Washington Post’s ‘Fake News’ Guilt

NOVANEWS Exclusive: The “fake news” theme has captivated The Washington Post and the mainstream U.S. media so much that it is stooping to McCarthyistic smears against news outlets that don’t toe the State Department’s propaganda line, says Robert Parry. By Robert Parry The mainstream U.S. media’s hysteria over “fake news” has reached its logical (or illogical) zenith, a McCarthyistic black-listing of honest journalism that simply shows professional skepticism toward Officialdom, including what’s said by U.S. government officials and what’s written in The Washington Post and New York Times. Apparently, to show skepticism now opens you to accusations of disseminating “Russian propaganda” or being a “useful idiot” or some similar ugly smear reminiscent of the old Cold War. Now that we ...

The Entire Mainstream Warmongering Media is Fake

NOVANEWS By Jay Dyer 21st Century Wire If the Trump phenomena showed anything, it showed the consensus reality the mainstream media attempted to create concerning Hillary’s certain victory, as well as the consensus reality erected for decades, is not omnipotent. In fact, the earliest days of mass print media were erected on a famous fraud known as the “Great Moon Hoax” of 1835 – something researcher Chris Kendall has long called attention to – wherein the “educated,” “elite” widely accepted the mainstream publications’ claim bat people inhabited the lunar surface. In our day, a similar hoax still reigns, as mainstream media is literally as credible as Weekly World News’ Bat Boy story. Orson Wells as Citizen Kane (1941) Anyone who has seen Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane knows the...

The Lie of the 21st Century: How Mainstream Media “Fake News” Led to the U.S. Invasion of Iraq

NOVANEWS By Timothy Alexander Guzman Silent Crow News The mainstream media (MSM) has declared war on alternative media websites labeling them “Fake News” ever since Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump. The New York Times editorial board expressed their frustration in an article calling for the censorship of alternative and social media‘Facebook and the Digital Virus Called Fake News’ which claimed both social media platforms (Facebook and Google) has not been aggressive enough in blocking fake news sites: Most of the fake news stories are produced by scammers looking to make a quick buck. The vast majority of them take far-right positions. But a big part of the responsibility for this scourge rests with internet companies like Facebook and Google, which have made...

NYT Advocates Internet Censorship

NOVANEWS By Robert Parry | Consortium News In its lead editorial on Sunday, The New York Times decried what it deemed “The Digital Virus Called Fake News” and called for Internet censorship to counter this alleged problem, taking particular aim at Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for letting “liars and con artists hijack his platform.” As this mainstream campaign against “fake news” quickly has gained momentum in the past week, two false items get cited repeatedly, a claim that Pope Francis endorsed Donald Trump and an assertion that Trump was prevailing in the popular vote over Hillary Clinton. I could add another election-related falsehood, a hoax spread by Trump supporters that liberal documentarian Michael Moore was endorsing Trump when he actually was backing Clinton. But I also k...

Who is Behind “Fake News”? Mainstream Media Use Fake Videos and Images

NOVANEWS By Prof Michel Chossudovsky The mainstream corporate media is desperate. They want to suppress independent and alternative online media, which it categorizes as “fake news”. Readers on social media are warned not to go onto certain sites. The intent of this initiative is to smear honest reporting and Truth in Media. Our analysis confirms that the mainstream media are routinely involved in distorting the facts and turning realities upside down. They are the unspoken architects of “Fake News”. One area of routine distortion is the use of fake videos and images by the mainstream media. Four Notorious Cases of Media Distortion These are four examples and there are many more. The manipulation of videos and images is routine. In some cases, they revealed by readers...

Mainstream Media, Kellyanne Conway and Soros

NOVANEWS By Renee Parsons | CounterPunch For most long time exiles from the Democratic Party, the post election liberal meltdown as a result of HRC’s historic, unexpected loss continues to gratify as photos of White House staff in tears do little to stir sympathy. But unexpected? Only in the eyes of Democratic party stalwarts who wouldn’t know what to say to a Trump supporter, if they met one. After all, how could she lose with the unwavering support of every institution in American life that mattered including every media conglomerate at the DNC’s fingertips – but even that boomeranged on the impending coronation. Having digested Wikileaks emails re the MSM and partisan collusion, it was of no small interest then to view the Anderson Cooper and the Jake Tapper interviews on CNN’s S...

Obituary – John Pilger – 1939-2023

Born in 1939, the veteran journalist John Pilger died on 30 December 2023 aged 84. He was one of the most courageous, fearless and decent journalists, devoting his life in the service of speaking the truth and bringing into daylight what the coterie of hired servants of imperialism in the press and TV studios tried to cover up. He made over five dozen documentaries and wrote a dozen books, not to speak of several hundred newspaper articles, relentlessly exposing the crimes committed by imperialism with the full complicity of bourgeois politicians and the media. He exposed the horrible atrocities committed by the Indonesian armed forces against the people of East Timor. He also dealt with the dreadful treatment inflicted on the indigenous population of Australia, as wel...

The War… For Your Mind! “Vindication of the Alternative Journalist”

By Brett Redmayne-Titley Global Research, d=I0_1705882755064&parent=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.globalresearch.ca&pfname=&rpctoken=2353606475 Perhaps you have had an epiphany that WE, the sane, the rational, the intelligent and the reasonable, now endure within a populist stupidity that is propagated by a worldwide theatre of journalistic lies, endemic media propaganda, agendized disinformation and government-mandated ignorance? Worse. We, whose minds – and conscience – still demand an informed and developed opinion based on established facts, are surrounded by a growing majority that embraces, instead, this demand for willful ignorance. We are told that their irrational mind is … better. Vindication of the Alternative Journalist A...
