<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">The US is losing the global information war, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared while appearing before a congressional committee to ask for extra funds to spread US propaganda through new media.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">Clinton said existing private channels are not good enough to handle the job, naming as rivals Al Jazeera, China's CCTV and RT – which she watches, she added.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">Clinton was defending her department’s budget in front of the House’s Committee on Foreign Affairs on Wednesday.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">Clinton said the US should step up its propaganda effort and get back “in the game” of doing “what we do best.”</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden"><i style="padding:0px;margin:0px">“During the Cold War we did a great job in getting America’s message out. After the Berlin Wall fell we said, ‘Okay, fine, enough of that, we are done,’ and unfortunately we are paying a big price for it,”</i> she said. <i style="padding:0px;margin:0px">“Our private media cannot fill that gap.”</i></p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden"><i style="padding:0px;margin:0px">“We are in an information war and we are losing that war. Al Jazeera is winning, the Chinese have opened a global multi-language television network, the Russians have opened up an English-language network. I’ve seen it in a few countries, and it is quite instructive,</i>” she stated.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">Things have changed a lot since the days when Western media outlets, including BBC and CNN, had a monopoly on the coverage of world news. More and more viewers across the world tune into various foreign media to get a fresh take on events.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">It is all in the numbers. For instance, RT’s presence on YouTube is a real hit: almost 300 million views, when CNN International is struggling to reach 3 million.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">RT’s constantly growing audience is an indication that the days of media monopoly are over and that people are demanding more multi-polar thinking.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">One of the latest examples is Al Jazeera’s coverage of the unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, which by most accounts outshone the US media’s presentation of events.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">Not everyone, however, is happy with the wider variety of media options. The head of the federal agency that manages the US’s government-run international broadcasting has basically called all those foreign media enemies.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">Last year Walter Isaacson, who heads the federal agency that manages the US’s government-run international broadcasting, including the Voice of America, warned against the influence of foreign media.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden"><i style="padding:0px;margin:0px">“We can’t allow ourselves to be out-communicated by our enemies,” </i>he said, in a now-infamous pitch to get his agency more funding. He did, however, later backtrack on his statement, saying that he was misunderstood.</p>
<p style="padding:0px;margin:20px 0px 0px;overflow:hidden">Journalist and filmmaker Danny Schechter says the US can no longer maintain a monopoly on information. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px">
<br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><i style="padding:0px;margin:0px">“The United States feels defensive in part because it can no longer monopolize not only the terms of authority in these countries, but also the terms of the debate,” </i>he said. <i style="padding:0px;margin:0px">“There is other information out there. There are other points of view and those points of view are profoundly damaging to a country that believes that its point of view is the only point of view.”</i></p>
