While covering the WEF meeting in Davos, Avi Yemeni of Rebel News tried to interview Rebecca Blumenstein who was there as a guest. By the way, you can not just buy your way in - you need to be invited. Ms Blumenstein got the honor.

So be that as it may, Yemeni was trying to ask her how her news organization could be viewed as such - as a reporting body - whereas she was a participant in the event. His request for an interview was predictably turned down. Watch the video below - it is quite telling.

I think that is more or less all you need to know about the mainstream media today, there inseparably close relationship to various world powers and their through-and-through mendacity. Thank you, Ms Blumenstein, for clearly illustrating that - and kudos to Yemeni for actually doing his job as a real reporter.
