  1. "What the #media is refusing to do, on an institutional level, is disclose the glaring conflicts of interests these groups—backed by billionaires, health insurance giants, pro-Israel lobbying firms, and massive corporations —would have in attacking candidates who undermine their sponsors’ bottom lines and ideological agendas."

  2. "[U]nlike the Uncommitted Movement of 2024—which sought to use their leverage as voters to pressure the Biden, and ultimately Harris, campaign into adopting the both morally and politically correct position of ending support for genocide—the emerging Centrist Uncommitted movement is animated, in large part, by their support for genocide and lockstep support for #Israel." - #AdamJohnson

  3. "Johnson argues that the #liberalMedia took upon itself the task of dulling the outrage of ordinary news consumers and making #Israel’s slaughter seem understandable or unavoidable and thus not too objectionable [...]

    "The focus on the 'liberal' #media is essential. Genocide support from right-wing media is a given; liberal buy-in is essential for genocide to become normalized."

  4. "Has #WesternMedia helped normalise #Israel’s violence against #Palestinians? And how has US corporate and legacy #media coverage of the #genocideInGaza over the last two and a half years shaped public attitudes and political decisions? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks to journalist #AdamJohnson, author of the new book #HowToSellAGenocide."

  5. 'Rather than being toxic to the #Democrats’ brand, it’s clear Party Leadership’s issue with this slate of explicitly anti-zionist (or at least Israel-critical) candidates is ideological. Jeffries was the largest recipient of pro-Israel money out of 435 voting members in the House last election cycle [...] and Schumer has explicitly said his “job” is to “keep the left pro-Israel.” '

  6. "We are permitted to debate the timing and process of attacking #Iran, but never its legitimacy, morality, or legality. It is simply taken for granted by leaders of both parties, and of course the vast bulk of #USmedia, that it is the US’s divine right to bomb and sanction any country at any time for any alleged crimes we, unilaterally, determined it committed." - #AdamJohnson

  7. RE: mastodon.social/@HakeemG/11667

    Still amazing to see the significance KHive trolls on SM invest in Harris's worthless, meretricious pronouncements on #Gaza during the #2024election.

    This #AdamJohnson piece is a great aide-mémoire for appreciating the hollowness and cynicism of Kamala's posturing on #Palestine while serving as the loyal and undissenting (*to the end*) no. 2 in the Genocide Joe Administration:

  8. #SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #AdamJohnson to discuss his book #HowToSellAGenocide (all royalties from which go to Middle East Children's Alliance)

    "We talk about how the #media whitewashed Israeli lies, erased Palestinian voices, and contrived a way to make a political settlement seem impossible, and war crimes not only acceptable, but also inevitable."

  9. new from journalist #AdamJohnson

    "#HowToSellAGenocide is a thorough indictment of US corporate #media’s role in enabling—and, at times, directly inciting—one of the most devastating campaigns of mass killing in modern memory."

  10. '[I]t’s been the go-to liberal zionist limited hangout since criticism of the US and #Israel’s destruction of #Gaza began to emerge among Democrats in late 2023 and early 2024—a popular tic, for example, of Sen. Bernie Sanders. It’s not Israel’s genocide, we are told, but “#Netanyahu’s war.” '

  12. CW: US pol: would-be vice-presidents

    Here is a "feeble excuse" to not challenge Democratic candidates to vice-presidency:

    "We can better impact the nominee’s decision from the inside than agitating from the outside.

    "Meaningless blather. The only thing any of these top Democratic prospects wants is support and progressive sheen, and once they have it all the after-the-fact backslapping in the world will amount to nothing. Support which has no conditions is support that can be taken for granted, and support that can be taken for granted has no influence or real power.

    "It’s noteworthy that the sole Democratic Palestinian-American in Congress, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, has refused to support Biden over his backing of genocide. Why should she be made to bear all the risk, all the isolation? To make the point that desperately needs making? Where is the solidarity for her position? Why is it less important than far-off promises to expand medicare?"

    This is very strange. I can't see how anyone is at fault here.
