Will it matter when the last newspaper dies? (October 3, 2024)

Why the news media's job is to groom us (July 10, 2024)
Large numbers of Palestinians and Ukrainians were killed in missile strikes days apart. The media's differing treatment of these comparable events is the clue to what the media’s really there to do. As readers, we don't, as we imagine, 'consume' news. Rather, the news consumes us. Or put another way, the media uses the news to groom us, its audience. Properly understood, the relationship is one of abuser and abused.

Media Literacy Guide (2024)
Hamas 'mass rape' claim lacks evidence. But it's being used to justify genocide (December 18, 2023)

The Slow Motion Execution of Julian Assange (September 16, 2023)
Hyping Ukraine Counteroffensive, US Press Chose Propaganda Over Journalism (September 15, 2023)
It has been clear for some time that US corporate news media have explicitly taken a side on the Ukraine War. This role includes suppressing relevant history of the lead-up to the war, attacking people who bring up that history as 'conspiracy theorists', accepting official government pronouncements at face value, and promoting an overly rosy picture of the conflict in order to boost morale. For most of the war, most of the US coverage has been as pro-Ukrainian as Ukraine's own media, now consolidated under the Zelenskyy government.

Western media suddenly hates Twitter's 'government-funded' labels (April 20, 2023)
Establishment outlets were perfectly fine with the social media scarlet letter when it was handed to their 'undesirable' counterparts. Recently, some media outlets have quit Twitter over what they see as unjust labeling, which leads to the question 'where was their outrage when the same rules were being applied to their competition?'
Snowden and Texeira: Ten Years of Disaster (April 16, 2023)
The idea that the legacy media in any way serves the truth or the public interest is now completely buried. The legacy media serves the state, and the state serves the billionaires. It is a shame the Washington Post, New York Times, Guardian and Bellingcat each had no interest whatsoever in the journalistic pursuit of the truth behind this extraordinary episode. We live entirely in security states: there is no doubt about it.

Looking back on the coverage of Trump (January 30, 2023)
Seven and a half years ago, journalism began a tortured dance with Donald Trump, the man who would be the country's forty-fifth president, first dismissing him, then embracing him as a source of ratings and clicks, then going all in on efforts to catalogue Trump as a threat to the country (also a great source of ratings and clicks).
Dangers of AI Revealed as Israeli Bullet Decides to Kill Somebody (2023)
This use of the passive in describing Israeli crimes is absolutely typical of the Guardian, and of the entire mainstream media. A more naturally expressed and honest headline would have been "Israeli soldiers shoot Palestinian journalist in the head for filming demolition of Ramallah homes".
The Media Accountability Project (2023)
The Twilight of Freedom (2023)
Three British journalists I know personally - Johanna Ross, Vanessa Beeley and Kit Klarenberg - have each in the last two years been detained at immigration for hours on re-entering their own country, and questioned by police under anti-terrorist legislation. This is plainly an abuse of the power to detain at port of entry, because in each case they could have been questioned at any time in the UK were there legitimate cause, and the questioning was not focused on their travels. They were in fact detained and interrogated simply for holding and publishing dissident opinion on foreign policy, and in particular for supporting a more collaborative approach to Russia.

The prospects for a fair trial range from miniscule to zero.
When Journalism Standards Vanish (November 18, 2022)
Because Russia and Iran are both viewed as enemies of Washington, Western news media often feel comfortable publishing any old claim about them as fact regardless of sourcing or evidence. Imperial propagandists lower their editorial standards when reporting on official enemies not because they are bad at their job, but because they are very good at their job. It's just that their job isn't what we've been told.
Researchers Find Massive Anti-Russian 'Bot Army' (November 6, 2022)

Those Angry at Rushdie's stabbing have been missing in action over a far greater threat to our freedom (August 16, 2022)
Both Julian Assange and Salman Rushdie have been victims of violence, but sympathy was only given to Rushdie.

What the U.S. Government and The New York Times Have Quietly Agreed Not to Tell You About Ukraine (July 29, 2022)
The narrative that portrays Ukraine as a democratic state - no matter how beloved by U.S. corporate media or endlessly repeated by the State Department - is a fantasy. History has shown us that the Ukrainian government's commitment to democracy is dubious or non-existent. Ukraine currently has more banned political parties than legal ones; political repression and imprisonment of dissidents has been commonplace ever since its independence; and both the government and its affiliated party militias routinely resort to violence to quell peaceful protests while turning a blind eye to violence inflicted on Jews and other racial and ethnic minorities.
Government censorship rebrands with 'disinformation' campaign (July 20, 2022)

The evidence shows Israeli military/intel forces see journalists as 'lawful targets,' as part of the 'Cognitive War' they wage against the Palestinians, but more particularly against the global population in an attempt to legitimize their military oppression of the Palestinians in their ongoing effort of 'population expulsion' of the Palestinians from Palestinian territory.

As I write these words, the world is trying to make sense of the brutal assassination of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was targeted by Israeli forces while covering yet another Israeli assault on Jenin.

Social media giants repress Palestinian content (March 29, 2022)
Silicon Valley is solidly entrenching itself as a devoted enemy of political dissent.

When I am told, by possibly well-meaning but at best indoctrinated and at worst imbecilic individuals, that Freedom and Democracy require Censorship and Suppression it is my duty to fight against such buffoons.
On Being Disappeared (March 28, 2022)
YouTube has removed the entire six-year archive of the author's show 'On Contact.' This censorship, he says, is about supporting what I.F Stone reminded us is what governments always do - lie.
Escalation Without Consequences on the Op-Ed Page (March 22, 2022)
Corporate media outlets are calling for the United States and its allies to react to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine by escalating the war. The opinion pages are awash with pleas to pump ever-more deadly weaponry into the conflict, to choke Russian civilians with sanctions, and even to institute a "no-fly zone." That such approaches gamble with thousands, and possibly millions, of lives doesn’t shake the resolve of the press’s armchair generals.
How Much Less Newsworthy Are Civilians in Other Conflicts? (March 18, 2022)

Conflict In Ukraine Used To Silence Voices Of Dissent In The United States (March 14, 2022)
Clearing the FOG speaks with political comedian Lee Camp about the sudden de-platforming that happened to him when RT America abruptly shut down after the Russian military intervention in Ukraine last month. Camp lost his program Redacted Tonight that aired weekly for the past eight years, and he was kicked off of other platforms such as Spotify. Camp talks about the big picture of growing censorship, the state of the media and freedom of the press, and the assault on the public's access to information that counters the narrative in the corporate media.

Western cancel culture has gone nuclear in targeting an entire country (March 7, 2022)
By now, we're all used to righteous people pitching fits and ganging up, mean-girl style, on those they feel have committed transgressions against the status quo.
