Above photo: Card sections with the image of the Dictator and his wife during the 88 Seoul Olympics. The Death of South Korean dictator Chun Doo Hwan, signals the consolidation of a false media narrative. This is misleading and dangerous. Speaking ill of the dead General Chun Doo Hwan was the corrupt military dictator that ruled Korea from 1979-1988, before handing off the presidency to his co-conspirator General Roh Tae Woo. Chun took power in a coup in 1979, and during his presidency he perpetrated the largest massacre of Korean civilians since the Korean war. He died on November 23rd, in pampered, sybaritic luxury, impenitent and […]

Above Photo: Antara Raman. What the media can never openly admit is that the largest peaceful democratic protest the world has seen in years – certainly the greatest organised at the height of the pandemic – has won a mighty victory. A victory that carries forward a legacy. Farmers of all kinds, men and women – including from Adivasi and Dalit communities – played a crucial role in this country’s struggle for freedom. And in the 75th year of our Independence, the farmers at Delhi’s gates reiterated the spirit of that great struggle. Prime Minister Modi has announced he is backing […]
Above Photo: Support for Bolivarian Venezuela in the US. (Bill Hackwell) America’s interference in the electoral process in Venezuela is laid bare in a series of files that reveal how Washington provided significant investment to train political activists in campaigning effectively online. Documents released to researchers under the US Freedom of Information Act have revealed how US intelligence fronts weaponized social media to promote Venezuela’s right-wing opposition, and assist their election to parliament, thus laying the foundations for Washington’s appointment of Juan Guaido as the country’s leader in January 2019. The files indicate that in October 2013, seven months after the […]
November 4 is the one year anniversary of the TPLF attacks on the Ethiopian government’s Northern Command base, kicking off a brutal war. The TPLF is now advancing towards Addis Ababa, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency. The U.S. government has continued to condemn Ethiopia for fighting back against the TPLF insurgency, leading many Ethiopians to believe that Washington is supporting a violent coup in their country. Hermela Aregawi is an Ethiopian-American journalist of Tigrayan descent who has been relentlessly attacked and smeared for calling out biased media reporting on the conflict. She joined Rania Khalek to discuss […]

Above Photo: A CIO cartoon about demand-side economics, from 1955. Many in the media are very upset that workers at the bottom end of the pay scale feel secure enough to demand higher pay and better working conditions. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of watching a television anchor, who earns $6 million a year, complain that 3 percent of the workforce quit their job in August. They seemed to find the idea of workers quitting unsatisfactory jobs appalling. For those of us who think that all workers should be able to get decent pay, have decent working conditions, and be treated with respect on […]

In this feature, we interview Syrian-born journalist Richard Medhurst about state propaganda, the mainstream media, and U.S. imperialism. Roberto Sirvent: Can you share a little bit about the mainstream media’s coverage of Biden’s decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan? What are some subtle and not-so-subtle ways that pundits and politicians maintain an imperial and colonial framework in their analysis? Richard Medhurst: One of the more subtle ways they’ve tried to keep the war going is printing headlines saying that women’s’ rights are imperiled by a US withdrawal. The notion that a bunch of imperialists, who have killed scores of women and mothers, and turned […]
Global defense company BAE Systems has revealed the rendering of its proposal for the Army’s new infantry vehicle – the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle. The new vehicle, slated to ultimately replace the decades-old Bradley, will achieve operational combat status as soon as 2028 – and, according to Army documents, pave the way forward into a new era of major, high-powered, mechanized warfare. Just this week, BAE Systems’ official Twitter account posted an image of an advanced armored vehicle to support mechanized infantry operations through the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program. – ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW – “Stay tuned as we […]
Russia is developing an advanced version of its secret main battle tank with a new turret and gun under the Burlak program, according to military expert Alexey Khlopotov. There was little in the way of updates on this project until last Wednesday when alleged photos of the Burlak tank with a modified turret surfaced on social media. The Burlak program, which began in 2005, was aimed to replace Soviet-era main battle tanks with a common design by 2025. But due to financial problems, the project was frozen indefinitely. – ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW – The program covered develop a unified […]

With only some 2,500 of BP’s global workforce accepting a golden handshake to leave voluntarily, the balance of the 10,000 lay-offs announced by CEO Bernard Looney in June as part of ‘greening’ the oil giant will be made based on staff performance ratings. Three-quarters of the 10,000 staff set to be laid off worldwide by oil giant BP will have no say in the matter, it has emerged. BP confirmed to Reuters on Friday that only around 2,500 staff had volunteered for redundancy under the plans announced in June by new Chief Executive Bernard Looney.

Aside from the housefly that commanded the debate stage for a few minutes by sitting on Mike Pence’s head, his visibly infected pink eye has also sparked concern, causing people to question whether the vice president is healthy or infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus. While the US vice president, Mike Pence, tested negative for COVID-19 prior to his Wednesday stand-off with the Democratic VP challenger, Kamala Harris, social media users paid lots of attention to what appeared to be his pink eye, suggesting that the infection may be related to conjunctivitis – a known symptom of the coronavirus. Examining multiple close-ups, […]
Mike Pence defending himself against Kamala Harris’ accusations during the VP debate came across as a case of “mansplaining” to liberals who dissected his performance. However, some noted it is “up to the candidate to talk back.” “She got run over by Pence over and over again. The moderator did nothing about it, but she kept her poise, she kept her composure, and she did great tonight,” CNN’s Van Jones said in a post-analysis, giving Pence a new title: “mansplainer-in-chief.” Similar takes could be found on other mainstream networks. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos noted while talking with Martha Raddatz that “a lot […]

Belarus is cracking down on reporters. The nation’s government, led by President Alexander Lukashenko, whose election was mired in controversy and has not been recognized by the European Union, announced Friday it was canceling the press accreditations for all foreign journalists immediately. The move comes as Belarus continues blocking its citizens from accessing local media websites, including the Belarusian branch of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, in the wake of a massive, three-day internet outage and weeks of protests over the Aug. 8 election. Now, some media outlets are fighting back. To make their mobile apps more resilient, some Belarusian news organizations are using NewNode, a decentralized […]

Media on the incumbent web is in crisis. It turns out that paying publishers for clicks, endless loops of “content” and ads, all served on platforms far beyond their maximum-viable scale is ideal for misinformation, disinformation and the decay of trust. The solution, according to various media innovation prognosticators, is the “passion economy.” The argument goes that, since anyone can create content now, it follows that the lumbering media institutions of the past will be unbundled and replaced with a swarm of individuals: Smart, sharp, upstart newsletter writers, podcasters and maybe even TikTokkers. Substack will save us… hopefully. Joon Ian Wong […]

The latest guidelines say people in an “established relationship” can sleep together but appeared to ban “casual sex” between strangers. Social media has reacted with great delight at an awkward conversation between Health Secretary Matt Hancock and Sky News presenter Kay Burley on whether “casual sex” has been banned by the government in the light of the pandemic. Ms Burley, who is notorious for her belligerent interviews with politicians, was unusually bashful as she probed Mr Hancock about […]
US President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr have gone on the warpath against Big Tech, unveiling proposed reforms to the firms’ Section 230 liability that would curtail their ability to effect political censorship. Singling out Twitter’s censorship of “conservative views,” the president warned the major tech platforms that the days of their exercising unrestrained political influence were numbered. He was speaking on Wednesday at a roundtable discussion with Attorney General William Barr, nine of his Republican state counterparts, and Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), one of Congress’ most vocal critics of Big Tech.

We know that Vladimir Putin takes his lifelong campaign to disrupt American democracy and destroy the very foundations of Western civilization extremely seriously—but that doesn’t mean he and his state media minions can’t have a little fun with it now and then. A bizarre and, frankly, deeply disturbing ad from the state-controlled RT network shows a deep-faked President Donald Trump joining the channel as an anchor. Although the wig is dodgy, the video superimposes Trump’s face onto a chubby body and plays real clips of him denigrating CNN and lavishing praise on “amazing” Russia. The advert starts with Trump rolling up […]

There is no shortage of local topics that interest the Kremlin—from the poisoning of an inconvenient dissident, to the events in neighboring Belarus and the ongoing battle against the coronavirus. In the thick of it all, America remains front and center of the Russian state media’s steely focus. In Putin’s Russia, U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s rallies, events and press comments are viewed and reported with maniacal obsession. Russian state media happily poked fun at the Trump campaign’s use of a stock photo of Russian-made fighter jets, but aside from an occasional jab, Moscow’s coverage of the Trump presidency closely resembles […]

The two nominations for President Donald Trump for the Nobel peace prize – for brokering deals in the Middle East and the Balkans – has prompted the Atlantic to call to cancel the award, sparking pushback from conservatives. “End the Nobel Peace Prize,” the Atlantic declared in a headline Friday.

Trump’s nomination was apparently the last straw for the Atlantic, which said it “shows that peace had its chance and blew it.” […]

Conservatives are slamming mainstream media outlets after their almost identical coverage of the Senate Democrats’ decision to vote against a coronavirus relief bill appeared to blame Republicans for the “failure.” After months of negotiations, a coronavirus stimulus package, which included funding for schools and Covid-19 testing, unemployment benefits, and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), was voted down by every Democrat in the Senate on Thursday. The only Republican to join them was Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). Needing 60 votes to pass, the bill earned a 52-47 outcome and it’s now unlikely a coronavirus stimulus package will pass before November’s presidential election. […]

As the presidential election in the United States draws closer, Putin’s Russia is paying close attention. Pro-Kremlin talking heads on Russian state television are discussing events in America with an air of both profound interest and deep understanding, treating electoral turmoil abroad as a real-life game of The Sims. In Moscow, President Trump’s potential re-election is still considered the sole beneficial outcome, and the expectations are high. Having experienced a windfall of geopolitical freebies from the Trump administration, analysts and military experts on Russian state television anticipate that if he is re-elected, Trump will finally pay out like a slot machine.

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson joined Steve Malzberg on Beat the Press Saturday on Russia Today. During the interview Malzberg brought up the recent comments by Jill Biden’s former husband. According to reports Bill Stevenson, Jill’s ex, accused the potential First Lady of having an affair with Joe Biden and then lying about how they met in the 1970s. The networks ignored this scandal last week during the convention when the report first broke. Sharyl Attkisson said this alleged affair should be fair game for the media.

On Friday prosecutors stated that a probe into other possible co-conspirators of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein “remains active”, implying that the case might soon see further developments in terms of the prosecution of other alleged criminal associates of the late paedophile. As the investigation into convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network “remains active”, court filings suggest that the arrest of further “co-conspirators” is an open possibility, reported The Sun. Currently, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, 58, the late financier’s ex-girlfriend and alleged “madam”, is the only one of his former associates to be charged by US authorities. Jeffrey Epstein was […]
As the nation prepares itself for four days of non-stop racism, conspiracy-mongering, incitement to violence, and hundreds if not thousands of outright falsehoods to be communicated to the public by the president, his party, and their supporters this week at the virtual Republican convention, it behooves us to take a short look backward and try to understand how we arrived at this point: where we have a president who has proven himself to be an almost comically pathological liar; one whose word cannot be accepted on literally any topic, whether it be toilet flushing, cancer-causing windmills or imaginary terrorist attacks—and yet, […]
A graphic used by CNN to break down speakers at the Republican National Convention described Nick Sandmann as someone who “sued major media outlets over viral video,” leaving out important details, including their own settlement. The graphic, spotted by reporter Cameron Gray, also provided no image for Sandmann, despite doing so for others. While CNN’s description is technically correct, it is quite misleading. It is true Sandmann sued major media outlets, including CNN, but these were defamation suits stemming from a 2019 video showing the former Covington Catholic High School student seemingly mocking Nathan Phillips, a Native American protester taking part […]
The organisation bills itself as an international aid agency that provides humanitarian relief to over 40 countries in the world irrespective of gender, race, or religious belief. Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband once described the organisation as representing “the values that bind Britain together as a liberal democracy.” The full board of the UK’s largest Muslim charity set to resign on Sunday following revelations that one of its directors praised terrorists and engaged in anti-Semitic slurs on social media, according to The Times. Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), which is based in the city of Birmingham, has admitted that a number of […]

But people close to them started a media bacchanalia and could not tell apart doctors from the administration. They are the same people who complain about state propaganda, but they outdid everyone,” said Boris Teplykh, the head of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the Moscow-based […]
Throughout the week, the Democratic National Convention has been on prime time TV every night. If you watched any of it, you would have heard some crazy things, but the REALLY crazy stuff was happening during the day, and the media didn’t show you any of that. Tucker Carlson recently exposed this in a must-see segment on his show. Here’s a partial transcript via FOX News: TRENDING: Convicted Rapist, Torturer and Killer Who Squeezed Her Victim’s Testicles with Pliers Speaks at DNC as “Impactful Community Leader” Tucker reveals the DNC party leaders don’t want you to see, where extremism and anti-Americanism […]
As the first non-white woman to marry a senior member of Britain’s royal family, Meghan Markle has been subjected to appalling levels of racist abuse and trolling on social media. Indeed, in the recent biography of the couple by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, it was revealed that Meghan was racially abused on her social media accounts using vile epithets. Sources close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have hinted to The Daily Beast in recent weeks that one of the main areas the couple wished to impact was digital responsibility, and harnessing the positive energies of social media and online […]
The brutal murder of 17-year-old Veronica Lee Baker in North Carolina has become another shocking crime ignored by the national media because the victim was white and the people involved in her murder are black. While some may argue this is a local crime that should only be covered by local news, the media reports on every sleight and insult by a white person against a person of color, see the cases of Amy Cooper or the Covington kids for a couple of examples. If a white woman simply calling the police on a black person who was threatening her is […]
The offer by Heathrow’s testing facility, which is yet to be rolled out, has been described “as yet another example of rip-off Britain” by commentators online. David Evans, Joint CEO at Collinson – an aviation services company working together with Heathrow and the logistics firm Swissport – said in a statement on 19 August that a new facility has been created in Heathrow Terminal 2. “This T2 facility can process a volume of 13,000 tests a day, which can scale further with demand. We know the logistics work needed and are ready to go with the tests. All we need […]
The platform has recently gone after certain media entities, adding labels to accounts and tweets tied to certain government officials and “state-affiliated media” – but some outlets are more equal than others. Twitter’s search tool appears to have started ghosting the accounts of several news organisations from Russia and China in a follow-up to its selective crackdown on “state-affiliated media”. The Twitter pages of Russia’s Sputnik and RT, as well as China’s Xinhua and the Global Times, no longer appear in the drop-down pick list when their name is typed in the search bar if the user doesn’t follow them. This […]
