Yahoo's prematurely published Rihanna record review is a masterpiece of post-modern non-journalism. pic.twitter.com/eZl6TACjyi

This is it, your smoking gun.

This is a template, suitable for automation. It's a press release set up like a Mad Lib, with details to be filled in when decided upon by those promulgating the narrative in question. Those who put their name on this crap as a By-Line are committing fraud; they are stealing your time, attention, wealth, and belief by deception for the purpose of profit.

This is how it is for all beats in journalism, foreign and domestic. This is how it is across the world, no matter the country. This is how it is and that's why they are increasingly being seen for the liars, thieves, and frauds that they really are.

They decide on the conclusion first, and only include those facts--real and fake alike--that support the conclusion. Everything else gets culled into the Memory Hole. This is the perversion of Art (Storytelling) for the purpose and sake of Power.

This is Narrative Warfare is action!
Now, with that in mind, go read Mike Cernovich's article on the latest rape hoax and see how this is is the same bullshit scam applied in a different context.
