After Israel fired shells at emaciated civilians queuing for food, and ran handcuffed captives over with tanks, and executed five-year-olds with gun shots to the head, Joe Biden realised not even lying machine Antony Blinken was a good enough bullshitter to pretend those aid trucks were Hamas and the children were armed militants who posed an immediate threat to The World’s Most Moral Army ™.

US president Joe Biden is no longer keen on genocide

He might even back a ceasefire now there is nothing left to bomb

#CRTisHistory: Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne faced more serious accusations of academic misconduct involving data manipulation. A formal investigation was announced in November of 2022, and he was forced to resign in July of 2023. So, how many articles did the Times write about the topic prior to his resignation? Zero. And zero is probably the right number, because this is not national news until an actual resignation. But that is not the standard being applied to Gay, because the campaign is not about academic misconduct…

He has done this with discussions of race (labeling it Critical Race Theory) and gender (accusing those allowing discussion of gender in schools to be “groomers”) in classrooms. He saw the opportunity to leverage anti-semitic student protests as part of his broader attack on higher education.

The campaign that removed the President of Harvard was about DEI, not plagiarism

Is there a difference between covering the culture wars and participating in them?

#FakeNews (red) versus #EmbeddedNews (blue): American #journalists had not reported from within #Gaza – except a few embedded with Israeli troops – because Israel, as the #occupying power in control of the Gaza Strip’s borders, has been denying access to foreign journalists and putting pressure on Egypt to do so as well.

Watching the watchdogs: US media reporting from Gaza

A recent CNN report from a field hospital in Gaza reveals the power and deficiencies of US TV coverage.

Patrick Lawrence, for SheerPost- I do not know with certainty what went on last year in the matter of children removed from battle zones—this for the simple reason it is impossible to know the facts of the case on the basis of what Western media report. Gall, icing on this cake, does not quote a single Russian official and appears to have interviewed none. But, given how open Russian officials have been about this program, I do not see that we can summarily dismiss their many-times-repeated explanation when they say the intent was to keep children—a lot of them living in orphanages or on the street—out of harm’s way. This is not, after all, the Israel Defense Forces.

#HollywoodPropoganda: Western media are constantly babbling about “Iran-backed” forces in Yemen, Syria and Iraq, yet Israeli bombings are never described as “US-backed”, even though they indisputably are, and even though the evidence for this is far stronger than any claims about Iranian backing.

Biden Intends To Keep Participating In The Incineration Of Gaza

Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): Biden administration officials are telling the press that they have no plans to place any conditions on military aid to Israel. CNN reports: The Biden administration currently has no plans to place conditions on the military aid it is providing to Israel, officials told CNN, despite growing calls by Democratic lawmakers and human rights organizations for the US to stop providing weapons unless Israel does more to protect civilians in Gaza.

#ProjectCensored: We’ve been seeing this bizarre divorcing of attacker and attack all the time in Gaza since October 7, with news outlets sometimes going entire articles speaking only of “blasts” and “#bombings” without ever actually mentioning the state who is inflicting them…
While mentions of Israel are scant in CNN’s reporting, mentions of the United States are missing altogether. At no time in the 14-minute segment does Ward or anyone else make any mention of the fact that this relentless massacre can only happen because it is being backed by the US, and that the Biden administration… and that the Biden administration could end it at any time by withdrawing that backing.

http://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/oct/31 After being seized by the mob, newspapers reported that Mr. Esters slipped free and began to run away—but made it only 100 yards before the white mob riddled his body with bullets. The mob then placed a noose around his neck, dragged his lifeless body to the courthouse, and swung it from the top steps.
