The centralization of ownership of the private media in the United States and elsewhere has become increasingly pronounced, at the same time that its reporting has become increasingly one-sided and monolithic. My blog seeks to expose this lack of objectivity and present alternative ideas that point in the direction of much-needed fundamental change.

New Report Reveals Systematic, Blatant Lying about Afghanistan
A study of the War in Afghanistan published by the Washington
Post demonstrates how the U.S. public has been systematically misled and how the
versions presented by government spokespeople and politicians have been diametrically
opposed to what military personal on the ground were saying. Once in a (long) while
the U.S. media in its reporting on foreign policy and affairs gets it right.
But what the Washington Post isn’t
saying is that this systematic lying has characterized U.S. interventionism throughout
the world since the end of World War II, if not before. “Remember the Maine.”
Remember the Pentagon Papers. And those are just two cases. There are scores
and scores, if not hundreds, of others.
