  1. "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?

  3. "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

  4. What Bari Weiss is doing to CBS in general and 60 Minutes in particular is an unforgivable attack on the freedom of US television news.

    Less serious, but significant nonetheless, is the harm Weiss has wreaked on attempts by some US liberals to question groupthink in some quarters of academia, the media, and the nonprofit sector.

    By her using the pose of a "radical centrist" questioning "woke orthodoxy" to strengthen right wing power in education and the media, she has made honest and productive debate about conformity and freedom of expression even more difficult than it already was.

    I cannot abide her bad faith posturing!

    Seriously, I do not think that the Washington press dinner shooting was staged by the Trump regime.

    That some intelligent people think otherwise shows how deeply Trump and other right wingers have degraded public discourse in the USA.

  8. What Was The Point of October 7th? How the US-Israeli War Against Iran Was All Part of the Plan

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYudVjjt2E8 What did Yahya Sinwar and the other leaders of Hamas expect to gain in the long run from the Al-Aqsa Flood in October of 2023? Most media in the US and UK have overlooked this question over the two and a half years since the flood began. So it's no surprise that those same media outlets have been blindsided by the US and Israel's War against Iran and the massive geopolitical quagmire they've created as a result, but when we consider what Sinwar […]

  10. #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."
