Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): The mass media are printing some amazingly depraved headlines about a new UN-backed report on starvation in Gaza from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, who says half the enclave’s population is now at the highest-possible threat level for starvation.
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.
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?
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.
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.

Mass murder by Israel should be the headline

The Al Jazeera headline is not much better than NYT - "headed towards famine" means we're not there yet.
I've read that there have been many documented deaths from starvation and seen photos of emaciated kids on death's door.

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?
