Why there are no reporters in Europe like him any more?
They all have turned into cowards at best or genocide supporters at worst. The disgusting dirty and disgusting atmosphere created by Israeli supporters and right wing media owners not to forget the sold out politicians and indifferent public (on top of racism and islamophobia) have created a vaccume of strong, knowledgeable and brave reporters who are not afraid of telling the truth.
With Robert Fisk gone, The independent have also turned into a echo chamber of pro Israeli voices. German and Swedish media are not even worth reading any more and I get better news from Israeli media criticizing the fascist regime of Netanyahu than any of the so called progressives and liberals in those countries.
@faab64@palestine@israel Agreed. It’s rough when Haaretz is the most reliable not jumped-off-the-deep-end reporting of MSM on #idf etc. In US Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez with Democracy Now and the entire staff seem to have rather good contacts around the world, used to talk with RF, and these contacts have blogs or posts in diverse sites. It’s not as easy to get information as BE (before Elon)on dead bird site. I cancelled one online US news subscription 6.08.
@odaraia@faab64@palestine@israel We can also see how effective the torture, persecution and defamation of Julian Assange has been in getting obedience from the mass media. The MSM supported this.
The capitalist classes knows how weak they are. In this breakdown of the profit system they will show all their cunning and ruthlessness.
Workers, students and youth have to fund, support and build their own media in the struggle for power.
