Media Lens: ‘A Political Ploy’? The Guardian Editors Swallow US Claims On Syrian WMD By David Edwards
‘It’s not just that we can’t prove a sarin attack; it’s that we’re not seeing what we would expect to see from a sarin attack. In a world where even the secret execution of Saddam Hussein was taped by someone, it doesn’t make sense that we don’t see videos, that we don’t see photos, showing… Continue reading

Media Lens: ‘Limited But Persuasive’ Evidence – Syria, Sarin, Libya, Lies By David Edwards
Unsurprisingly, the same political executives who had fabricated the case for war on Iraq sought to fabricate reasons for ignoring peer-reviewed science exposing the costs of their great crime. More surprising, one might think, is the long-standing media enthusiasm for these fabrications. Continue reading

Pre-emptive Policing By Craig Murray
I am deeply concerned about pre-emptive policing, or arresting people who might be going to do something wrong. I frankly don’t believe the BBC’s claim that intelligence indicated that anti-G8 protestors in Soho had weapons, or at any rate I do not believe it was honest intelligence. Continue reading

Rewriting History – Iraq and the BBC Glove Puppets By Matt Carr
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a shallow and essentially reverential piece of telehistory. Within ten minutes I was ready to scream with frustration at the tv set, which is really a very futile activity. Continue reading

How a London Court Repudiated Zionist Abuse of the Anti-Semitism Charge By Mike Marqusee
Taunting and tainting opponents with the charge of anti-semitism is a long-standing Zionist ploy, familiar to everyone involved in the Israel-Palestine issue. As their support weakens in the face of evidence-based argument, Israel’s advocates have stepped up their use of the accusation as a means to close down debate, particularly on proposals for boycott, divestment… Continue reading

Suppressed By The BBC By Craig Murray
I was invited then disinvited to discuss Bradley Manning on BBC Breakfast TV this morning. I was delighted and really surprised that the BBC were prepared to give such prime media exposure to the case against the persecution of Manning. I should have realised it would not be allowed to happen. Continue reading

Media Lens: ‘The Planet Can’t Keep Doing Us A Favour’ By David Cromwell
The false ‘balance’ in climate journalism is heavily skewed by the supposed need to share time between climate science and climate science denial. This is irrational ‘journalism’ by media professionals who have been seduced by a stubborn minority of people who ‘refuse to accept that climate change is happening despite the overwhelming scientific evidence’ Continue reading

Senior BBC official insists that all of Jerusalem is an “Israeli” city By Amena Saleem
The BBC has provided evidence this week that it prefers to use the territorial claims of the Israeli government to the whole of Jerusalem as a framework for its reporting, rather than acknowledging international law. Continue reading

Media Lens: ‘You Say What You Like, Because They Like What You Say’ By David Cromwell
The local elections in England earlier this month saw the right-wing UK Independence Party win over 140 council seats, gaining around 25 per cent of the vote where it stood.

Apologists for Israel take top posts at BBC By Amena Saleem
The American poet T.S. Eliot wrote that “April is the cruelest month.” The phrase springs to mind in April 2013, the month that a new director-general took up his post at the BBC and, within two weeks, had installed a line-up of hardline Zionists at the top of the world’s largest publicly-funded news organization.
