Kissinger? Kissinger who?
by Jim Naureckas
FAIR, Feb.
Last week, presidential challenger Bernie Sanders attacked his rival Hillary Clinton live on US television for taking advice from Nixon-era Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, whom he accused of paving the way for genocide with his bombing of Cambodia.
You know who wasnt impressed? US television.
According to a search of the Nexis news database, there were exactly two references to Kissinger following the debate on the major broadcast networks. CBSs Gayle King (Early Show, 2/12/16) reported that Sanders questioned why Clinton would praise former secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and then played an excerpt from the exchange:
SANDERS: Henry Kissinger was one of the most destructive secretaries of state. Count me in as somebody who will not be listening to Henry Kissinger.
CLINTON: I know journalists have asked who you do listen to on foreign policy and we have yet to know who that is.
SANDERS: Well, it aint Henry Kissinger, thats for sure.
CLINTON: Thats fine. Thats fine.
On NBCs Today show, Andrea Mitchell (2/12/16) played an even shorter excerpt (beginning with journalists have asked you ) as an illustration of how the candidates hammered each other on foreign policy.

Corporate McPravda is afraid of telling the truth about Kissinger. That's also why you resort to censor. You can't change the truth and you fear people knowing it.
