News outlets didn't make a mistake. They knowingly aired disinformation and peddled fake news. Admitting that requires a troubling recalibration of perspective if we're ever to make sense of the world
The Owen Jones interview is at least partially age-gate distribution limited on Youtube.
Youtube is suppressing distribution of a perfect example of legacy media inverting reality, promoted by a social media "influencer" which fitted their editorial wishes. Pure distortion by legacy media followed by a partial cover up by Google.
The reporting on health and nutrition and the disappearance of the climate crisis make it so plain that the MSM is just a megaphone for the pharma, fossil fuel and animal ag industries.
Has anyone asked the Dutch police what happened- it's actually their job to find out and not the media's- though as the law doesn't matter anymore- only perception and trial by twitter- I guess it's irrelevant what the police think- they also have to tow the party line.
The combatting of the rise of non-existent anti-sematism began immediately after Oct 7th 2023. The narrative also creates anti-sematism where there was none. Shoring up the concept of the allegded need for a Jewish State.
I thought it was obvious to everyone that the Amsterdam "pogrom" is a lie since there are videos circulating that clearly disprove it. And even if you bought the idea that they were attacked, the media hysterics is itself a red flag: why paint it as antisemitism when plain old football hooliganism is far more likely? Why did Amsterdamers wait for outsiders to pogrom, don't they have any local semites? I asked ChatGPT: 2% of the population of Amsterdam is Jewish AND it's conveniently centered in the... Jodenbuurt, literal translation: Jewish Quarter. The antisemites ignored these sitting ducks that were there for picking and went instead after a throng of strong young men high on testosterone and alcohol. Right.
I found out today that one of the normies in our social circle believes it actually happened just as the media portrays it. He thinks everything originating from real people is not believable, he says he trusts experts/media because they have a reputation to keep. It's a pretty good argument, I don't know how to explain to him that they've sold their reputation (and soul).
It’s shocking to see by this story how much the media are lying to us. I know they were bad but this exposes them to anybody that cares to look what dog shit they feed us daily and most people lap it up.
Excellent article Jonathan, thank you for reporting on yet another egregious and ultimately dangerous distortion of the facts. Sadly, the monstrous Zionist narrative which dehumanises Arabs is widely peddled in Western media to the shame of all involved in that work.
The more the mainstream media deliberately obsfucates the truth, especially about the Gaza genocide and regional invasion by Israel, the more, we the public turn to alternative media. The increase in subscribers and viewing figures speaks for itself.
Brilliant article. I would love to see your work more widely distributed in Australia, where we suffer from the same establishment media lies. Please consider submitting your work to online publication Pearls & Irritations https://johnmenadue.com/style-guide-2/
Journalists and editors with genuine integrity would tender their resignations and publicly proclaim they can no longer help propagate their employer’s corrupt media product (be it from the Right or Left). It’s their ethical/moral duty to publicly call-out the self-compromised mainstream news-media for which they work(ed).
By doing so, such brave journalists/editors can at least then proclaim they will no longer complacently or complicitly assist in the corrupted news-media product’s creation and/or dissemination.
I hear of too many cases of employees not standing up in such situations to do what is necessary for the public or human good, instead excusing themselves with something like: ‘I needed to keep this job; I have a family to support’. I’m afraid that — unless, of course, they were actually forced into coupling, copulating and procreating however many years before — such familial obligation status does not actually ethically or morally justify their complacency/complicity.
This situation provides a rare opportunity to see clearly how the media functions. This is not an isolated incident. Although some stories on the media may be true, "information" on the mass media can never be trusted. The media can put any narrative it wants on a video recorded event.
The really sad part is that if the bad guys continue to win, this distorted narrative will become history. How much of what we have been taught has been similarly twisted.
Brilliant article. A very big Thank You to Jonathan Cook 🙏❣️

Welcome to modern "media".
Thank you for being here and for being a genuine - and brave - journalist.
We need you and folk like you so much - for right now - and for our children & grandchildren.
The lies and deceit are beyond any words I have.
The reporting on health and nutrition and the disappearance of the climate crisis make it so plain that the MSM is just a megaphone for the pharma, fossil fuel and animal ag industries.
Journalism died a long time ago.

I'm so glad that there are sane voices in the ever-increasing wilderness Jonathan. Thanks.
Thank You Jonathan

I finally woke up to the blatant lies and distortions of the "mainstream" media in 1990 and haven't paid any attention to it since. It roots
It rots the mind. I've been trying to get others I know to ditch it ever since without much luck.

Dear Jonathan Cook
You act like this is something new. It isn't, it's been going on before you were born.
Don't you know who runs all Western mainstream media? The Jewish oligarchy.
