Journalists who give biased and predetermined views in favour of the government and corporations. |
Presstitute was initially meant to denote journalists “who give biased and predetermined views in favour of the government and corporations”, thus neglecting their fundamental duty of reporting news impartially. The term originally coined by Gerald Celente[1] is a portmanteau of press and prostitute and used it to describe biased media organisations. It is a form of journalism which involves tailoring news to fit a particular partisan, financial or business agenda.
With more information accumulating over time it has become clear that CIA influence operations and other activity in this area have never stopped and the media is tightly controlled by the deep state.
Usage
India
The term created controversy after General Vijay Kumar Singh, the Indian Minister of External Affairs, began referring to a section of the media as "presstitutes" in his tweets.[2][3]
Journalists for Hire
The second release in English of the book "Journalists for Hire: How the CIA Buys the News" (German title literally translates to: Bought Journalists) by Udo Ulfkotte was named: "Presstitutes Embedded in the Pay of the CIA: A Confession from the Profession".
