Media Lens: Unfree Elections – The Corporate Media, UK General Election And Predictable Outcomes
Imagine this thought experiment. Consider how a general election might turn out if the media spectrum ran the whole gamut from the right – the BBC, Guardian and Independent, for example – to the hard right (the Mail, Sun, Express and so on).

Take our ‘treatment’ or we’ll stop your benefits, Tories threaten mentally ill By Louise McCudden

Conservative Britain: Repackaging the American Dream By Sean Keach
Much of America’s aggression towards communism in the 20th Century was mobilised through a propaganda campaign that dangled white picket fences and warm blueberry pies over the heads of a blue-collar citizenship. Even today, the American dream idealism can be seen propagating the ever raw political divisions of the United States. Fast-forward to modern day… 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. This led to a deluge of media headlines and stories echoing UKIP leader Nigel Farage’s gleeful claim of a ‘game changer’ in domestic politics. Continue reading

A Roster of Bigotry: UKIP, the Tories and the Far Right By Tim Holmes
When the racism and bigotry fuelling the EDL-backed UK Independence Party were finally revealed to public view, the results were never going to be pretty.

Did the UK just leave the EU? Bilderberg decided six months ago that she’s in forever By Richard Cottrell
Cameron’s mission to the EU summit was simply to stand as the odd man out before the thunderclap that creates seamless European economic union, which he will then be powerless, along with the ruling party, to prevent. Continue reading

Disposable and Expendable By William Bowles
13 May 2011 21:00:25 — Strategic Culture Foundation Disposable: Osama As more ‘facts’ emerge about the assassination of Osama bin Laden, one thing is clear: that there has been active collaboration between the Empire and the media in suppressing the true nature of the events surrounding bin Laden’s death[1].

Coalition of the unwilling? I don’t think so By William Bowles
There’s a fascinating pas de deux going on here between the media and the political class that centres on not talking about about the crisis of capital. Instead, the Independent along with the rest of corporate/state media, focuses all of a sudden on ‘peoples’ rights’ what Clegg is calling the “power revolution”. Continue reading

Parliamentary ‘democracy’ – a triumph of Victorian engineering? By William Bowles
Enter Parliamentary ‘democracy’ and the route chosen by organized labour as the one true road to socialism.

MEDIA LENS ALERT: THE ART OF LOOKING PRIME MINISTERIAL – THE 2010 UK GENERAL ELECTION

Risen from the grave By William Bowles
As predicted, the Tories have dumped the wimp and chosen Dracula, whose attitudes and policies when in power rivalled the position of the British National Party. Press coverage of Howard’s ascendency has been a wall-to-wall whitewash of this reactionary and racist individual, with acres of coverage of how Michael Howard is now a ‘reformed’ right-wing… Continue reading

Will he, wont he? Go, that is By William Bowles
The Ides of March have come a little earlier than usual. The notorious and racist right-wing Tory cabal, otherwise known as the 1922 Committee, fed up with Ian Duncan Smith’s wimpy ‘liberal’ programme have finally managed to whip up enough hysteria to challenge IDS for the leadership of the Tory Party. So barring a miracle,… Continue reading
