Exactly. Any good writing teacher will counsel you to use active verbs, which implies writing in the active voice. Meanwhile, we have an epidemic of passive voice reporting in mainstream media for exactly the reason you pose -- hide the real facts..
As we don't "name names" but rather euphemisms that the perpetrators of the crimes against humanity hide behind -- until we get one clown, Netanyahu, to take the fall for the rest.
If Netanyahu is held responsible then the uproar over the genocide will subside. Our attention will be turned to "something else", and the (unfortunately) Jewish-owned New York Times, will be "the paper of record" that will redirect us. Right behind will be the Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post.
Folks might want to compare those resources against that of substack which had a 2021 revenue of only $9M and 92 employees. Your friends probably don't access substack.
Or check out the Reddit IPO which is over subscribed but with a value approaching $1B and even more depending on how you valuate the shares. They are owned by the Newhouse Family with a networth of over $24B.
How is substack to compete?
Have you been to Reddit? It is composed of highly restricted "silos" of information. On many, if you so much as breathe a hint of being "progressive" (meaning in the sense that you give a damn about others) you will be immediately and permanently banned. Get enough of those and you get kicked off Reddit entirely.
Check it out. These guys are your problem. I really hate to point this out but Newhouse is "Jewish" according to wikipedia.
A different media mogul is Conrad Black. He is not "Jewish" but is married to one.
Again, this is NOT a condemnation of "all Jews", but information that I hope can be used to understand why Israel appears to be the tail that wags the dog.
It is the Oligarchy wanting to protect their position of privilege.
John Zwiebel, I feel compelled to address/correct some of the facts (and opinions) that you have expressed:
(1) Reddit is seeking a valuation ~6.4B with $31-34 per share, and knowing how the stock market works, it will shoot up much more than that (in the extremely short-term).
(2) >>"Have you been to Reddit? It is composed of highly restricted "silos" of information. On many, if you so much as breathe a hint of being "progressive" (meaning in the sense that you give a damn about others) you will be immediately and permanently banned."
I have been on Reddit for over 5 years - and my experience has been very different from yours. Each community has its own moderation rules (some I agree with others I don't). I am somewhat far left and have never had issues in any of the groups - one does need to be respectful, argue in good faith, and not be insulting/threatening. I believe your framing of Reddit communities is disingenuous. There is a very large community of progressives (even in the way you seem to define it), and apparently our experiences have varied greatly.
The problem I have with your statement/characterization of Reddit is not one of "differences in opinion" between your and my experiences. It is one of anecdotal evidence. You make an all-encompassing judgement/statement on Reddit based on "your experiences" that may not be representative of the millions of other people's experiences of the platform - and you do it in a way so as to suggest that "your opinion" is the definitive/majority/prominent one.
Yes, depending on how the stock is evaluated the Reddit price can be as high as you say. I'm not sure it matters in this discussion.
Let's remember who owns Reddit and who will profit from the IPO. Why are you making excuses for the Oligarchy?
That your (reported) experience on Reddit is very different than mine is to be expected. You don't seem to be anywhere close to "slightly left" unless you mean that you're "slightly left" of Biden.
I'm sure it was obvious that I was commenting on my personal experience with Reddit. Readers are more than welcome to decide for themselves. My only hope is they realize who owns Reddit.
Why do you consider Reddit to be any different from any of the other Social Media or Big Tech corporations? They are all controlled by monied interests, corporations and the financial elite. Meta, Apple, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, Twitter(X), you name it - the list is endless. But this isn't just in the space of Big Tech. This corporate control is prevalent in every industry.
>>"You don't seem to be anywhere close to "slightly left""
I don't think you're qualified to make that statement as you really don't know much about me or my views. Similarly, I would not make a statement on any of your political leanings/ideologies as I don't know enough about you.
>>"Let's remember who owns Reddit and who will profit from the IPO."
This is the same as every other IPO of such/most corporations. This is the way the financial system (in the US) is structured - to favor the elite. It is a rigged system. There is nothing about it that is unique to Reddit. So why are you making it about Reddit? And regardless of who owns majority stakes in it (Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Zoroastrians, whatever) the financial system and incentives still work a certain way and favor a certain class of people. So to tie any such corporations and systems to a certain type of people (eg. Jews) is to incorrectly arrive at conclusions and conflating how systems of power work. If you look at some of the largest non-US corporations in the world - eg. in China, India, many other economies - you will find that it is not Jews that control those corporations. If you embark on a serious academic and statistical approach on analzing ownership of global financial assets (not one based on oft-repeated tropes) you might land up questioning your assumptions and conclusions.
>>"Why are you making excuses for the Oligarchy?"
I am not making any excuses for the oligarchy. The Oligarchy is the oligarchy - regardless of faith, religion, spiritiuality, ethnicity, nationality, etc. The oligarchy can always be expected to do what is in their best interest - to the detriment of 99% of the people on the planet.
Here is something else for you to think about - re:SubStack
All corporations grow, evolve, change hands, change ownership structures, change policies, change financial management, etc. Maybe in the future it is conceivable that some of the owners of a future SubStack could possibly be Jewish (amongst others). In that scenario, will you be inclined to make similar insinuations and correlations about the "Jewish" ownership/control of SubStack?
Yes, as Pol Pot famously said, "Mistakes were made." But there is also the magical substitution of subjects and agents. The proper headline would be something like "Biden Starves People of Gaza" since the starvation is with and by his will. He could stop the starvation one minute from now. He chooses not to.
You left out that most of the world's media--print, TV, online, music, books, radio-is owned by six megalithic, octopus-like corporations, these corporations all have ties with each other, and they have ownership of weapons companies, so they have an extra reason to slant things in a pro war way.
Thank you, Caitlin. The one lesson the Palestinians have taught us repeatedly is to become media literate, to see through lies, disinformation and special pleading.
What can you expect from fecal rags like the Times when that in-charge Zionist Sulzberger family daily publishes prominent front page scumbag lunatics like Thomas Friedman offering incredible rubbish like: "If you are calling for a 'cease-fire now' in Gaza and not a 'cease-fire and hostage release now,' it’s making the problem worse. Because it just feeds Israelis’ fears that the world is against them, no matter what they do." Oh poor poor Israel!
Prior to which statement Friedman accuses Hamas of choosing the "most dovish Israelis" (settlers) to attack. This juvenile display of twisted Zionist reality reminds me of my fifteen year-old self baldfacedly lying to my dad the first time I wandered drunk into my home after midnight, struggling to sound coherently in touch with reality as I scraped together any lame excuse before I sprinted for the porcelain god and vomited.
It would be amusing to leave this comment in Friedman's Times column, merely to see how much defensive return-fire it would draw from his large collection of Zionist shitlib defenders.
The real truth is that the US is committing the starvation at this point. None of this goes on without US backing and approval. It’s barely worth mentioning Israel at this stage of the genocide. Of course The NY Times is a filthy state mouthpiece.
The media landscape changed everything in the West. Look at the Guardian when Glenn Greenwald wrote for them and today. Do you guys believe the WAPO would publish today anything damaging to the Biden's regime like the Pentagon Papers?
What's interesting is many of these big papers did print what Wikileaks released. But they only went after Assange - not WAPO or the New York Times.
I think in the past, when Ellsberg released the Pentagon Papers - news outlets in the US were not so beholden to the oligarchs and there were more media outlets than we have today. There were also some US laws on the books that required big news organizations to provide some level of objectivity to the American public - which they subsequently got rid of - along with loosening the regulation of antitrust laws.
It's not only in the U.S.. in Germany too, Der Spiegel was premier Liberal newspaper in post war Germany - they challenged the Government at every turn, today they are a regimes mouthpiece.
does anybody have a good source on how many have actually died in the genocide at this point. that 30k figure just keeps static, while Israel keeps attacking and starving people. iirc Ralph Nader claimed it was nearing 200k at this point.
Kyle Kulinsky on Secular Talk whom I watch pretty regularly - although I disagree with some of his pro-democratic party leanings, but otherwise is quite reliable (and ethical) - cites Infographics from Mem, the Middle East Monitor. Which is about as reliable as the public can get right now IMO:
In response to your media analysis, some of it is more than just informal class politics. Some of it is deliberate. Let me offer an example:
NJ Spotlight claimed to be a so called independent media outfit, established to provide substantive coverage of state policy. They were formed in response to the demise of NJ Network news and the erosion of corporate media. They began with some solid and critical coverage, but soon began to repeat the mainstream pattern and narratives. Recently, they were absorbed by NY PBS affiliate WNET. That was the death knell.
In that article you linked to at Consortium News, I feel like it was you burying the lead, there...with #'s14 & 15. The work of Alex Constantine focused like a laser on that point, and still does. Noam Chomsky is a guardian of the leftward portion of the OVERTON WINDOW, with his bullshit about 'innocent' 'structural reasons' - why the news sucks consistently... I think it's quite telling that Chomsky was allowed to continue with "academic freedom" at a CIA and Pentagon connected base, like MIT, for most of his career... But he really got sloppy, and started exposing himself, later on, what with his glowing endorsement for former CIA Director James Woolsey for some high potentate position at MIT, and an office, just down the hall. He also attacked Oliver Stone, for approaching the ugly truth about the murder of JFK, by the REAL State (and, no doubt, there was also some Zionist input - since he was adamant that they shouldn't be allow to have Nukes, and his brother/Atty General was looking qt the forerunners of AIPAC, as unregistered foreign agents. And sure enough, LBJ was a serial killer, and a huge Zionist.). Chomsky later LIED about a lack of peer -reviewed science around the impossibility of the official narrative of "9/11". And that wasn't JUST ignorance. He kept repeating the fraudulent claim, until Richard Gage showed up to his office, with a stack of peer-reviewed science, proving not only the fraudulence of the official narrative - but of Chomsky's pronouncements. If you can find where he ever admitted his errors (lies) and corrected them - please let me know... I don't think that ever happened. He just went silent - as he should have been from the start - since he clearly didn't know the first thing, about what he was talking about. Then there was his endorsement of Concentration Camps and starvation, for those who refused to take the Pentagon and CIA's "WARP SPEED" Bioweapons. And lately, we find out that he and Jeffery Epstein were fairly tight - but what they talked about was 'none of our business'. It's time to pull Chomsky dien off of his pedestal. He's a GATEKEEPER, and at best a gateway drug, in the way to the actual truth.
In fact, the guy that Chomsky is talking to in that interview you mentioned, was probably working for MI-6, and/or the CIA. Do you really think that they'd leave an interview like that, up to chance? Hell, no - they wouldn't! That guy was just a spy, with intact cover - just like the CIA- and Wall Street Journal- 's Evan Gershkovich. Just like Luke Harding, and his MI-6 handler, Pablo Miller... Check with Gordon Dimmack on that... He's covered how those two were connected to the Skripals, and their misreported Fentanyl poisoning. http://dilyana.bg/skripals-poisoned-with-fentanyl/
In any event, The (NYT's) Sulzberger family are ARDENT Zionists. It's NEVER an accident that they run a CIA and Mossad MOCKINGBIRD substation. Anyone looking through the lies of the last 30 years, propagated by that rag, will find that they're constantly being exposed for their mendacity and deception. The Grayzone just OWNS THEM, on the regular. Dick Cheney's Intelligence Operative, Judith Miller kept her job there until it was no longer sustainable to keep her on the payroll.
Look at the consistency in the passive language used in all of the headlines that you rightfully cite, here. And then note that ALL of those outlets have a long history of working for and with the Spook Community. Reuters, BBC, CNN, NYT - all are bases for intelligence agency infiltration and control. And notice - they NEVER get things wrong, going in the other direction. If they're ever accused of accidentally saying something unpopular but true about the Empire and it's satellites - they'll just throw their reporter under the bus, and correct the story, until the Empire backs off.
This is SOOOOO good. Thank you for taking the time to post it. One thing I’d add is that all this perfidy is based on PNAC and the Powell Memo, both of which were formulated in the late 70’s after Nixon was impeached. The Right Wing—Cheney, Pearls, et al.— feared America would never elect another Rethuglican after what Nixon did to the party so they started this takeover. And it worked slowly and silently over 50 years to where we are now.
My only warning is that statement sounds like something Thom Hartmann would tell you... And as he admits - he's an NSA contractor. About what, we're not allowed to know... But based on the bullshit he pedals about the Vietnamese killing JFK...It appears that he has a very broad portfolio.
And surprise, surprise - both were pals with GHWBush41, and invitees to his funeral, and given secretive envelopes upon arrival. Instructions? New Contact information? Someone should ask them.
My point is that the CIA uses both parties, to advance all of their goals in a phased manner. There's no point in playing 'team sports', these days... Washington DC only has ONE team, in reality... And that's why the Censorship powers bill ("Tik Tok") can fly through Congress so easily.
Scoop Jackson was an early NeoCon. So is Joe Biden. Zoell Miller, $hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman - all ostensibly Democrats...
God, I haven’t listened to Thumb Hartman for over 20 years. He’s one of the dumbest guys on the planet. But just because he tees off on real news to make his Nit Wit News, doesn’t mean the real news is wrong. It just he has been told to spin it, for reasons we can guess.
I took a journalism class in high school, in Texas in the early 70s. I still remember the basic questions of journalism: Who, what, when, where, and how, with why answered if known.
The New York Times couldn't even pass a freshman high school journalism class. Though I imagine journalism is taught quite differently these days.
There must be a permanent ceasefire in Gaza in order to comply with the ICJ ruling. Not with Palestinians suffering under oppressive conditions, but as a place where all live with peace and equality. It is time for Pope Francis to do more than talk. He must go to Gaza and make a stand for peace and freedom.
Let us also support UNRWA. If our governments won’t act in accordance with humanity, then we will. https://www.unrwausa.org/donate Let us do it to honor Aaron Bushnell, or in memory of Hind Rajab.
Let us call for a No Fly-Zone over Gaza!
And while we’re at it! Let’s arrest the Biden Administration for genocide under 18 U.S. Code § 1091.
These are a few small things we can do. If we can do more, let us do more.
Ahh, still wrestling with the blind? Many moves the blind wrestler has up against the seeing fools.
Expect so many new ways to frame words and phrases from the chosen people, the chosen people's media, chosen people's press, chosen people's celebrities, chosen people's schools, the chosen people's Eichmann's, those in the professional managerial class.
Those media outlets you list are beholden to the chose people, so, famine is just another way to say a missed meal. Starvation is just another way to say restricted diet. Bombing schools and hospitals, those chosen people say, is just doing some landscaping.
Mowing the lawn? It's all just those old skinny chosen people in FLorida getting Botoxed and having skin cancers removed.
The Wailing Wall White House is a perfect place for a Zyclon Blinken. So, who controls the narrative? Who manufactures and engineers consent?
Yep, 'those' people.
Enjoy the buggering from all angles, into all aspects of your brains.
It is not malpractice but intentional obfuscation. Those so-styled journalists know damn well why Palestinians are starving and who is starving them.
Orwell wrote extensively on the use of the passive voice to hide facts that the writer would rather not mention.
Exactly. Any good writing teacher will counsel you to use active verbs, which implies writing in the active voice. Meanwhile, we have an epidemic of passive voice reporting in mainstream media for exactly the reason you pose -- hide the real facts..
As we don't "name names" but rather euphemisms that the perpetrators of the crimes against humanity hide behind -- until we get one clown, Netanyahu, to take the fall for the rest.
Nothing will change even if Netanyahu goes. Things have changed drastically.
Depends on your definition of "change".
If Netanyahu is held responsible then the uproar over the genocide will subside. Our attention will be turned to "something else", and the (unfortunately) Jewish-owned New York Times, will be "the paper of record" that will redirect us. Right behind will be the Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post.
Folks might want to compare those resources against that of substack which had a 2021 revenue of only $9M and 92 employees. Your friends probably don't access substack.

Not because Israel is on any level "Jewish". But because of their behavior.

The Al Jazeera headline is not much better than NYT - "headed towards famine" means we're not there yet.

This is SOOOOO good. Thank you for taking the time to post it. One thing I’d add is that all this perfidy is based on PNAC and the Powell Memo, both of which were formulated in the late 70’s after Nixon was impeached. The Right Wing—Cheney, Pearls, et al.— feared America would never elect another Rethuglican after what Nixon did to the party so they started this takeover. And it worked slowly and silently over 50 years to where we are now.
My only warning is that statement sounds like something Thom Hartmann would tell you... And as he admits - he's an NSA contractor. About what, we're not allowed to know... But based on the bullshit he pedals about the Vietnamese killing JFK...It appears that he has a very broad portfolio.
L. Fletcher Prouty - the inspiration for the "Mr. X" character, played by Donald Sutherland in Oliver Stone's JFK - has a useful concept... "The Secret Team". It assumes that BOTH major parties are heavily infiltrated, as is the Government, at all levels, and in all branches. Bill Clinton was a CIA asset (at a minimum) under the control of GHWBush41 - who was part of the Nixon gang, and who was also directly involved in the JFK Hit. https://covertactionmagazine.com/2022/01/03/there-is-absolutely-no-reason-in-the-world-to-believe-that-bill-clinton-is-a-cia-asset-except-for-all-the-evidence/
Obama's mother was CIA, and he interned at a CIA front company in Afghanistan, during Iran Contra. https://covertactionmagazine.com/2021/10/01/a-company-family-the-untold-history-of-obama-and-the-cia/
And surprise, surprise - both were pals with GHWBush41, and invitees to his funeral, and given secretive envelopes upon arrival. Instructions? New Contact information? Someone should ask them.
My point is that the CIA uses both parties, to advance all of their goals in a phased manner. There's no point in playing 'team sports', these days... Washington DC only has ONE team, in reality... And that's why the Censorship powers bill ("Tik Tok") can fly through Congress so easily.
Scoop Jackson was an early NeoCon. So is Joe Biden. Zoell Miller, $hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman - all ostensibly Democrats...
God, I haven’t listened to Thumb Hartman for over 20 years. He’s one of the dumbest guys on the planet. But just because he tees off on real news to make his Nit Wit News, doesn’t mean the real news is wrong. It just he has been told to spin it, for reasons we can guess.
And just this morning - more on the inner workings of the Hegemonic Narrative propagators.

I took a journalism class in high school, in Texas in the early 70s. I still remember the basic questions of journalism: Who, what, when, where, and how, with why answered if known.
The New York Times couldn't even pass a freshman high school journalism class. Though I imagine journalism is taught quite differently these days.
There must be a permanent ceasefire in Gaza in order to comply with the ICJ ruling. Not with Palestinians suffering under oppressive conditions, but as a place where all live with peace and equality. It is time for Pope Francis to do more than talk. He must go to Gaza and make a stand for peace and freedom.

Let us also support UNRWA. If our governments won’t act in accordance with humanity, then we will. https://www.unrwausa.org/donate Let us do it to honor Aaron Bushnell, or in memory of Hind Rajab.
Let us call for a No Fly-Zone over Gaza!
And while we’re at it! Let’s arrest the Biden Administration for genocide under 18 U.S. Code § 1091.
These are a few small things we can do. If we can do more, let us do more.
Ahh, still wrestling with the blind? Many moves the blind wrestler has up against the seeing fools.
Expect so many new ways to frame words and phrases from the chosen people, the chosen people's media, chosen people's press, chosen people's celebrities, chosen people's schools, the chosen people's Eichmann's, those in the professional managerial class.
Those media outlets you list are beholden to the chose people, so, famine is just another way to say a missed meal. Starvation is just another way to say restricted diet. Bombing schools and hospitals, those chosen people say, is just doing some landscaping.
Mowing the lawn? It's all just those old skinny chosen people in FLorida getting Botoxed and having skin cancers removed.
The Wailing Wall White House is a perfect place for a Zyclon Blinken. So, who controls the narrative? Who manufactures and engineers consent?
Yep, 'those' people.
Enjoy the buggering from all angles, into all aspects of your brains.

A political saying in Japan says, "The Geisha doesn't need to be told what to do".
I keep telling everyone........IF you are on any MSM go into comments and refute this.
Hey, it's only a "projection", which means its not happening right now, am I rite?
No biggie, right?
