There have been many debates here about the influence of Israel, a foreign power , over Washington . AIPAC- the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee- has been described as an agent of a foreign power and demands have been made that it be treated as such. So deeply has AIPAC inveigled itself into the government of the US of A that is mockingly referred to overseas as the US of AIPAC. Front-running American presidential candidates are chosen according to AIPAC oversight and they scramble for approval and millions of dollars from Zionist billionaires such as Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers. We know all of this because it is reported by journalists in our media. Journalist are a tough breed and they do dangerous work. By exercising their right to freedom of speech they support our own rights and the material they provide for publication by their editors allows us to monitor the activities of those whom we elect to represent us . Some journalists have their careers destroyed by those in power who assassinate their characters and ensure that they are denied work. They are investigated by the CIA at the whim of powerful people with something to hide. Some are murdered, as has been the case in many places throughout the world. Others are killed in action. 60 reporters have died in Syria to date. The North American reputation for upholding liberty and freedom has suffered terribly in recent years. The US has disgraced itself at the United Nations with hypocritical stances and vetoes and engaged in wars and assassinations which seem not to benefit Americans at all- quite the contrary. Its security services have been discovered to be engaged in the unconstitutional surveillance of its own people and in the illegal surveillance of the citizens of other countries and their leaders. As a consequence Washington and its activities and motives are seen as suspect, over-secretive and shabby , abroad as well as at home. News media reports on events and opinions enable us all to see and understand what is happening in our world, this one world which we all share and upon whose health we are all absolutely dependent. Well, there is breaking news for Americans. Your freedom-loving media is being censored by Israel So tell me, how is it good for Americans to have their media censored by a foreign power ?
"Globally influential publication" ? their site gets less hits than reddit or pornhub . Censorship in the internet age is a good way to make yourself irrelevant ... oh and there are media we all know are "voice of CIA" or " voice of Murdoch" so nothing new.
Which part of "court imposed gag order" did you not understand ? Do you really wish the media to report everything ?? Let's see how that might go: During our interview of Palestinian Ambassador al-Fudgebunz, it was noted he had not bathed in some time, and his nose kept dripping . It looked, in fact as if his moustache and beard had become hardened from the dried-out drippage. From the way he was shaking, some wondered if he might not be experiencing cocaine withdrawal......
I am not surprised with this, because I have learned from my personal experience that we do not have really free media in America. Major TV News channels are owned by corporations and, of course, they are instructed and censored. This becomes particularly clear, when they report news from abroad. Israeli lobby is powerful in America and it is enforced by American Evangelical church, making America almost like a puppet of Israel.
Read the link in my signature and you will find a private admission (speak boasting) of a prominent Zionist about the Zionist grip on America. Nixon new about it, he was eavesdropped when he told his opinion in a private conversation, but he had no guts to say about it openly. Deleted Off Topic Comment
The New York Times has, reluctantly, admitted that its copy is subject to the censorship of a foreign government. It's startling, but it's even more startling for those who view that foreign government as criminal and fascist. Which other US media outlets are censored by neo-Zionists in Israel ? I suggest that all mainstream US media outlets must be seen as questionable and challenged accordingly until statements are obtained from their owners and editors.
ALL news and media is brainwashing/propaganda. The sooner people realize this the better. If you want something different, Wikipedia when allowed to operate with full net neutrality, is the closest thing you will find. This does NOT preclude the need for consulting the bibliography, rather it should point you to verifiable first-hand sources/evidence, if available.
"Court-imposed gag orders" aren't always compatible with a free press though, are they? In fact, I'm pretty sure "gagging" people defeats the purpose of free speech.
If you bothered reading the op, you'd notice the issue is not about any one particular press outlet and what they do, rather it's about those that are controlling the press. The fact that you have the courts gagging people for no good reason is a cause for concern.
got any examples of the Israeli govt. reviewing NY Times stories, and crossing out the parts they don't like with a red pen? i thought not.
got any evidence that whenever the NYT writes an article dealing with Israel, they have it reviewed by Israel before publication? thought not.
they admitted no such thing. nor is there any such evidence that such a system exists. ....unless you're going to argue that having Jewish editors= being censored by Israel.
Well then. I wish, the Israeli Government had as much influence over the impotent, run by a man-child administration of ours, as it supposedly has over American media. We'd all be infinitely better off.
