In the ‘NYTimes,’ Israeli captives are ‘hostages.’ But Palestinians are ‘prisoners.’ The biased coverage continues


The liberal establishment is finally criticizing ethnic cleansing in Gaza now that they can blame Trump


Some of the most fervent pushback to Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza is coming from the same people, institutions, and newsrooms that refused to challenge, and even supported, the mass slaughter of Palestinians during the Biden administration. Source
Biden won’t set red lines for Israel so long as AIPAC is ‘top’ Democratic campaign funder


AIPAC has spent $12 million in just two congressional races. Joe Biden notices even if the media doesn’t. Source
The mainstream media distorted our anti-Vietnam War protests 50 years ago. They’re following the same strategy today


Fifty years ago, I joined in protests against the Vietnam war. Today the mainstream media is smearing pro-Palestine student protests in ways that are even worse than how we were slandered back then. Source
How the New York Times fights America’s wars


The New York Times is not an unbiased fount of information, but a sophisticated ideological weapon. Our goal is to unmask the Times and expose the paper for what it is: a tool of empire encased in a liberal veneer. Source
The media is advancing a false narrative of ‘rising antisemitism’ on campus by ignoring Jewish protesters


Jewish students participating in pro-Palestine protests on their campuses would have valuable things to say about the alleged “rising antisemitism” at their schools. But the media is ignoring them. Source
A secret internal ‘NYTimes’ memo reveals the paper’s anti-Palestinian bias is even worse than we thought


Kudos to the anonymous New York Times staffers who leaked the paper’s offensive internal guide about the language it won’t permit in its reports on Israel/Palestine, and more kudos to The Intercept for publishing it. The shocking revelation should prompt an even broader examination of the biased language that has long been routine in the […]
The mainstream U.S. media is hiding key truths in its coverage of Iran’s retaliatory attack


Mainstream U.S. media coverage of Iran’s retaliation for Israel’s April 1 attack on an Iranian embassy building in Damascus was poor, but could have been worse. Six months of widespread media criticism may be having a modest impact. And there was a welcome surprise on cable news. CNN naturally rousted Wolf Blitzer last night to […]
Mainstream media finally reports on Gaza famine but won’t admit Israel is deliberately responsible


With each passing day, the alarm sirens about famine in Gaza are screaming louder than ever, but the mainstream U.S. media continues to hide or downplay Israel’s responsibility for the mass starvation. Just the other day, one of the world’s leading experts on mass hunger, Alex de Waal, said, in the Guardian: “We are about […]
The counterrevolutionary nature of liberal feminist support for Gaza


March 10, 2024 Source: Al Mayadeen English This article is a historical analysis of liberalism, how it is imperial by nature, with a focal lens on the counterrevolutionary nature of feminist movements that do not show support for Gaza. By Tala Alayli In Malcolm X’s analysis of white liberals, he explained that the liberal can […]
STUDY FINDS MEDIA GIANTS NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, AND FOX NEWS PUSHING FOR US WAR IN YEMEN


FEBRUARY 6TH, 2024 Source Alan Macleod MintPress study of major U.S. media outlets’ coverage of the Yemeni Red Sea blockade has found an overwhelming bias in the press, which presented the event as an aggressive, hostile act of terrorism by Ansar Allah (a.k.a. the Houthis), who were presented as pawns of the Iranian government. While […]
Dehumanization and misinformation in service of genocide


The dehumanization of Muslims and Arabs combined with outright misinformation about October 7 is the engine powering the genocide in Gaza. Source
Netanyahu just said Israel will permanently occupy the land ‘from the river to the sea.’ The U.S. media is covering it up


The other day Benjamin Netanyahu produced his most memorable statement since October 7. He said that his ultimate aim is that Israel will permanently occupy all the territory “from the river to the sea.” There is video of him saying it in Hebrew. He was double-crossing decades of official U.S. policy, which is supposed to […]
Mainstream media covers up Israeli calls to drive two million Palestinians into permanent exile


The mainstream U.S. media is almost totally ignoring incendiary statements by powerful Israeli officials who say openly they want to push Palestinians out of Gaza forever. Source
Israel is provoking the U.S. into a conflict with Iran — but the media ignores the danger


In addition to killing thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, Israel has been routinely attacking at least four other nations in the region: Iran, Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon. Why does the U.S. media keeps the American public in the dark? Source
Western media’s reference to the ‘Hamas-run’ Health Ministry is another dehumanizing tactic enabling Israel’s genocide


Labeling every part of Gaza as connected to Hamas makes every part of Gaza a legitimate military target. This is what Israel did with the Gaza Health Ministry and Al-Shifa Hospital, echoed uncritically by Western mainstream media. Source
The Shift: Misleading U.S. headlines on Palestine activism


Studies have shown that most Americans just read the headlines and don’t bother clicking on the story. This is concerning on its own terms, but it’s especially frightening as it relates to the U.S. media’s coverage of anti-Zionism and antisemitism. WWE star’s ‘likes’ of antisemitic posts cause firestorm—but no sanctions, declared a recent one from […]
The Stenographer Party


THE STENOGRAPHER PARTY took place outside a fancy Manhattan building, and those in attendance, I imagined, were eating veal and aggressively patting each other on the back. Congratulations were due and I, with other writers and journalists, over a hundred of them, waited outside to deliver. The ceremony was supposed to be over by 9:30 […]
Years of mainstream media neglect of Palestinian reality means that truths come as shocks to most Americans


The tweet above, by the distinguished writer Sarah Schulman, went viral recently. Anyone who follows Israel/Palestine even reasonably closely may be just as surprised as Schulman was that a college student was stunned at seeing Gaza called “an open-air prison.” You don’t have to even agree with the characterization to at least recognize that it […]
New York Times Claims ‘Economic Turmoil’ if Trump Enforces Border Laws


The nation will be pushed toward “social and economic turmoil,” if a reelected President Donald Trump tries to enforce Congress’s border laws, the New York Times claimed on November 11. “Sweeping Raids, Giant Camps and Mass Deportations: Inside Trump’s 2025 Immigration Plans,” declared the headline for an article about President Donald Trump’s campaign promises to enforce […]
