For Corporate Media, It's 'Anybody But Sanders or Warren'
Norman Solomon | counterpunch.org | 2019-12-03
Anyone who's been paying attention should get the picture by now. Overall, in subtle and sledgehammer ways, the mass media of the United States — owned and sponsored by corporate giants — are in the midst of a siege against the two progressive Democratic candidates who have a real chance to be elected president in…

UK Election: How Propaganda Props Up Britain's "Particularly Extreme Form of Capitalism"
T.J. Coles | counterpunch.org | 2019-12-02
The establishment British media, be it the BBC or the privately-owned Sky News, have marginalized ordinary Britons who are critical of the neoliberalism, known as "capitalism." They and their allies in the right-wing print media have done so, in large part, by slandering the political representatives of the poor as "Marxist lunatics" and so on.

Media wonder: Why can't Venezuela be more like Bolivia?
Joshua Cho | mronline.org | 2019-11-28
Western corporate media outlets have often cried foul when foreign elections don't go the way the U.S. empire wants them to, and find roundabout ways to label the violent attempts by vocal right-wing minorities to use military forces to overthrow leftist governments as "protests" rather than coups (FAIR.org, 5/16/18, 5/1/19). | Source…

rt.com | 2019-11-28

Alan Macleod | mintpressnews.com | 2019-11-27
That Tucker Carlson is one of the few pundits willing to report on a bombshell revelation about a chemical attack in Syria, may say more about the state of the corporate press than it does about Carlson's character.

Western corporate media outlets have often cried foul when foreign elections don't go the way the US empire wants them to, and find roundabout ways to label the violent attempts by vocal right-wing minorities to use military forces to overthrow leftist governments as "protests" rather than coups (FAIR.org, 5/16/18, 5/1/19).

False Equivalence in the Age of Trump
Julie Hollar | fair.org | 2019-11-22
Even in the Trump era, corporate media, forever insistent on an "objective" approach that always hears out "both sides," continue to exhibit a dangerous blindness to their own biases. | In "In Primetime, Two Versions of Impeachment for a Divided Nation" ( 11/16/19), the New York Times' Michael Grynbaum offered "a glimpse at the country's divided political reality"

Activist Post | thelastamericanvagabond.com | 2019-11-12
Mike Pompeo continues to lead the propaganda push to get the public panicking about an Iran "nuclear breakout" even when all evidence shows that Iran is nowhere near capable of being a nuclear threat.
