Yves Engler | counterpunch.org | 2019-07-25
Wouldn't you think the corporate media would be interested in the US embassy's reaction to the appointment of a new Canadian foreign minister? Especially if that reaction was to claim Ottawa had decided to adopt an "America First" foreign policy? Wouldn't some big newspaper or TV station, dedicated to telling the truth about what our…

The bipartisan BIG LIE: Trump's climate genocide is normal
Patrick Walker | nationofchange.org | 2019-07-24
Emulating Goebbels–but through Deafening Silence Anyone acquainted with propaganda's sordid history will recognize the words "big lie"–capitalized for emphasis in my article heading–as associated with Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. The words form part of an often cited passage (in fact probably a forgery wrongly attributed to Goebbels): If you tell a lie big enough …

Away from the screens of the mainstream media, the crude 'bigger is better' narrative that has dominated economic thinking for centuries is being challenged by a much gentler, more…

Remember 2016? Don't Put Your Faith in Political Polls
Staff | truthout.org | 2019-07-24
| "Averages and relationships and trends and graphs are not always what they seem. There may be more in them than meets the eye, and there may be a good deal less." –Darrell Huff, How to Lie With StatisticsHuff wrote his famous warning in 1954. Sixty-five years later, political polling somehow still dominates the "mainstream" national discourse. Even after what I call The Great Polling Uberfail of 2016, we still find ourselves mired in the statistical mud; "facts" are as malleable as mood, and clarity has…

Western Media Losing Enthusiasm for Failing Coup in Venezuela
Lucas Koerner | fair.org | 2019-07-23
When previously unknown Venezuelan opposition politician Juan Guaidó stood up in an East Caracas plaza and declared himself "interim president" of the South American country, Western corporate media were ebullient. | In those heady early days, corporate journalists could scarcely conceal their love affair with the 35-year-old politician, whom they likened to Barack Obama (CNN, 2/7/19) and described as a "freedom fighter" (Fox Business, 1/29/19)…

Arkansas Wants to Make Sure You Know 'Almonds Don't Lactate'
aclu.org | 2019-07-22
An Arkansas law censoring plant-based products isn't just absurd and unnecessary, it's unconstitutional. | The state of Arkansas thinks you're confused about whether a veggie burger comes from a cow. In fact, it thinks you're so confused that it passed a law making it illegal for companies to use words like "meat," "roast," and "sausage" to describe products that are not made from animals. Under the law, it doesn't matter if those words are modified by "vegan…
