I like #MediaLens but they're pretty much a one trick pony.
Once you've read a few of their articles, you've pretty much read them all. A new article is just the names have been changed.

Here's an article from Medialens on fighting for your country.
Mark Urban finds it "disturbing" that 40% of Zoomers would not fight for the UK under any circumstances.
Media Lens, and I, think it more marvelous, a glimmer of hope.
The idea that I should risk my life to fight in a war to protect the monarch's right to reign Britain, the barely democratic first past the post system, and the increasing wealth of western oligarchs, and never ending austerity is sickening.
Fight to protect the monopolists rentierism, and Starmer's welfare cuts and attacks on the needy?
Nope.
Fight to protect this bipartisan tory oil regime that rules the country and intends to burn fuel till the walls come down?
Nope.
This country is already under occupation, by the bankers, and the capitalists, and the petrofascists that will destroy us all for more dollars in their pockets.
Every war they have executed in my lifetime was based on a lie.
They can all fuck off if they think I'd fight for any of them. Wankers.
The only worrying thing is 60% of the zoomers are apparently still falling for it.
#MediaLens | ‘A Dagger To The Heart’: BBC Credibility Nosedives Even Further
‘But I’d stress that a media environment where the victims of genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid are subjected constantly to the most intense scrutiny, while their tormentors and those who support them are all too often allowed a free pass is a distorted and frankly racist one.’

#MediaLens | Orange Peace
"It is the influence of this war machine that causes virtually every media organisation to support virtually every US-UK war of aggression in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. It seeks out or stokes lucrative bloodbaths in Ukraine and Gaza. It smears and denounces anyone calling for non-violent alternatives as ‘useful idiots’, de facto ‘traitors’, siding with Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, Qaddafi, Assad and Putin."
"Remarkably, given that they stand at opposite ends of the political spectrum, there are parallels between this media treatment of #Corbyn and that afforded to US president Donald #Trump ... This is not a Trumpian echo of Gandhi’s principled, satyagraha ethic of non-violence. Rather, if ‘war is the continuation of politics by other means’, Trump’s anti-war stance is the continuation of #capitalism by other means."

#MediaLens | #Gaza – ‘A Graveyard For Children’
"The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in #Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in Palestine. What’s more, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and much of Europe, are wholly complicit in the horrific assault."
