We live in a war-like society; one that supports, and is in league with, the world's number one terrorist threat: the United States of America. Corporate media propaganda plays a key role in keeping things that way.

Excerpt:

When it came to Syria several years later, media disinformation was once again pivotal in unleashing Western firepower. As we have described in numerous media alerts, the corporate media declared with instant unanimity and certainty that Syria's President Bashar Assad was responsible for a chemical weapons attack on the Damascus suburb of Douma on 7 April, 2018. One week later, the US, UK and France attacked Syria in response to the unproven allegations. Since then, there has been a mounting deluge of evidence that the UN's Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has perpetrated a massive cover-up to preserve the Western narrative that Assad gassed civilians in Douma.

We have observed a similar shameful silence in the UK, including BBC News; even after initial interest in the 'important story' had been expressed by Lyse Doucet, the BBC's chief international correspondent.

But Western violence against other nations, and the 'justifications' trotted out to defend 'our' crimes, or simply ignoring them, has become normalised in 'mainstream' journalism.
