Mainstream media regurgitates exact same news on Fukushima, word for word

Where can you go to find “trusted” news about Fukushima? Well according to Google News, only the mainstream sources are “trusted” these days. That’s why they’ve removed nearly all alternative news sites from their news index, leaving only the monotone, mindless canned mainstream news sources for people to read.

But just how mindless are these mainstream news sources? To find out, I did a Google search on spent fuel rods and plutonium, and the results were a massive regurgitation of the exact same news from multiple mainstream news sources.

See the search result yourself with the screen shot we took HERE.

Here are the news story titles you see in the Google search results:

Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – Yahoo! News
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – Physorg.com
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – Washington Post
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – Fox News
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – Forbes.com
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – CBS News
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – San Francisco Gate
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – Boston Globe
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – MSNBC
Plutonium in troubled reactors, spent fuel pools – Denver Post

… followed by a long list of local TV news stations regurgitating the exact same news, word for word.

Copy and paste the propaganda

Now, keep in mind that these news sources are considered the “trusted” news sources by Google News and most consumers. And yet, when you really get right down to it, these are all news sites that merely copy and paste the same exact stories from Associated Press or Reuters. In other words, these sites aren’t even writing their own news! They are worse than bloggers who at least offer some unique analysis of the news.

Google says its search engine penalizes sites for carrying “duplicate content.” And yet we see no evidence of penalties for these mainstream news sites that rip off the same exact news, word for word, from the AP and Reuters news wires. After all, these are the top-ranking search results — and they’re all exactly the same!

If anybody other than the mainstream media did this, they would be immediately accused of running a “content farm” and be banned from the Google index. For some reason, Google seems to allow the mainstream media a free pass on the mass duplication of the exact same content. In fact, Google News actually seems to favor it! The more you parrot AP and Reuters, the more they love ya!

Do you have original news content? They aren’t interested in that. But if you copy and paste Associated Press stories, you get top billing!
