ABC tells viewers that scenes of destruction in Gaza are in Israel

“In one stark example, ABC News’ Diane Sawyer misidentifies scenes of the aftermath of Israeli missile strikes in Gaza as destruction caused by Palestinian rocket fire.  As Sawyer segues into the segment, she says, ‘We take you overseas now to the rockets raining down on Israel today as Israel tried to shoot them out of the sky.’ Next to her is video footage not of Israelis or even Israel, but of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.  Sawyer then incorrectly describes an image of a Palestinian family gathering belongings in the smoking debris of a missile-hit home in Gaza as ‘an Israeli family trying to salvage what they can.'”

NBC Removes Reporter from Gaza After 4 Children Shelled To Death

“Foreign Correspondent for NBC News, Ayman Mohyeldin, witnessed the murder of four Palestinian boys via Israeli airstrike on Wednesday. After providing a firsthand account for NBC, he was contacted by the network’s executives, and was told to leave Gaza immediately.  NBC insisted that their decision to remove Mohyeldin from the region was due to ‘security concerns.’ However, according to Journalist Glenn Greenwald, they quickly proceeded to replace Mohyeldin, who is an Arabic-speaking, Egyptian-American with experience reporting in the region, with Richard Engel and an American producer who has never been to Gaza and speaks no Arabic.”

Paul Craig Roberts: Sanctions and Airliners

withkitties_150_1202

“Senator John McCain jumped on the supposition that there were US citizens aboard to call for punitive actions against Russia before the passenger list and the cause of the airliner’s fate are known.  The ‘investigation’ is being conducted by Washington’s puppet regime in Kiev. I think we already know what the conclusion will be.  The probability is high that we are going to have more fabricated evidence, such as the fabricated evidence presented by US Secretary of State Colin Powell to the UN ‘proving’ the existence of the non-existent Iraqi ‘weapons of mass destruction.’ Washington has succeeded with so many lies, deceptions and crimes that it believes that it can always succeed again.”

Role of the Alternative Media in Covering Cannabis Legalization

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“The nightmare of law enforcement is having crime go down when criminal acts are legalized. That seems to be what’s happening when it comes to marijuana.  And one can extrapolate that some or even much of the lawlessness that government intends to protect us from likely doesn’t exist.  On the contrary, it will likely create a good many jobs, a thriving additional industry and improve the quality of life for many who will enjoy the plant recreationally or use it medicinally. One could, of course, extend this observation to numerous other so-called victimless crimes where both parties consent to the so-called criminal activity.”

The History Channel’s Mendacious ‘The World Wars’ Propaganda

thelrcblog-5002

“Perhaps the less said about this egregious travesty of historical falsehoods and distortions of facts the better.  It is simply neocon agit-prop featuring ‘the usual suspects’ (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, McCain, McChrystal, Panetta, etc.) from the unconstitutional, preemptive wars of aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq as ‘expert commentators’ and their court historian Amen corner echo chamber. This is not objective history but advocacy for the unrestrained warfare state in which these war criminals were key participants.  In their attempts to portray a historical continuity from WWI to WWII to the failed wars they presided over — such a continuity exists but not the one they attempt to convey.”

Underestimate the Internet at Your Peril

“A decade ago we predicted that the mainstream media was a failed ‘sunk cost’ that kept people like Rupert Murdoch up at night. But the metamorphosis is even bigger than that. What we have also predicted is that the same sort of radical undermining is now beginning to infect the rest of the West’s gigantism. Big Finance, Big Politics, even Big Justice are all going to come under significant challenge in the next few years. In fact, it is already happening. Western governments – especially the US – are arming themselves against this occurrence, but bullets are useless against ideas … and the ideas that we are reporting on are fairly unstoppable until they run their course.”

Chicago Sun-Times First Major US Newspaper to Accept Bitcoin

“Following its successful test with bitcoin micropayments provider BitWall back in February, the Chicago Sun-Times has announced that it has partnered with San Francisco-based bitcoin startup Coinbase to accept bitcoin payments.  That test saw the newspaper receive more than 700 bitcoin donations over a 24-hour trial period in support of the non-profit Taproot foundation, which offers pro-bono service work to organisations tackling social problems.  The announcement makes the Sun-Times the first US newspaper to accept bitcoin as a payment option, a move that editor in chief Jim Kirk indicated was in line with its digital-first promotional strategy.”

U.S. press freedom plunges to 46th, behind former Soviet states

“The United States has plunged thirteen places in the World Press Freedom Index, placing it behind former Soviet states and other countries not typically known for press freedoms.  The massive drop is attributable mostly to the Obama Administration’s effort to crack down on whistleblowers. Obama’s Justice Department has filed suit against more whistleblowers than any other presidential administration in history.  Forty-sixth places it behind the former Soviet republics of Lithuania and Latvia and the satellite states of Romania, Poland and Czechoslovakia (both the Czech Republic and Slovakia). It also puts it behind Ghana, South Africa and El Salvador.”
