Degraded Capability The Media and the Kosovo Crisis Resource Type: Book Published: 2000 The media played a highly partisan and propagandistic role in Nato’s Kosovo war, uncritically reproducing official spin in a way incompatible with their proclaimed role as objective purveyors of information. A history of violence: Growing up in CAR Resource Type: Article Published: 2017 A child born from rape and a young gunshot victim grow up amid CAR's cycle of violence. How They Sold the Iraq War Resource Type: Article Published: 2018 The war on Iraq won't be remembered for how it was waged so much as for how it was sold: it was a propaganda war, a war of perception management. In Middle East Wars It Pays to be Skeptical Resource Type: Article Published: 2018 In the context of Western air strikes on alleged Syrian biological weapons sites on 14 April, 2018, the history of the bombing of the Abu Ghraib baby milk factory in 1991 underscores the need for permanent scepticism towards claims by U.S. and Western governments that they know exactly what is happening on the ground in Syria. Lapdog media learns nothing, beats war drums again Resource Type: Article Published: 2013 Have we forgotten Judith Miller already? Or Colin Powell at the U.N.? Before attacking Syria, let's know the truth. The Newsfakers Whose hands are behind those dramatic YouTube pictures? Resource Type: Article Published: 2012 YouTube and blogs have made it easier than ever to fabricate events. The media are happy to run unsubstantiated reports and footage. Other Voices: The Connexions Newsletter - October 15, 2016 Lurching to War Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical) Published: 2016 The risk of nuclear war is as great now as it was at the height of the Cold War. From the time the Warsaw Pact dissolved itself and the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States has single-mindedly pursued a hyper-aggressive strategy of surrounding Russia with hostile military forces and missiles aimed at the Russian heartland. Provoking Nuclear War by Media Resource Type: Article Published: 2016 The exoneration of a man accused of the worst of crimes, genocide, made no headlines. Neither the BBC nor CNN covered it. The Guardian allowed a brief commentary. Such a rare official admission was buried or suppressed, understandably. It would explain too much about how the rulers of the world rule. Selective Outrage - Iran And Libya Resource Type: Article Published: 2012 Sick Sophistry: BBC News On Afghan Hospital "Mistakenly" Bombed by United States Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 One of the defining features of the corporate media is that Western crimes are ignored or downplayed. The US bombing of a Médecins Sans Frontières hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, on the night of October 3, 2015, is an archetypal example. 1953 - 2002 - 2016: Syria and the Reemergence of McCarthyism Resource Type: Article Published: 2016 A history of McCarthyism, or red-baiting, in US politics to justify or bolster foreign war efforts, and how the recent Syrian involvement has brought about a revival of McCarthyist discourse and tactics in the political and social realms. UN 'Travesty': Resolutions Of Mass Destruction - Part 1 Resource Type: Article Published: 2012 Far from bringing an end to the violence, UN Resolution 1973 unleashed overwhelming Western force in pursuit of regime change, in a war that was fought to the bitter end. To ensure the right outcome, Western and other powers supplied special forces and weapons, simply ignoring the resolution's call for 'strict implementation of the arms embargo' and 'excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory'. In short, the resolution resulted in a massive escalation in violence. US Isn't Leaving Syria -- but Media Lost It When Possibility Was Raised Resource Type: Article Published: 2018 The US military exists to fight wars. It is the most heavily armed, most violent organization in the world. Saying that it should continue to occupy Syria, and most of the mainstream media do, is a way of saying that the war in that country should continue. In fact, it’s a call for escalation of that war. US Lies and Excuses for Bombing Hospital Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Here is the US changing its story for the FOURTH time of why it launched an air strike on the Doctors without Borders hospital in the Afghan town of Kunduz at the weekend, massacring at least 22 patients and hospital staff. War by media and the triumph of propaganda Resource Type: Article Published: 2014 The world is facing the prospect of major war, perhaps nuclear war -- with the United States clearly determined to isolate and provoke Russia and eventually China. This truth is being turned upside down and inside out by journalists, including those who promoted the lies that led to the bloodbath in Iraq in 2003. The times we live in are so dangerous and so distorted in public perception that propaganda is no longer, as Edward Bernays called it, an "invisible government". It is the government. It rules directly without fear of contradiction and its principal aim is the conquest of us: our sense of the world, our ability to separate truth from lies. Why are young journalists not taught to understand media agendas and to challenge the high claims and low purpose of fake objectivity? And why are they not taught that the essence of so much of what's called the mainstream media is not information, but power? Where War Reporting Goes Wrong A Diary of Four Wars Resource Type: Article Published: 2013 The four recent conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria have been propaganda wars in which newspaper, television and radio journalists played a central role. In all wars there is a difference between reported news and what really happened, but during these four campaigns the outside world has been left with misconceptions even about the identity of the victors and the defeated. Why the Western Media Pushes for War on Russia Operation Get Putin Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Author discusses the reasons why the western 'mainstream' media have sharply increased their campaign against Russia and President Putin. A Writer at War A Sovet Journalist with the Red Army, 1941 - 1945 Resource Type: Book Published: 2006 War reporting by Vasily Grossman, a correspondent for the Red Army, the Soviet Army's newspaper.
