This was really interesting and informative...and scary. I remember the fear of nuclear war in the 1960's and here it comes again.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has been forced to release internal reports detailing the way it manipulated media reporting of benefits cuts, following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.

The Disability News Service (DNS) first put in a request to see the department’s media evaluation reports – which are produced monthly by the DWP’s communications team to keep an eye on how it manages its press and social media coverage – more than a year ago. The DWP refused to release them, claiming they were “commercially sensitive”. But after The DNS complained to the Information Commissioner, the DWP has made them available.

Jonathan Pring from The DNS has seen the documents – and their revelations are extraordinary.

Quashing negative media

The reports reveal how the DWP’s press office worked well to quash any negative media about it. For instance, in one month of 2014 alone, DWP press officers managed to kill 44 stories.

Many of us are fully aware of all this.

Though I don't think he even means the forward slash in the square brackets, but in the link itself. It should just be "751e6GHk3Us", not "/751e6GHk3Us" (as the / is part of the web address, not the YouTube video's reference number).

The Russian perspective on relations with the US.How Putin views the whole situation with Iraq,Libya,Syria and ISIS.I think much of it may not be far from the truth.Despite the provocative title of the video it's quite interesting to hear the other side that's not controlled by our media.
