Exploiting A Massacre To Cover Up A Genocide

December 15, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. Educate! Anti-Semitism, Australia, Israel, Media, Terror Attack

The 15 innocent victims killed in Sunday’s terrorist attack on a Hanukkah party at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia are being exploited by extreme Zionists in a bid to distract from Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Their memories are being used by the likes of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli as well as Australian officials, sections of the media and members of the public. Instead of putting the blame on the only known perpetrators police have identified so far — the father and son shooters Sajid and Naveed Akram — Zionist extremists are implicating innocent citizens who have dared protest Israeli atrocities.

Demo Outside BBC As Hunger Strikers’ Lives Hang In The Balance

December 14, 2025 Barold, The Canary. Resist! BBC, Hunger Strikes, Media, Palestine Action, Solidarity, Strikes

The lives of eight political prisoners in the UK are on a knife-edge and no one is talking about it. What the actual fuck is going on. Qesser Zuhrah, Amu Gib, Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, Teuta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Lewie Chiaramello, Muhammed Umer Khalid. Eight human beings, held without trial for over a year, are on hunger strike across the UK, some of them for 39 days now. This week there have been protests across the country demanding that the government finally listen to their demands. On Wednesday 10th December I was outside the BBC at the Leeds demo.

What A Century-Old Press Service Teaches Us About Worker Power

December 12, 2025 Victoria Grieve, Power At Work. Educate! History, Journalism, Labor Movement, Media, Women, Worker Rights and Jobs

This won’t come as a surprise to union activists, but the mainstream press doesn’t always fairly represent the labor movement. That was true in 1919, the year the Federated Press (FP) was founded, and it remains true today. The FP was created to counteract the anti-labor bias in the mainstream press during the post-World War I strike wave. At the first convention of the Farmer-Labor Party, a coalition of labor activists, editors, and socialists hatched the idea for a cooperative, labor-oriented press service that would provide national and international news to subscribing labor newspapers. Imagine the Associated Press, but written by and for labor.

Journalist Files Defense In Anti-Semitism Test Case

December 11, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. Resist! Anti-Semitism, Australia, Mary Kostakidis, Media, Press Freedom, Zionism

Embattled Australian journalist Mary Kostakidis has filed her formal defense against the charge by the Zionist Federation of Australia that she is an anti-semite, telling a federal judge the allegation of racial vilification is really intended to smear legitimate criticism of Israel and stifle free speech. In her 29-page filing, Kostakidis argues that her reporting on Israel’s actions in Gaza did not target Jewish people but the Israeli government. Her posts on X had nothing to do with the “race or national or ethnic origin of Jewish Australians and/or Israeli Australians,” she says.

University Of Alabama Shuts Down Two Student Magazines

December 6, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Educate! Censorship, Department of Justice, Higher Education, Media, Press Freedom

Administrators at the University of Alabama shut down two student-led publications and claimed that a memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi required them to censor journalism. On July 29, Bondi issued “non-binding suggestions” for “federal funding recipients to comply with antidiscrimination law.” The intent was to discourage diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, and Bondi specifically stated that “unlawful proxies” could jeopardize funding. Bondi also insisted that universities may not direct funds and other resources to organizations “primarily because of their racial or ethnic composition rather than other legitimate factors.”

New York Times Sues Over Pentagon Policy

December 5, 2025 Jessica Corbett, Common Dreams. Resist! Journalism, Media, New York Times (NYT), Pentagon, Press Freedom

Press freedom advocates on Thursday welcomed the New York Times’ lawsuit over the US Department of Defense’s “flatly unconstitutional” press policy, filed on the heels of the first briefing for what critics call the “Pentagon Propaganda Corps.” The newspaper and Times reporter Julian E. Barnes, one of several journalists who refused to sign the policy earlier this year, are suing the DOD—which President Donald Trump has dubbed the Department of War—as well as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson, Sean Parnell, in the US District Court in Washington, D.C.

On Trans Care, WaPo Rejects Experts And Invents ‘More Neutral’ Center

December 2, 2025 Julie Hollar, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! health, Media, Transgender Rights, Trump Administration, Washington Post

President Donald Trump, having campaigned heavily on anti-trans fear mongering, issued an executive order within days of taking office that banned federal support for gender-affirming care. That same order commanded the secretary of Health and Human Services to produce a report on “best practices” for the care of trans youth. When the report was released in May, exactly zero people were surprised that its conclusions echoed the executive order’s anti-trans stance—condemning gender-affirming care and instead recommending “exploratory” therapy—and were grounded in ideology, not science or medical expertise.

The Seven Richest Billionaires Are All Media Barons

November 26, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. Educate! Billionaires, Censorship, Israel, Media, Propaganda, Social Media, Zionism

Trump loyalist and CIA contractor Larry Ellison’s purchase of CNN appears imminent, and marks the latest venture into media for the world’s second-richest individual. But Ellison is not alone. Indeed, the world’s seven richest individuals are all now powerful media barons, controlling what the world sees, reads, and hears, marking a new chapter in oligarchical control over society and striking another blow at a free, independent press and diversity of opinion. Paramount Skydance– an Ellison-owned company– is in pole position to purchase Warner Brothers Discovery, a conglomerate that controls gigantic film and television studios, streaming services like HBO Max and Discovery+, franchises like DC Comics, and TV networks such as HBO, TNT, Discovery Channel, TLC, Food Network, and CNN.

The Truth About The ‘Gen Z’ March In Mexico

November 25, 2025 Kurt Hackbarth, Jacobin Magazine. Educate! Astroturf, Billionaires, Media, Mexico

A youth march with the notable absence of youth. A march against violence that ended with deliberately provoked violence. A nonpartisan march with one of its key proponents in the pay of the nation’s conservative party. A march inspired by imagery from the hit left-wing comic One Piece descending into a maelstrom of far-right hate. The contradictions surrounding Mexico’s so-called “Generation Z” march on November 15 — also known as the “15N protests and riots” — are abundant. Moreover, they provide an object lesson in the “franchise model” of international demonstration symbolism in which a domestic event is appropriated to suit the agenda of the franchisees.

Breaking Out Of Media Group-Think

November 22, 2025 Jonathan Cook, Consortium News. Educate! Censorship, Israel, Journalism, Journalists, Media, Palestine

The past two years have seen a catastrophic failure by Western journalists to report properly what amounts to an undoubted genocide in Gaza. This has been a low point even by the dismal standards set by our profession, and further reason why audiences continue to distrust us in ever greater numbers. There is a comforting argument — comforting especially for those journalists who have failed so scandalously during this period — that seeks to explain, and excuse, this failure. Israel’s exclusion of Western reporters, so the claim goes, has made it impossible to determine exactly what is occurring on the ground in Gaza.

Corporate Media Parrot Dubious Claims Used To Justify War On Venezuela

November 20, 2025 Ricardo Vaz, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! Corporate Media, Media, the Caribbean, US Imperialism, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

Since August, the US has been amassing military assets in the Caribbean. Warships, bombers and thousands of troops have been joined by the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, in the largest regional deployment in decades. Extrajudicial strikes against small vessels, which UN experts have decried as violations of international law, have killed at least 80 civilians (CNN, 11/14/25). Many foreign policy analysts believe that regime change in Venezuela is the ultimate goal (Al Jazeera, 10/24/25; Left Chapter, 10/21/25), but the Trump administration instead claims it is fighting “narcoterrorism,” accusing Caracas of flooding the US with drugs via the Cartel of the Suns and Tren de Aragua, both designated as foreign terrorist organizations.

Big Win For News Guild In Three-Year Strike Against Post-Gazette

November 15, 2025 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. Resist! Media, Pittsburgh, Strikes, Unions, Worker Rights

After more than three years on strike against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and five years of overall corporate violation of labor law, The News Guild of Pittsburgh, TNG-CWA Local 38061, completely won its case against the Block brothers, the paper’s owners. Writing on Nov. 10 for a unanimous panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, Judge Cindy Chung—the former U.S. Attorney for Western Pennsylvania, headquartered in Pittsburgh—ordered the Blocks to bargain and reach a contract with the Guild, just as the National Labor Relations Board demanded in seeking an injunction, a mandatory court order, against the duo.

The Time Is Here To Act On Climate Adaptation

November 10, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, COP30, Media, Resilience

The United Nations Conference of Parties (COP) is holding its annual meeting in Brazil this year for the 30th time. Despite the creation of the Paris Climate Agreement nearly ten years ago, carbon emissions continue to rise, and the world is now experiencing the impacts of the 1.5° Celsius rise in temperature we sought to avoid. The time has come to shift our thinking and actions to what we can do locally to prepare for and protect our communities from the dangers of the climate crisis. Clearing the FOG speaks with Ed Jarvis, the leader of the Climate Majority Project's SAFER (Strategic Adaptation for Emergency Resilience) campaign. Jarvis discusses the campaign's efforts to bring greater awareness to the need for adaptation and shares what people are doing with a focus on climate justice.

UK Newspapers Publish More Ads For Polluting Products Than Climate Coverage

November 10, 2025 Ellen Ormesher, DeSmog. Educate! climate crisis, COP30, Environment, Media, United Kingdom (UK)

British national newspapers devoted more than triple the space to advertising polluting industries such as oil, airlines, and sports utility vehicles than they did to covering last year’s United Nations climate talks, according to a new study. Total high-carbon advertising — including for fossil fuel companies, cruises, and banks financing oil and gas – amounted to 5,086 column inches on two key dates during 2024’s COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, relative to 1,745 column inches for the negotiations themselves. With the next round of talks, known as COP30, getting underway in Belém, Brazil, newspapers will likely repeat the pattern, warned Andrew Simms, co-director of the New Weather Institute think tank, which conducted the research.

Global South Cooperation Needed To Counter Hegemonic Disinformation

November 2, 2025 Tim Anderson, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Collaboration, Global Hegemony, Global South, Independent media, Media

Systematic disinformation is employed by the hegemonic powers to destabilise, divide, and weaken independent peoples and nations. It serves to disempower entire populations, justify suffocating sieges, proxy wars, invasions, and occupations, and to disqualify resistance. The problem: hegemonic propaganda is broad, deep, and well integrated. The Anglo-American enemy has lost its advantages in technology, industry and commerce, but maintains them in finance and propaganda. The dollar/SWIFT dictatorship still rules, and media, communicational, and ideological Anglo-American hegemony remains firmly in place, through well-developed networks.
