CNN staff say network’s pro-Israel slant amounts to ‘journalistic malpractice’

Insiders say pressure from the top results in credulous reporting of Israeli claims and silencing of Palestinian perspectives   by Chris McGreal  Part 1 CNN is facing a backlash from its own staff over editorial policies they say have led to a regurgitation of Israeli propaganda and the censoring of Palestinian perspectives in the network’s coverage of the war in Gaza. Journalists in CNN newsrooms in the US and overseas say broadcasts have been skewed by management edicts and a story-approval process that has resulted in highly partial coverage of the Hamas massacre on 7 October and Israel’s retaliatory attack on Gaza. “ The majority of news since the war began, regardless of how accurate the initial reporting, has been skewed by a systemic and institutional bias within the network toward Israel, ” said one CNN staffer. “ Ultimately, CNN’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war amounts to journalistic malpractice. ” According to accounts from six CNN staffers in multiple newsrooms, and more t

Exposed: Labour Plot To Purge Pro-Palestinian Left-Wing MPs

Owen Jones   Labour's leaders are planning to boot out MPs who have such outrageous extreme opinions as ' rich people can afford to contribute more ', ' public services are better run by the public ' and ' war crimes are bad '. Here's the proof.

'Clearly a victory for Russia' as ICJ dismisses bulk of Ukraine's terror case against Russia

FRANCE 24 English   The United Nations' top court on Wednesday mostly rejected Ukraine's claims that Russia was financing "terrorism" in eastern Ukraine, saying only that Moscow had failed to investigate alleged breaches.

Day 1761: Julian Assange still in prison and under slow-motion execution by the Anglo-American imperialist criminals

failed evolution   On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges.   The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   And the Anglo-American axis has now become officially a fascist coalition , framed by the rest of its Western pets. UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel, one of the most ruthless ever, decided to extradite Julian Assange to US. No surprise of course. The only question we had in mind is

Israel is a European Invention & Gaza Genocide Was Made in West, w/ MEPs Clare Daly & Mick Wallace

BreakThrough News   Why does Europe support Israel so much? What does Europe gain from the occupation of Palestine and further escalation across the Middle East? How much of this is Europe following its own interests versus being subservient to US imperial designs in the region, as we’ve seen with Ukraine? Is Europe actually united on this or are there segments of the body politic that disagree with the US and Israel’s imperialist aims in Gaza? Does the EU have any awareness of its own hypocrisy? And are there consequences for those who speak out against the status quo?  

Colonial law and the erasure of Palestine

The Real News Network   In Palestine, the law has been used as a tool of oppression to legitimize and advance the dispossession of the Palestinian people for more than a century. From the theft of Palestinian land by legal mechanisms to the non-recognition of Palestinians as a people with the inalienable right of self-determination, the law is yet another weapon wielded against the Palestinian people by Israel and its patrons.    Activist, attorney, and Rutgers University professor Noura Erakat joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss the use of lawfare against Palestine and her new book, Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine .

Why Israel’s War Is Genocide — and Why Biden Is Culpable

Israel has made no secret of it: it has embarked on a genocidal plan to “create conditions where life in Gaza becomes unsustainable.” And Joe Biden is its accomplice.   by Seth Ackerman   Part 2 - “It Doesn’t Get Any Worse” In the current conflict, Israel has devoted special effort to destroying hospitals — which it openly admits to targeting. Of Gaza’s thirty-six hospitals, only sixteen remain partially functional, with occupancy rates “ reaching 206 per cent in inpatient departments and 250 per cent in intensive care units, ” the UN reports. “ What we have been witnessing is a campaign that was planned. It was a plan to close down all the hospitals in the north, ” said Léo Cans, head of mission for Palestine with Doctors Without Borders. In the first half of January, aid groups planned twenty-nine critical missions to deliver emergency medical supplies to the northern Gaza Strip; twenty-two of them were refused by Israel. As a result of its attack on Gaza’s health system, “ doctors

The Shadowy, Intelligence-Linked Group Driving the US Towards War With Iran

"United Against Nuclear Iran does not miss an opportunity to try to bring the United States closer to a military conflict with Iran. And on the other side of the equation, they also have worked very hard to oppose efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran relationship."   by Alan Macleod   Part 2 - Warmongers, Inc What these individuals all have in common is that they are board members of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a shadowy but influential organization dedicated to pushing the West toward a military confrontation with the Islamic Republic. Founded in 2008, the group is led by neoconservative hawks and has close ties to both U.S. and Israeli intelligence. It does not divulge where it receives its copious funding. However, it is known that right-wing Israeli-American billionaire Sheldon Adelson was a source. There is strong circumstantial evidence that Gulf dictatorships may also be bankrolling the group, although UANI has strongly denied this. In 2019, Iran designated UAN

Ο πραγματικός λόγος που το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη επιθυμεί διακαώς την ίδρυση ιδιωτικών πανεπιστημίων παραβιάζοντας το σύνταγμα

 του system failure   Όπως έχουμε ήδη αναφέρει σε προηγούμενο άρθρο , μπορούμε να δούμε τη σημερινή κατάσταση στην άκρως νεοφιλελεύθερη Αμερική, για να καταλάβουμε το βαθμό αποτυχίας του ιδιωτικού μοντέλου στα πανεπιστήμια. Ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα προβλήματα που αντιμετωπίζει σήμερα η Αμερικανική νεολαία είναι τα φοιτητικά χρέη. Πολλοί μάλιστα μιλούν για την επόμενη μεγάλη φούσκα που είναι έτοιμη να σκάσει και που μπορεί να αποδειχθεί πολύ χειρότερη από τη φούσκα των στεγαστικών δανείων που συμπαρέσυρε την παγκόσμια οικονομία το 2008.  Η επιβολή του μοντέλου της ελεύθερης αγοράς στην ανώτατη εκπαίδευση, σε συνδυασμό με ορισμένες ραγδαίες τεχνολογικές εξελίξεις στην αγορά εργασίας, δημιούργησε μια ολόκληρη γενιά ανέργων με πανεπιστημιακού επιπέδου γνώσεις, οι οποίοι δυσκολεύονται όλο και πιο πολύ να βρουν δουλειά ανάλογη των προσόντων και δεξιοτήτων τους. Στην Αμερική τους αποκαλούν πλέον 'hyper-educated poor'. Το όλο και πιο σαθρό αυτό σύστημα βασίζεται αποκλειστικά στο κυνήγι το
