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.
The Los Angeles fires should call to question the rationale of the slogan “burn-baby-burn.” Instead, Trump and his Republican cohorts are blaming the governor of CA and the mayor of Los Angeles. Why doesn’t the [corporate] media point out this incongruency? Complicity?

Yesterday I saw “From Ground Zero: Stories from Gaza,"
a documentary consisting of 22 episodes illustrating the daily existence of
Palestinians in Gaza. The movie contains very few scenes of tears in spite of
the incredible suffering of these brave people, including children. What most
moved me were the scenes of expression of hope and pride of being Gazans. The
most powerful scene was a group in a tent singing songs of hope and faith in
the future (see photo above). All this in the text of a Genocide committed by the Israeli
government that shows no more mercy than the Nazis did in World War II. I
couldn't help but compare this with the 2000 years of suffering of the Jews in
their Diaspora. It's hard for me to understand how Israeli Jews, or Jews
anywhere, are unable to miss this obvious comparison between their own history
and the sorrow fate of the Palestinian people.
