During the session before an SRO audience, he charged that the Huffington Post, aka HuffPost, a news web site, “censored my 9/11 article!” Mr. Ventura was speaking at Baltimore's BookFest. He was joined on the program by Richard Sher, an ex-news reader for WJZ-TV in Baltimore, MD.

Now you see them, now you don't: Orthodox Israeli newspapers Photo-shop out female Cabinet ministers
By MAIL FOREIGN SERVICE
3rd April 2009
Two women serve in Israel's new Cabinet - but some Israelis would rather not see them.
Newspapers aimed at ultra-Orthodox Jewish readers tampered with the inaugural photograph of the Cabinet, erasing female ministers Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver.
Ultra-Orthodox newspapers consider it immodest to print images of women.

All the News that's Fit to Spit

2009-02-27T15:18:25Z

By David Glenn Cox http://theservantsofpilate.com
It was announced yesterday that the San Francisco Chronicle is in danger of shutting down. Founded in the days of the California gold rush, the Chronicle was once staffed by writers such as Mark Twain and Bret Harte. But those days are long gone; what with I-Pods and laptops, who reads newspapers anymore? I can't say that I know much about the Chronicle, being almost 3,000 miles away from it; I've never read it.
Maybe it was a great (…)

SUPPORTING freedom of expression

2009-02-14T11:52:01Z

What the hell did he do ??
Well, the man is being tried for selling the communist daily "L'Humanité-dimanche" in the street : his trial is to take place on February 18th.
Lounis merely sold the French daily at the Dejean Market, in the 18th 'arrondissement' in Paris... where he had been selling it for 20 years.
And yet, in 2007 -about 8 weeks before the French presidential election- he was questioned by the police for "selling goods in a public place without any authorization".

NYTimes's Dirty Little Secrets

2008-02-21T15:09:18Z

Our beloved NYTimes sat on the story of Bush's secret and illegal wiretapping operations which went into effect shortly after he was selected to the White House by the SCOTUS back in January of 2000. You know the dirty little secret they decided to reveal only after the 2004 election cycle.
BTW, have you caught the other dirty little secret that they have been sitting of for the last eight years about Sen. McCain the current GOP front runner for that parties nod for POTUS?
It would (…)

The Guardian vs. ZNet – a case study for Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman

2007-08-24T21:58:03Z

By Gabriele Zamparini
As everybody else I fell in love with the classic Manufacturing Consent, the propaganda model proposed by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky almost twenty years ago, as soon as I read it.
The following I believe is an interesting case I would like to submit to the attention of my readers, including Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman.
The Guardian
"There have also been around 70,000 Iraqi civilian deaths as a result of the military action by the US and its allies, (…)

The Baltimore Examiner Is Wrong About the Iraqi War

2007-07-17T13:42:58Z

“It is quite possible that we are now descending into an age in which two and two will make five when the Leader says so.” — George Orwell
Until April 5, 2007, Baltimore, Maryland was a one-daily-newspaper town. “The Sun” monopolized the print scene. Now, it has competition with the arrival of the feisty “Baltimore Examiner.” It's a tabloid and a freebee, too, relying on ads to support itself. So far, it has been doing a competent job on the local news coverage, including its sports and (…)

Who's Denis Robert ?

2007-06-18T23:33:53Z

Denis Robert Support Committee calling all journalists.
We're missing one thing: A massive, straight-up, protective support drive from the journalist community as a whole.
In 2006, there was a dozen of us telling ourselves: What is happening to Denis is inadmissible and frankly unbelievable! Back then, a war was being waged between Sarkozy (Minister of Home Affairs) and De Villepin (Prime Minister), and Denis's book on the Clearstream scandal had just been banned from sale, in a (…)

Annals of Mendacious Punditry: When the Shill Enables the Kill

2007-06-06T14:22:18Z

by Jason Miller
Jonah Goldberg is the living, breathing embodiment of virtually all that is pernicious in the malignant socioeconomic and political structures collectively known as the American Empire. Yet tragically, this scheming sycophant to the cynical, privileged criminals of the US plutocracy reaches countless millions through myriad corporate media conduits as he weaves his sophistic arguments supporting nearly every morally repulsive aspect of United States foreign policy.
