Gladwyn d’Souza<p>Israel has long relied on its much-vaunted <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/hasbara" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hasbara</span></a> — propaganda — to obscure the brutal reality of its colonial occupation of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Palestine</span></a>. Several American organisations have been identified as working closely with the Israeli government’s advocacy efforts. Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), the National Black Empowerment Council (NBEC), Hillel International. As the genocidal campaign in <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gaza</span></a> continues and criticism of Israeli policies intensifies, these coordinated efforts are poised to escalate. This growing Israeli influence threatens to undermine free speech and subvert the very principles of American democracy, all in the pursuit of defending what is so clearly a rogue, apartheid regime.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AlternativeMediaExposesTheKleptocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlternativeMediaExposesTheKleptocracy</span></a><br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MainstreanMediaEchoesMAGAsRacistAntiImmigrantAntiTransTalkingPoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MainstreanMediaEchoesMAGAsRacistAntiImmigrantAntiTransTalkingPoints</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.juancole.com/2024/06/manipulation-propaganda-consciousness.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">juancole.com/2024/06/manipulat</span><span class="invisible">ion-propaganda-consciousness.html</span></a></p>

Gladwyn d’Souza<p>In his new book, ¨Journalists and Their Shadows,¨ Patrick Lawrence describes his experience over decades as an editor and foreign correspondent of watching the media rise and fall in its ability to serve as a force to hold power accountable. Lawrence writes about the shadows, or authentic selves, that most journalists currently sacrifice in order to maintain employment in mainstream media outlets and the detrimental impact this has on public discourse. He also describes the antidote – an independent alternative media – and the current obstacles to creating a much-needed vibrant democratized media system.<br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MainstreanMediaEchoesMAGAsRacistAntiImmigrantAntiTransTalkingPoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MainstreanMediaEchoesMAGAsRacistAntiImmigrantAntiTransTalkingPoints</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JudithMillerIDFEmbeddedMoment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JudithMillerIDFEmbeddedMoment</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JournalisticMalPracticeIsRampantFromSegregationToGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JournalisticMalPracticeIsRampantFromSegregationToGaza</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://scheerpost.com/2024/02/21/patrick-lawrence-corporate-media-is-an-arm-of-power-we-must-build-an-alternative/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">scheerpost.com/2024/02/21/patr</span><span class="invisible">ick-lawrence-corporate-media-is-an-arm-of-power-we-must-build-an-alternative/</span></a></p>
Gladwyn d’Souza<p>The Guardian goes to great lengths to attract advertisers and earns a lot from it. While it&#39;s important to highlight and criticise the Guardian&#39;s output and the role it plays in spreading propaganda, we shouldn&#39;t be sending visitors to the site when doing it. Especially as popular outrage often drives more traffic to the Guardian than even the Guardian&#39;s own social media accounts.<br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MainstreanMediaEchoesMAGAsRacistAntiImmigrantAntiTransTalkingPoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MainstreanMediaEchoesMAGAsRacistAntiImmigrantAntiTransTalkingPoints</span></a><br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LegacyMediaMisInformationDoesNotSeeFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LegacyMediaMisInformationDoesNotSeeFascism</span></a></p><p><a href="https://theguardian.fivefilters.org/how-to-share/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.fivefilters.org/ho</span><span class="invisible">w-to-share/</span></a></p>
