With People in the Streets Worldwide, Media Focus Uniquely on Hong Kong
Alan MacLeod | fair.org | 2019-12-06

From the Yellow Vests in France to demonstrations in Lebanon, Gaza, Chile, Ecuador and Haiti, sustained movements all over the planet have taken to the street demanding change. Yet US corporate media have been disproportionately interested in only one: the Hong Kong protests.

Free pass for Israel? Ilhan Omar notes silence after Israeli group linked to fake news operation targeting Muslim US congresswomen
rt.com | 2019-12-06
An Israeli group uses social media to vilify the first two Muslim women to serve in US Congress, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. But will the revelation spark accusations of foreign meddling? Omar doesn't seem to think so. | An investigation by the Guardian has uncovered an Israeli-based operation that uses 21 Facebook pages to pump out thousands of fake news posts per week. The paper said that the social media posts "inflame Islamophobia for profit" and have directly mentioned Omar more than 1,400 times, and Tlaib nearly 1,200 times, since the operation began two years ago.The Israeli group is accused of sharin…

'Sources say' stories are all fake news? Trump takes aim at media's penchant for anonymous tip-offs
rt.com | 2019-12-06
US President Donald Trump has fired off another volley of Twitter wisdom in his endless war against 'fake news,' advising people to ignore stories based on information from unnamed sources. | "Do not believe any article or story you read or see that uses 'anonymous sources' having to do with trade or any other subject," Trump tweeted on Friday. "Only accept information if it has an actual living name on it. The Fake News Media makes up many 'sources say' stories. Do not believe them!" | Do not believe any article or story you read or see that uses "anonymous sources" having to do with trade or any other subjec…

rt.com | 2019-12-06
Moscow has condemned the 'obviously politicized' US sanctions on Russian nationals allegedly behind the 'Evil Corp' malware operation, with the Foreign Ministry calling the accusations unfounded and promising to retaliate. | Eleven Russian individuals and six companies were sanctioned by the US on Tuesday for "links" to the so-called 'Evil Corp,' an alleged cyber crime syndicate that the US Department of Justice accused of stealing more than $100 million from Western institutions over the past decade. | Though the DOJ said it had received assistance from the Russian Federation authorities, the Russian Foreign…

Biased Media Coverage of Iranian Unrest and Protest Movement
Andrew Korybko | globalresearch.ca | 2019-12-05
The Mainstream Media is pushing forth the weaponized narrative that the Iranian government is carrying out a cover-up of mass killings that supposedly occurred during its recent unrest, though this is nothing more than an infowar conspiracy designed to make …

Bolivia's Russiagate scandal is a provocation to renege on agreed-upon deals
Eds. | mronline.org | 2019-12-05
The fake news allegations that Russia "meddled" in Bolivia's recent election in order to help ("former") President Morales win and the more recent claims late last month that its soldiers are supposedly "waiting for his return" in order to presumably help restore him to power are nothing more than provocations designed to manufacture the "plausible […] | Source…

Media Wonder: Why Can't Venezuela Be More Like Bolivia?
Joshua Cho | fair.org | 2019-11-26
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). But it's still rare to see them blatantly call for a right-wing coup without a hint of…

Activist Post | thelastamericanvagabond.com | 2019-11-12
