    ‘Are we the baddies?’ Western support for genocide in Gaza means the answer is yes

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on December 27, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    The desperate smear campaign to defend Israel’s crimes highlights the toxic brew of lies that’s been underpinning the liberal democratic order for decades.

    Israel is caught lying time and again. And yet we never learn

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on October 24, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    Disinformation over the blast at Gaza’s al-Ahli hospital worked as planned, taking the focus off the victims and lifting pressure on Israel to stop its rampage.

  •  | More than 5300 feared dead in Libya flooding auburnpubcom | MR Online

    Why the media aren’t telling the whole story of Libya’s floods

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on September 15, 2023 by 'Middle East Eye' (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    There are reasons for Libya’s ‘chaotic’, ‘dysfunctional’ response to the disaster. And to identify them, we need to look closer to home.

    Daniel Ellsberg is lauded in death by the same media that lets Assange rot in jail

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on June 20, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    The stark difference in treatment of the two truth-tellers is a measure of how state criminality is now completely unchecked.

  •  | Benjamin Netanyahu | MR Online

    Israel’s crisis is about who gets to play tyrant: the generals or religious thugs

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on March 29, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    In pushing through his ‘judicial overhaul’, Netanyahu wasn’t destroying ‘Israeli democracy’. He was richly exploiting the lack of it.

  •  | Keir Starmer as Labour Party leader Photo middleeastmonitorcom | MR Online

    Starmer is paving the way for the triumph of dark politics

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on February 27, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    By waging an all-out war on the left and its ideas, the Labour leader is strangling hope of change in a time of crisis–and risks driving voters towards right-wing authoritarians

  •  | Julian Assange Photo apublicaorg | MR Online

    Why the western media is afraid of Julian Assange

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on January 30, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    The shared desire of the security services and the corporate media is to disappear Assange in the hope that his revolutionary model of journalism is abandoned or forgotten for good.

  •  | Seymour Hersh | MR Online

    Useful idiots who undermine dissent on Syria

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on July 3, 2017 by Jonathan Cook (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    There has been much disingenuous criticism of those, like me, who question why the western corporate media have studiously ignored the latest investigation by renowned journalist Seymour Hersh on Syria. Hersh had to publish his piece in a German newspaper, Welt am Sonntag, after the entire US and UK media rejected his article. There has still been no mention of his investigation more than a week later.

    Media’s propaganda war on Syria in full flow

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on June 30, 2017 by Jonathan Cook (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    If you wish to understand the degree to which a supposedly free western media are constructing a world of half-truths and deceptions to manipulate their audiences, keeping us uninformed and docile, then there could hardly be a better case study than their treatment of Pulitzer prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.
