  1. Other Voices: The Connexions Newsletter - March 3, 2024 (March 3, 2024)
    Lies are the lifeblood of the world we live in. The American-dominated international order is rooted in violence and exploitation, but lies are its language, its public face, and its spiritual essence.
  2. Worthy & Unworthy Victims: Navalny & Lira (February 28, 2024)
    While Alexey Navalny's death commanded 24-hour news coverage, Gonzalo Lira's death in Ukraine was virtually ignored.
  3. Worthy vs. unworthy victims: Study reveals media's selective coverage of Navalny and Lira (February 27, 2024)
    A new MintPress News study of media coverage of the deaths of American journalist and commentator Gonzalo Lira and Russian political leader Alexey Navalny has found that the establishment U.S. press overwhelmingly ignored the former and focussed on the latter.
  4. The Western Press Are Just Printing Straight Up Nazi Propaganda About Middle Easterners Now (February 7, 2024)
    It sure is an interesting coincidence how all this mass media demonizing and dehumanizing of Muslim populations is happening at the exact same time the western empire is raining military explosives upon nations full of Muslims.
  5. Quality and Propaganda (February 4, 2024)
    An obviously fake video created and circulated by the Australian Jewish Association, which purported to show protesters chanting 'Gas the Jews,' received massive media coverage and went viral, even though it was immediately shown to be fake. Hundreds of mainstream journalists reported it as if it were true.
  6. Strike threat over claim pro-Israeli lobby forced out Australian journalist (January 16, 2024)
    Australia’s national broadcaster is under fire amid claims that pro-Israel lobbyists forced the sacking of a broadcaster.
  7. R.I.P. Gonzalo Lira: Journalist 'Died' In Ukrainian Prison (January 13, 2024)
    Journalist Gonzalo Lira died in a Ukrainian prison, where his health was allowed to deteriorate and he was dened access to health care.
  8. John Pilger - 'A Majority Of One (January 12, 2024)
  9. Media Literacy Guide (2024)
  10. Hamas 'mass rape' claim lacks evidence. But it's being used to justify genocide (December 18, 2023)
    Claims of systematic rape on October 7 appeal to a racist trope of the savage, predatory Arab. Which is why western politicians and media are so unconcerned by the dearth of evidence.
  11. Genocide - The Gaze From The Abyss (December 7, 2023)
    We lampooned the claim that although journalists are 'working within profit-maximising, billionaire-owned, advertiser-dependent, government-subsidised media, they are nevertheless exposing "disinformation" without the slightest trace of bias.
  12. What the BBC fails to tell you about October 7 [2023] (November 2, 2023)
    It is journalistic malpractice for the media to still be repeating so credulously the Israeli military's account of that day.
  13. Israel is caught lying time and again. And yet we never learn (October 24, 2023)
    Disinformation over the blast at Gaza's al-Ahli hospital worked as planned, taking the focus off the victims and lifting pressure on Israel to stop its rampage.
  14. Western media's parroting of official lies is paving way to genocide in Gaza (October 16, 2023)
    Disinformation campaigns are one of the chief battlefields in any war - something any serious journalist is only too aware of. And western powers and their allies have an appalling track record of lying to their own medias.
  15. What the media forgets to tell you about Israel and Gaza (October 15, 2023)
    Ignore the fake news. Israel isn't defending itself. It's enforcing its right to continue ethnically cleansing Palestinians.
  16. On Western media and the erasure of Palestine (October 14, 2023)
    The Palestinian struggle brings to the forefront the colonial relations that underpin today's world, and that the West, and its media, work tirelessly to hide.
  17. The Slow Motion Execution of Julian Assange (September 16, 2023)
  18. 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.
  19. Killing The Story - Bakhmut, Nick Cohen, Kakhovka, Nord Stream and Piers Morgan (June 15, 2023)
  20. Leaks reveal FBI helps Ukraine censor Twitter users and obtain their info (June 7, 2023)
    The Federal Bureau of Investigation has aided a Ukrainian intelligence effort to censor social media users and obtain their personal information, leaked emails reveal.
  21. Neo-Nazis in Ukraine? No, Yes, No-Yes (June 7, 2023)
    A New York Times' reporter's job this week is to persuade us that all those Ukrainian soldiers wearing Nazi insignia and marching through Kiev in Klan-like torch parades are not what you think.
  22. British police detain journalist Kit Klarenberg, interrogate him about The Grayzone (May 30, 2023)
    British 'counter-terror' police detained journalist Kit Klarenberg upon his arrival at London's Luton airport and subjected him to an extended interrogation about his political views and reporting for The Grayzone.
  23. Underexposure Exposed (May 26, 2023)
    If you want people to think that a country resistant to US leadership is a festering doomscape, just underexpose the hell out of your photographs.
  24. The Guardian's 'Anti-Semitism' Incident (May 9, 2023)
    With the row over its cartoon, the newspaper that helped oust Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party has briefly found that what you sow, you can reap.
  25. Julian Assange: A Fight We Must Not Lose (May 9, 2023)
    The detention and persecution of Julian Assange eviscerates all pretense of the rule of law and the rights of a free press.
  26. From Yellow Journalism to China Bashing, the Media's Enduring Role in Promoting War (May 1, 2023)
  27. AOC gloats over 'deplatforming' of Tucker Carlson (April 26, 2023)
    Fox News host Tucker Carlson was fired on Monday, eliciting cheers from the Pentagon and numerous public figures. New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez celebrated Carlson's 'deplatforming', saying "Deplatforming works, and it is important and there you go. Good things can happen. Couldn't have happened to a better guy."
  28. Tucker Carlson's firing reveals how afraid the media is of independent journalists (April 26, 2023)
    While the left is busy hating on Tucker Carlson, and not without reason, it is missing the bigger picture.
  29. John Pilger's Guide to Propaganda (April 21, 2023)
    Journalist, author and filmmaker John Pilger, who has spent decades studying governments’ nefariousness, tells Katie Halper how to spot propaganda.
  30. 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?'
  31. 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.
  32. Sy Hersh & The Way We Live Now (February 10, 2023)
    Coverage of the sabotage of the Nordstream pipelines helped Murray realize something important about how the Big Lie works.
  33. Canada's state broadcaster CBC peddles lies and slanders about jailed journalist Julian Assange (February 5, 2023)
    Following the calamitous ruling on December 10, 2021 by a British court to extradite Julian Assange to face espionage charges in the US, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) aired two reports, densely packed with hideous deceptions that lend support to Washington's efforts to persecute and silence the award-winning journalist.
  34. 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).
  35. 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".
  36. The Media Accountability Project (2023)
  37. 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.
  38. Reflecting New U.S. Control of TikTok's Censorship, Our Report Criticizing Zelensky Was Deleted (December 28, 2022)
    For years, U.S. officials and their media allies accused Russia, China and Iran of tyranny for demanding censorship as a condition for Big Tech access. Now, the U.S. is doing the same to TikTok.
  39. The EU's freeze of Russian media assets is a perversion of its own principles (December 22, 2022)
    There's a big difference between actual disinformation or misinformation, and information or analysis that you just don't like.
  40. 'Nearly Every War Has Been The Result Of Media Lies' (December 14, 2022)
    Julian Assange once observed that, 'Nearly every war has been the result of media lies.' For daring to publish evidence of US war crimes, Assange now sits in the high-security Belmarsh prison in London, at risk of being extradited to the US within the next few weeks. The prospects for a fair trial range from miniscule to zero.
  41. 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.
  42. Researchers Find Massive Anti-Russian 'Bot Army' (November 6, 2022)
    An Australian university has unearthed millions of Tweets by fake accounts pushing disinformation on the Ukraine war, Peter Cronau reports. The sample size dwarfs other studies of covert propaganda about the war on social media.
  43. Wicked Leakidence On Nord Stream Sabotages (October 26, 2022)
    On the British media's biased reporting of the Nord Stream sabotage.
  44. Crippling the Left (October 13, 2022)
    Whenever it truly matters, from Assange to Corbyn, Guardian George Monbiot journalist aligns with the corporate media herd.
  45. Criticising Monbiot isn't 'demonisation'. It’s a first step on the path to reclaiming our minds (October 10, 2022)
  46. US Media's Intellectual No-Fly-Zone on US Culpability in Nord Stream Attack (October 7, 2022)
    Discusses the media's suspicion of Russia over the destruction of the Nord 2 pipeline, although Washington has an established history of opposition to the pipeline.
  47. The BBC to NATO Pipeline (October 6, 2022)
    The death of Queen Elizabeth II, where the BBC dropped programming to run endless, wall-to-wall coverage, has underlined the fact to many Britons that the network is far from impartial, but the voice of the state.
  48. Mass Media Omertà (October 5, 2022)
    The damaging revelations about the Labour Party in the recent four-part Al Jazeera series, ‘The Labour Files’, and the almost totalitarian silence in response by British news media, should ram home the illusory nature of ‘democracy’ in the UK.
  49. Conditioned for War with Russia (September 22, 2022)
    Discusses the American role in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the Establishment media's part in keeping the truth from Americans.
  50. Those angry at Rushdie's stabbing have been missing in action over a far bigger threat to our freedom (August 16, 2022)
    The Satanic Verses novelist is championed by western liberals not because he has bravely articulated difficult truths but because of who his enemies are.
  51. 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. Cook argues that although both men are prominent proponents for the freedom of speech, Rushie questions the authority of clerics and governments in far-off lands, and Assange speaks out against the crimes committed by Western governments.
  52. We all must speak up in defense of Graham Phillips! (August 8, 2022)
    British journalist Graham Phillips has been subjected to sanctions by the British government for reporting from Donbas.
  53. 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.
  54. Government censorship rebrands with 'disinformation' campaign (July 20, 2022)
    Current official talk about 'disinformation' has largely become a euphemism for protecting empire and a rebranding of age-old government-run censorship.
  55. Germany criminalizes journalist for exposing Ukrainian war crimes (July 13, 2022)
    Independent Donetsk-based journalist Alina Lipp of Germany details her prosecution by the German state for violating new speech codes through her reporting in the Donetsk People’s Republic. As the only German reporter on the ground in Donetsk, Lipp has exposed Ukrainian forces shelling civilians, attacking a maternity ward, mining harbors, and bombing a granary filled with corn for export. She faces three years in prison if she returns to her home country.
  56. Cognitive Warfare: Israel Targets Journalists Who Threaten Its Reality-Creation Tactics (June 23, 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.
  57. Leaked emails expose Paul Mason's collusion with senior British intelligence agent (June 13, 2022)
    In leaked emails, celebrity journalist Paul Mason plots extensively with Andy Pryce of the UK Foreign Office Counter Disinformation and Media Development unit.
  58. Forget liberating Ukraine - We first need to liberate our minds (June 11, 2022)
    Because we in the West are the strongest tribe on the planet, we are also the most deluded, the most propagandized, and the most dangerous.
  59. Paul Mason's covert intelligence-linked plot to destroy The Grayzone exposed (June 7, 2022)
    Leaked emails reveal British journalist Paul Mason plotting with an intel contractor to destroy The Grayzone through "relentless deplatforming" and a "full nuclear legal" attack. The scheme is part of a wider planned assault on the UK left.
  60. US State-Affiliated NewsGuard Targets Consortium News (June 2, 2022)
    The Pentagon and State Dept.-linked outfit, with an ex-N.S.A. and C.I.A. director on its board, is accusing Consortium News of publishing "false content" on Ukraine
  61. Lawyers will add Abu Akleh to Palestinian journalists' ICC case (May 27, 2022)
  62. The Israeli Execution of Shireen Abu Akleh (May 17, 2022)
    Israel, which shoots hundreds of Palestinians a year, routinely includes reporters and photographers on its target lists. The execution of Abu Akleh was not an accident. She was singled out for elimination.
  63. Will Shireen Abu Akleh's Murder Mark a Turning Point in the Liberation of Palestine? (May 14, 2022)
    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. Furthermore, Israeli forces have now attacked the funeral procession leading Shireen to her final resting place. One wonders why is anyone surprised.
  64. UK intensifies crackdown against Russian media (May 2, 2022)
  65. PayPal Cancels CN Account; May Seize Balance (May 1, 2022)
    PayPal has canceled Consortium News' account without any prior notice or due process and with virtually no explanation. As Consortium News is today launching its Spring Fund Drive, it has lost one of its most important ways for its viewers and readers to show their support through donations.
  66. An Intellectual No-Fly Zone: Online Censorship of Ukraine Dissent Is Becoming the New Norm (April 25, 2022)
    Google has sent a warning shot across the world, ominously informing media outlets, bloggers, and content creators that it will no longer tolerate certain opinions when it comes to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
  67. The US Bubble of Pretend (April 5, 2022)
    The lack of objective, principled coverage of the war in Ukraine is a degenerate state of affairs. The one thing worse is the extent to which it’s perfectly fine with most Americans.
  68. Social media giants repress Palestinian content (March 29, 2022)
    Silicon Valley is solidly entrenching itself as a devoted enemy of political dissent. As the West implements draconian sanctions against Russia over the invasion of Ukraine, including the banning of the Russian news outlets RT and Sputnik from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok as well as search engine results, social media censorship of political messaging about the Palestinian liberation struggle continues.
  69. Cancel Culture Democracy Comes to Ukraine (March 28, 2022)
    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.
  70. 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.
  71. 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.
  72. How Much Less Newsworthy Are Civilians in Other Conflicts? (March 18, 2022)
    As US news media covered the first shocking weeks of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, some media observers -- like FAIR founder Jeff Cohen -- have noted their impressions of how coverage differed from wars past.
  73. It's Not OK for Grown Adults to Think This Way About Ukraine (March 18, 2022)
  74. 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.
  75. I Work for Sputnik News (March 9, 2022)
    Torture, whistleblowing, extraordinary rendition, secret prisons, solitary confinement and corruption in the justice system. Those are Kiriakou's subjects and he is happy to talk about them anywhere.
  76. Pity the Nation (March 7, 2022)
    Fact-based arguments Scott Ritter made challenging the case for war against Iraq were effectively silenced. Today he sees the same template in play towards anyone challenging the dogma of 'Putinism.
  77. 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. But amid the conflict in Ukraine, some are actually trying to deplatform the world's largest country by attacking anyone and anything even remotely associated with it.
  78. War, Conflict & Enemies of Truth (March 5, 2022)
    The frenzy engendered by the Ukraine conflict reinforces a herd mentality that cries out for critical thinking.
  79. George Monbiot: NATO's witchfinder (March 4, 2022)
    In everything he writes George Monbiot accepts what pro-Western sources report as gospel and on this basis alone denounces his opponents.
  80. Russia-Ukraine: Western media are acting as cheerleaders for war (March 4, 2022)
    Journalists are cheering on the arming of militias and civilians making improvised explosives - acts they usually treat as terrorism
  81. Spotify Purges Dissident Voices In Latest Censorship Escalation (March 3, 2022)
    Multiple American podcasters who speak critically of the political status quo in their country are reporting that their channels have been shut down as the censorship campaign against Russia-backed media continues to escalate.
  82. Defending Freedom And Democracy Sure Requires An Awful Lot Of Censorship (March 2, 2022)
    Perhaps we have foolishly consented to a reality where the most powerful people in the world get to control the information people consume in order to shut down dissent against a murderous and oppressive globe-spanning oligarchic empire.
  83. Foreign Agents Designation Causes Media Cold War (February 28, 2022)
    Media based in countries the United States regards as enemies, such as Russia and China, even if they are privately owned, are required to register as "foreign agents." So are media which run reports critical of U.S. foreign policy, like Al Jazeera. Other state owned-media, like the BBC, CBC, Deutsche Welle, let alone Voice of America, are not required to register.
  84. Western Media Fall in Lockstep for Neo-Nazi Publicity Stunt in Ukraine (February 23, 2022)
  85. Russia-Ukraine is an Information War, So Government Intelligence Needs More Scrutiny Than Ever (February 22, 2022)
  86. War in Europe and the Rise of Raw Propaganda (February 18, 2022)
  87. Let's Back Up A Sec And Ask Why Free Speech Actually Matters (January 31, 2022)
    To really answer the question of whether the increasingly widespread practice of Silicon Valley censorship via algorithm and deplatforming is a major problem and whether an increase in speech restriction is desirable, we need to take a step back and ask ourselves why free speech even matters in the first place.
  88. Is it already too late to say goodbye? (January 22, 2022)
    My blog posts once attracted tens of thousands of shares. Then, as the algorithms tightened, it became thousands. Now, as they throttle me further, shares can often be counted in the hundreds. "Going viral" is a distant memory.
  89. Justice for Julian Assange is Justice for All (November 1, 2021)
    Following the final High Court hearing to decide whether or not Julian Assange is to be extradited to the United States - for the 'crime' of revealing a landscape of government crimes and lies -- John Pilger looks back on the decade Assange has been fighting for his freedom, and the implications for independent journalists and the very notion of justice.
  90. Gaslighting The Public: Serial Deceptions By The State-Corporate Media (September 22, 2021)
    Other than the ever-present risk of nuclear war, there is no greater threat to humanity than the climate crisis. And there is no more damning example of gaslighting by state-corporate media when they tell us we can trust governments and corporations to do what is required to avert catastrophe.
  91. Watching The News (August 27, 2021)
    Watching "The National" on CBC, as well as some local news programs, is proving to be an interesting experience. I haven't lived in a house with TV for more than 15 years, and hadn't watched TV news for many more years before that, so I come to this experience as a more-or-less naive outsider.
  92. Craig Murray's jailing is the latest move in a battle to snuff out independent journalism (July 30, 2021)
    Craig Murray, a former ambassador to Uzbekistan, the father of a newborn child, a man in very poor health and one who has no prior convictions, will have to hand himself over to the Scottish police on Sunday morning. He becomes the first person ever to be imprisoned on the obscure and vaguely defined charge of "jigsaw identification".
  93. Climate Change: Why we can't trust mainstream media (July 20, 2021)
    A Q&A on capitalism, media, and climate. Explains How and why mainstream media minimizes climate change.
  94. Key Assange Witness Recants - With Zero Corporate Media Coverage (July 2, 2021)
    Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson confessed to Icelandic outlet Stundin that he used his position to steal money from Wikileaks and received immunity from the FBI in a quid pro quo. This article critiques the lack of coverage about this in corporate media, and argues thatthe global corporate press long ago decided to side with the US national security state.
  95. A Remarkable Silence: Media Blackout After Key Witness Against Assange Admits Lying (July 1, 2021)
    A major witness in the US case against Julian Assange has admitted fabricat­ing key accusati­ons in the indictment against the Wikileaks founder. But all of this is seemingly of no interest to the ‘mainstream’ media.
  96. US seizes three dozen websites used for 'Iranian disinformation' (June 23, 2021)
  97. Corporate Media's Double Standard: They Attack Whomever They Want, But You Cannot Criticize Them (May 21, 2021)
    Greenwalk responsed to The Washington Post's article and Daily Beast's questions about accusations from The Intercept that he endangered their writers.
  98. ‘This time is different’: Gaza journalists on Israeli bombardment (May 19, 2021)
    Several Palestinian journalists have spoken to Al Jazeera of their fear and the exhaustion of covering the continuing Israeli bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip and their determination to continue their work.
  99. The Israel Narrative Is Crumbling Because Of Phone Cameras And The Internet (May 11, 2021)
    Social media is teeming with viral video footage of police assaulting peaceful worshippers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, of Israelis cheering and chanting “Yimach shemam (may their names be erased)” at the sight of a fire near the mosque, of Israeli soldiers arresting Palestinian protesters using the signature knee-on-neck maneuver made famous by the murder of George Floyd, many of which have millions of views.
  100. We can defeat the corporate media’s war to snuff out independent journalism (May 10, 2021)
    as journalists seek to liberate themselves from the strictures of the old corporate media, that same corporate media is working very hard to characterise the new technology as a threat to media freedoms. This self-serving argument should be treated with a great deal of scepticism. I want to use my own experiences to argue that quite the reverse is true. And that the real danger is allowing the corporate media to reassert its monopoly over narrating the world to us.
  101. The Mass Media Will Never Regain The Public’s Trust (April 26, 2021)
    It doesn’t ultimately matter what mainstream pundits and reporters believe is the cause of the public’s growing disgust with them, because there's nothing they can do to fix it anyway. The mass media will never regain the public's trust.
  102. Media's Top Meaning for 'Proxy' Is 'Iranian Ally' (April 21, 2021)
    "Proxy," defined as someone who works on someone else's behalf, is a term of delegitimation in international politics: It undermines the credibility of both those who are accused of being "proxies" and those accused of having "proxies." In the former case, the term suggests that the party in question is not representing its peoples' interests, but rather those of an outside actor. The nation described as having proxies is implicitly accused of meddling in another country's affairs.
  103. The CIA Used To Infiltrate The Media. Now The CIA Is The Media. (April 16, 2021)
    In totalitarian dictatorships, the government spy agency tells the news media what stories to run, and the news media unquestioningly publish it. In free democracies, the government spy agency says “Hoo buddy, have I got a scoop for you!” and the news media unquestioningly publish it.
  104. The news media offers wall-to-wall propaganda every day. We only notice when a royal dies (April 10, 2021)

  109. The Left Will Never Achieve Its Goals Until It Prioritizes Countering Establishment Propaganda (March 6, 2021)
    The idea that China or Russia pose a threat to you is so self-evidently ridiculous, so transparently absurd, that the only way to make you believe it would be to propagandize you. And if you do believe it, that’s exactly what has happened. You can expand this principle to include the entirety of US foreign policy on the global stage today. No ordinary American benefits from the US having troops in Syria, sanctioning Venezuelans to death, supporting Saudi Arabia while it rapes Yemen, circling the planet with military bases and working to destroy any nation which refuses to bow to its dictates. The only way to get Americans to consent to any of these agendas is to propagandize them into doing so.

  116. New York Times Job Listing Shows How Western Propaganda Operates (November 21, 2020)
    In order to get a job at the New York Times, you need to demonstrate that you subscribe to the mainstream oligarchic imperialist worldview which forms the entirety of western mass media output.

  118. Robert Fisk had True Independence of Mind, Which is Why He Angered Governments and Parts of the Media (November 17, 2020)
    At the heart of Fisk's journalism was relentless and meticulous eyewitness reporting of events, a refusal to see complex conflicts in terms of black and white, while not surrendering to moral indifference and keeping a sense of outrage when confronted with real evil. Above all, perhaps, he showed an unbending refusal to back down when what he said was being denied, denounced or ignored by politicians and the media.
  119. Robert Fisk - Death Of A 'Controversial' Journalist (November 10, 2020)
    why do ‘mainstream’ commentators feel obliged to red-flag Fisk’s journalism with ‘controversial’ in this way, and why is it a 'weasel word'? Consider that the likes of the BBC's Andrew Marr, the Guardian's Martin Chulov and The Times' David Aaronovitch, and numerous others, will never be described as 'controversial', despite their highly controversial, in fact outrageous, warmongering bias.
  120. 'None Of It Reported': How Corporate Media Buried The Assange Trial (October 7, 2020)
    When it comes to arguably the most important political trial in our lifetimes, there is a not-so-curious media reluctance to dwell on it or even mention it, never mind grant it the kind of blanket coverage that celebrity trials regularly generate. Thus, media attention given to the extradition hearing of Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder and editor, was minimal and dwarfed by the coverage devoted to the actor Johnny Depp over the summer.

    The leaders of this new movement are replacing traditional liberal beliefs about tolerance, free inquiry, and even racial harmony with ideas so toxic and unattractive that they eschew debate, moving straight to shaming, threats, and intimidation. They are counting on the guilt-ridden, self-flagellating nature of traditional American progressives, who will not stand up for themselves, and will walk to the Razor voluntarily. They've conned organization after organization into empowering panels to search out thoughtcrime, and it’s established now that anything can be an offense

  138. Money, Power and Turf: Winning the Middle East Media War at Any Cost (December 9, 2019)

    When supporters of Catalan leaders jailed for organizing a democratic vote advance on Barcelona airport, media make a fuss over 'separatists' causing chaos. When the same tactic is used in Hong Kong, it's a 'pro-democracy' protest. In George Orwell’s 1984, The War Ministry was renamed the Ministry of Peace. Truth was Lies, Hate was Love. But author Lewis Carroll got there first.

    In the old George Carlin joke, the TV sportscaster announces: "Here's a partial score from the West Coast – Los Angeles 6."
