Abstract

The American government has a wide array of resources available with which they can disseminate information regarding their activities, both at home and abroad. These resources include but are not limited to press secretaries, communications chiefs, and leaked documents that are released to the American news media. In the pages that follow I intend to prove that while independent American news media work mainly at exposing US government lies, the mainstream American news media work to effectively transmit those lies to the news viewing American public.It should be noted, first of all, that the dominant US news media do sometimes expose government lies. This should not be surprising, however, as exposing lies, scandals, and half-truths is a huge part of the news media's responsibility to the American news viewing public.

Keywords: media manipulation, cover-ups, government scandals, government censorship, journalism ethics
