and I'm even unsure about commenting on TH-cam. But I really appreciate people coming out and telling some truths about how the Euro-America axis of evil operates. The world is in for a fight if it thinks that these people will go down without attempting to destroy all of humanity. I'm so sorry to have to say this. The gods told me this.😊
Unsure ? Half of what you write gets vaporized, all goes for profiling. For commercial purposes and 'other'.
The mainstream news is often akin to dark comedy. It is no longer even subtle.
At least he wasn't locked up for 15 years for saying the truth like Assange
