Surely anyone with two brain cells can see MSM for what it is by now?
Just look at the level of scrutiny and criticism Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently getting for her meeting with Syrian President Bashar al Assad, which she agreed to in order to help bring about PEACE, compared with the level of scrutiny and criticism other western politicians get when they meet with fascist Saudi despots, for WAR and arms deals.
See the attention given to protests and human rights abuses in Moscow, Hong Kong and Venezuela, compared to protests and human rights abuses in France, Haiti, Honduras, and all other countries with pro-US regimes.
See how Russiagate has been peddled for three years; a completely deranged conspiracy theory that Trump is working for Putin, (despite Trump’s consistently anti-Russia policies! Like just pulling out of the INF Treaty).
See the outrage at Russia’s alleged interference in the US election, and the silence about FAR more aggressive US interference all around the world, (which has killed 20-30 million people).
See how all kinds of US war propaganda is still published unquestioningly despite the US’s long history of imperialist atrocities.
See how it is never mentioned that the west consistently breaks international law. Eg by collectively punishing disobedient countries via sanctions, starving thousands to death.
See how the real driving factor behind western foreign policy - oil, profit and power - is never mentioned.
See how lifelong anti-war and anti-racist activist Jeremy Corbyn is smeared as antisemitic. Meanwhile war criminals like Blair and Alastair Campbell are treated like respectable elderly statesmen.
Etc etc etc.
People are waking up to all this, and to the general messed up state of our world, and as a result there’s now loads of new media that is unashamedly on the side of people+planet, rather than on the side of the warmongers and corporatists. Inevitably these outlets, like The Canary, are being targeted by centrists and establishment media, so it’s important we all support them. Here’s a few others that I have followed for a while now and that seem to me to do a pretty good job of speaking truth to power:
