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 […]

These top Republicans all agree, their service to the GOP was done out of short sighted stupidity.

The MMA Festival fight card in Rostov on Don on Friday night featured 11 bouts, but none were as spectacular, or dramatic, as the heavyweight clash between Yuri Kiselov and Timur Magdiev.

That appearance, as it turned out, proved to be a shortlived, and ill-advised, one as he was knocked out clean by a colossal right hand by Kiselov, who came out of his corner looking […]

Right-wing militias are walking out of the anti-government shadows and standing side by side with law enforcement, and sometimes Republican Party officials, to counter demonstrations against racist police brutality.

Dozens of anti-police protesters have been swarming around downtown Denver, Colorado, setting fires and smashing windows, with authorities seemingly struggling to contain the hit-and-run violence.

Portland police have explained why it chose not to intervene in violent clashes between heavily armed right and left-wing groups, insisting they “willingly” engaged in physical interactions which “quickly resolved themselves.” Responding to criticism and questions about “why the events downtown were not declared a riot,” Portland police said the officers were heavily outnumbered and lacked crowd control resources to address such a massive gathering. Earlier on Saturday, hundreds of people belonging to multiple rival groups with “various ideologies” descended on Downtown Portland, while the police had only “roughly 30 officers available for crowd management.” As the groups clashed, police remained on […]
Maïmouna Doucouré’s Cuties, available on Netflix from September 9, has been met with the ire of the religious right, as well as a wider online public that believes that the film sexualizes children. To be fair, the poster Netflix initially chose to promote the French film, which won the World Cinema Directing Award at Sundance in 2019, was a grossly inappropriate choice—one that decontextualized a scene from the film in order to promote a movie about the complexities of growing up in both modest and modern cultures at once. Netflix has taken the image down but, despite outcry, is continuing with […]

If there’s one thing the liberal media loves, it’s a narrative. Sometimes, they all start using the same words and phrases, yet they think no one notices. In the video montage below, you can see hosts at CNN and MSNBC, repeatedly using the term ‘war’ and linking it to Trump, talking about his supposed war on this and war on that.

If he wants to identify that mysterious “some reason,” he needn’t look any further than his own colleagues. Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. months ago, Fox News hosts and guests have repeatedly […]
