The media's job is to create the impression of uncertainty, doubt and confusion. Our job is to explode that lie, denying them and the political class they protect an alibi
Interestingly enough I don’t remember seeing anywhere your article on why the UN have failed Israel… You’re no journalist; you’re a political activist.
What percentage of the populations of the West access their News still from MSM ?
At least the youth of today have turned away from MSM outlets and have gone to social media platforms, for better or worse. How much will the banning of TikTok in the US affect this audience as a transmitter of news ?
MSM is increasingly losing and credibility and audience numbers, young people can see thru the lies and propaganda presented on a daily basis. Cable news channels such as CNN and MSNBC are going down the tubes real fast along with many other mainstream outlets globally.
It would have been larger of course, but it was a industry in flux then ... now we have moved into different areas and diversified ... when was the last time you involved yourself with msm?
Probably been a good 8-10 years, in Australia the Murdoch press owns 70% of MSM, say no more. Since Covid it has become much worse and its always there plying in an airport or train station or other public places. Can be hard to avoid
Well put in this article. The mainstream media like the BBC see their duty as misinforming and keeping the masses in the dark.
"Genocide? What genocide? Nothing to see here, move along - oh here's the Eurovision song competition, featuring Israel - don't ask why Israel isn't welcome in their own neighbourhood - its certainly nothing to do with apartheid, illegal occupation or genocide"
"Israel has killed a tenth of their number – some 100 journalists – as it tries to prevent the truth of its atrocities from getting out. Israel’s has been most deadly eruption of violence against journalists ever recorded."
True journalists have been slain in Gaza--and yet the "pretend journalists" continue on covering for the corrupt genocide-enabling Western governments and of course the ethnic cleansing ethnostate of Israel. Some day I hope we see these pretenders put out of their well-paid positions and true journalists returned.
"You can’t go to war, or retaliate, against a people whose territory you have been belligerently occupying and stealing for decades."
And according to the law of war a people who has been occupied and under siege has every right to fight back by whatever means necessary which Hamas did. No they didn’t have the right to target civilians, but again the media leaves out that many of the hostages are military personnel.
Plus as has been mentioned numerous times, the Israeli military killed more Israelis civilians than Hamas did.
There is the odd exception to this. An excellent article by Naomi Klein and published in the guardian suggests we are seeing some dissent emerge: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/24/zionism-seder-protest-new-york-gaza-israel?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Hey BBC !! Learn from Jonathan Cook
The media hasn’t failed. It’s doing precisely what its Oligarch owners want it to do.

Ya gotta be kidding !?
Such trash you speak
There is no symmetry between the failure of media re Gaza
And the Un which gave them Palestinian land to created a racist state
Same goes for here in America. No mention at all of Gaza devastation

Do you know, 350m newspapers are sold in the world every single day -
Thats great, what was the figure 10 years ago ?

This atrocious behavior is Wrong.
With so much happening here on our land, the fight for our Democracy is #1.
I don't care to engage in the Trump buddies camp.
I'm still Voting 💙 for Biden, even though, I don't like War anywhere.
Netanyahu is a destroyer like his low life fiend, Trump would like to be.
Weak men and their wars.
Thank you for doing the work.
👏👏👏

there is one reason and one reason only for the lack of coverage of the media. 95% of the media is owned by Zionists. end of story.

May the God of Many Names bless you, Jonathan Cook, for your courage.
"For they are not all Israel which are of Israel." Roman's 9:6.
You nailed it, Jonathan. It's a deeply disturbing fact that the traditional trustworthy sources are no longer reliable.

Bingo!
