MEDIA SCUM

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—The glaring plot holes in the Mueller report’s assertions about Russia being the source of the 2016 WikiLeaks drops have already been ripped wide open by journalist Aaron Maté’s meticulous analysis of the report’s timeline in an article accurately titled “CrowdStrikeOut: Mueller’s Own Report Undercuts Its Core Russia-Meddling Claims“. The CNN smear piece, which claims to “add a new dimension to the Mueller report”, is entirely relying on this porous timeline for its reporting.

JIMMY DORE once again exposes the shady practices of The New York Times. In this case, the paper is caught assigning the coverage of anti-corporatist Bernie Sanders (however much we may trust him or not, the system does NOT want him) to an out and out Wall Street shill with no real journalistic qualifications at all, let alone fairness in reporting. The story was originally covered by Katie Helper on FAIR.org.

CAiTLIN JOHNSTONE—it turns out that endless war is an absolutely essential component of the globe-spanning alliance between oligarchs and government agencies which is sometimes referred to as the “deep state”. Exerting more and more control over world affairs is how the largest power structures on earth continue to expand their power, and this is impossible to do without using the carrot of US military/economic alliance and the stick of US military/economic punishment.

Lester Holt, who has been climbing the greasy pole of media shill for the billionaire class for a long time, is clearly upset because Tulsi Gabbard doesn’t seem enthusiastic about war with Iran.
