The Seven Richest Billionaires Are All Media Barons

November 26, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. Educate! Billionaires, Censorship, Israel, Media, Propaganda, Social Media, Zionism

Trump loyalist and CIA contractor Larry Ellison’s purchase of CNN appears imminent, and marks the latest venture into media for the world’s second-richest individual. But Ellison is not alone. Indeed, the world’s seven richest individuals are all now powerful media barons, controlling what the world sees, reads, and hears, marking a new chapter in oligarchical control over society and striking another blow at a free, independent press and diversity of opinion. Paramount Skydance– an Ellison-owned company– is in pole position to purchase Warner Brothers Discovery, a conglomerate that controls gigantic film and television studios, streaming services like HBO Max and Discovery+, franchises like DC Comics, and TV networks such as HBO, TNT, Discovery Channel, TLC, Food Network, and CNN.

Let’s Debunk The NY Times’ Anti-Venezuela Vomit

November 24, 2025 Lee Camp, Substack. Educate! New York Times (NYT), Propaganda, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

It’s time to yet again decode / debunk / defenestrate the pro-war garbage pumped out by the New York Times. This time they’re trying to make sure the US invades Venezuela. Apparently just blowing up fishermen in the Caribbean is not enough for the bloodthirsty clowns worthy of starring in Stephen King’s It. They want a full-blown disaster like the US invasion of Iraq. Let’s pick apart just a portion of the propaganda in their opinion piece “The Case for Overthrowing Maduro” (which many argue is actually a case for canceling your New York Times subscription).

‘Newspeak’ Comes To The Energy Department

October 19, 2025 Kurt Cobb, Resilience. Educate! Censorship, Department of Energy, Propaganda, Trump Administration

In George Orwell’s novel, 1984, a totalitarian regime now rules the homeland and operates by three slogans: 1) War is peace, 2) freedom is slavery and 3) ignorance is strength. In 1984 the term “Newspeak” refers to what is essentially a mandatory style guide for using the English language under that regime by substituting Newspeak formulations for common words and phrases so as to make public discourse conform to the ruling party’s orthodoxy. (For a list Newspeak words and phrases, check here.) Not surprisingly, failure to conform to this style in written and oral communications is considered a crime. In fact, to think thoughts contrary to those expressed in Newspeak terms is considered a “thoughtcrime” because it implies one’s personal values are not in harmony with official party dogma.

Media Refuse To Sign Up As Propagandists For Trump’s Pentagon

October 15, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Educate! Censorship, Media, Pentagon, Propaganda

Nearly all media organizations refused to sign a censorship policy at the Pentagon that imposes greater control over credentialed reporters and the information that they publish. The policy, championed by Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth, was first proposed in mid-September. It resulted in an immediate backlash because the policy required reporters to pledge not to share any military information, including unclassified information, unless that information is officially approved for release. On October 6, the Pentagon revised the policy [PDF]. It changed to “military members” must seek approval from an “appropriate authorizing official” before releasing information to the press.

The War Department’s War On Media

October 1, 2025 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. Educate! Censorship, Donald Trump, Fascism, Media, Pete Hegseth, Propaganda

It should be evident by now to anyone paying even casual attention that exerting full-spectrum control over American media is among the Trump regime’s most perniciously obsessive projects. Of all the extra-constitutional messes this vulgar ignoramus is making, I count his assaults on media his gravest attempt to destroy what remains of American democracy and what little chance there may be to restore it. There are all sorts of cases in point. President Trump has a citizen’s right to file lawsuits against various media — ABC News, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Paramount Global (the parent of CBS News) — but to call these anything other than an antidemocratic assertion of executive power is out of the question.

UN Declares Genocide In Gaza While 250 US Lawmakers Are In Israel

September 28, 2025 Tyler Poisson, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! Congress members, Israel, Media, Propaganda, Zionism

On the same day the UN released its report, approximately 250 US state legislators, representing all 50 states and both parties, were in Israel for a “50 States, One Israel” conference sponsored by the Israeli government. The Jerusalem Post (9/15/25) characterized it as “the largest-ever delegation of US lawmakers” to Israel. According to ethics disclosures reported in the Boston Herald (9/14/25), Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Alan Silvia’s trip to Israel for the conference cost $6,500. The Herald said Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs would “reimburse, waive or pay for travel expenses, though it was unclear what portion of the costs the government planned to cover.” Quoting Rep. Ilana Rubel (D-Idaho), Boise State Public Radio (9/17/25) reported that no Idaho taxpayer funds were used to send any of five Idaho state legislatures to the conference.

Top US Firm Ends Contract With Israel To Whitewash Gaza War Crimes

September 18, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Resist! Israel, Media, Palestine, Propaganda, Public Relations

US public affairs giant SKDK has ended a $600,000 contract with the Israeli government that “promoted Israel’s perspective” about the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, according to POLITICO. “SKDK stopped this work on Aug. 31 and has begun the process of de-registering,” a spokesperson for SKDK told the DC-based magazine, declining to comment on the reasons why the contract was cut short early, saying only that the work “had run its course.” According to POLITICO, the contract between Tel Aviv and SKDK was expected to run until March 2026. The announcement followed a report by Sludge on 15 September that said the firm was involved in a bot program to boost pro-Israel content online.

Propaganda 101: The Illusion Of Truth

September 9, 2025 Rifat Audeh, Popular Resistance. Educate! Accountability, Human Rights, Israel, Media, Palestine, Propaganda, War crimes

The Israeli crimes perpetrated AFTER October 7th 2023 represent the reason why the October 7th events unfolded. You read that correctly, but I’ll say it again: the Israeli crimes perpetrated AFTER October 7th are why the heroic Palestinian resistance (i.e. Hamas) attacked the Nazi Zionist apartheid terrorist entity to begin with. But what happened on October 7th? This is something that’s been discussed extensively; discussed honestly only in rare cases, but distorted, misinterpreted and lied about the vast majority of the time. This is because the doctrine/policy of (pro-)Israeli propagandists and their allies – the prostitutes of propaganda- such as CNN, the BBC, Fox News, Talk TV and countless others, conforms to the Nazi practices of Hitler and his minister Joseph Goebbels.

NPR Slants The Case Against Mumia Abu-Jamal

September 7, 2025 Jim Naureckas, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! Journslism, Mumia Abu-Jamal, NPR, Propaganda

After attacks from police groups, National Public Radio quickly backed away from its plan to air commentaries by Pennsylvania death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal. Abu-Jamal, an African-American journalist, received a death sentence after being convicted in the December 1981 shooting death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner—in a trial marred by gross procedural errors. NPR vice president Bill Buzenberg explained the 1994 decision not to air Abu-Jamal by saying it was “not appropriate to use someone in the commentator’s role who is the focal point of a highly polarized and political controversy without at the same time providing the context of the controversy and without other voices involved in that controversy.”

The Great Hoax Against Venezuela: Oil Geopolitics Disguised As ‘War On Drugs’

September 3, 2025 Pino Arlacchi, Venezuelanalysis. Educate! Cuba, Donald Trump, Ecuador, Media, Propaganda, US Imperialism, Venezuela

During my time as head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), I frequently travelled to Colombia, Bolivia, Peru and Brazil, but never to Venezuela. There was simply no need. The Venezuelan government’s collaboration in the fight against drug trafficking was among the best in South America, rivalled only by Cuba’s impeccable record. This makes Trump’s narrative of a “narco-state” in Venezuela sound like geopolitically motivated slander. The 2025 World Drug Report tells a story that is the opposite of the narrative peddled by the Trump administration. Piece by piece, the report dismantles the geopolitical lie built around the “Cartel de los Soles”, an entity as mythical as the Loch Ness Monster, but which is useful for justifying sanctions, blockades and threats of military intervention against a country which, incidentally, sits on one of the planet’s largest oil reserves.

On The Ethics Of Embedding With Génocidaires

On Sunday, August 10, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a dramatic announcement: After 674 days of barring foreign media from Gaza, Israel was planning to begin staging guided tours, under Israeli military control, for embedded members of the foreign press. “We have decided, and have ordered, directed the military, to bring in foreign journalists—more foreign journalists, a lot,” said Israel’s premier, in a rambling, paranoid half-hour press conference—staged, he said, to dispel “the global campaign of lies” against Israel. “There’s a problem with assuring security, but I think it can be done in a way that is responsible and careful to preserve your own safety.

The Cartel Of The Suns: Leftovers That Were Never Edible

August 24, 2025 Clodovaldo Hernández, Venezuelanalysis. Educate! Nicolas Maduro, Propaganda, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The US narratives about the Cartel of the Suns and the alleged connection of President Nicolás Maduro with drug trafficking are nothing more than a reheated dish that was never edible, not even when it was first cooked. However, the poor quality of this stew does not make it any less dangerous. The imperial power has used even more rotten pots as excuses to invade countries, bomb cities, and exterminate entire pueblos. In fact, just days after US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the doubling of the reward Washington is offering for Maduro’s capture, military forces were deployed in the Caribbean under the pretext of repressing drug trafficking by “Latin American cartels.” The Venezuelan government and the Bolivarian National Armed Force (FANB), with their long experience confronting all kinds of aggressions—military, paramilitary, mercenary—from abroad, have remained on high alert.

UN And EU Confirm Venezuela Far From Being A Narco-Country

August 19, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Educate! Narcotics trafficking, Propaganda, United Nations, Venezuela

Last June, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) released its World Drug Report 2025, a key document that illustrates the findings of the UN’s global information system regarding the drug problem. This report is the most important of its kind in the world because it compiles information from governments and security agencies. It is used by governments to develop their policies and coordinate efforts in their fight against drug trafficking. The document was referenced by President Nicolás Maduro, who cited some of its mentions of Venezuela. According to the UNODC, Venezuela has consolidated its position over the past 15 years as a territory free of coca leaf cultivation, marijuana and cocaine processing, the president said, citing the report. This figure is particularly relevant given that global cocaine production has increased significantly to 3,708 tons per year, according to the agency.

Understanding The Plot To Break Ghana And Destroy The AES Countries

August 13, 2025 Edzorna Francis Mensah, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Africa, Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Ghana, Neocolonialism, Nigeria, Propaganda, Regime Change, Revolution

There’s a storm brewing over Ghana, and it didn’t start yesterday. The tragedy is layered, the signs are familiar, and for those who have lived through history’s brutal cycles of foreign meddling and orchestrated collapse, it’s déjà vu all over again. Since President John D. Mahama came to power, Ghana has been quietly strengthening ties with Sahel countries, especially Burkina Faso and Mali, who have rejected French and American military presence and charted new Pan-African courses. The AES alliance threatens Western hegemony. It signals a post-FRANCOPHONE, post-NATO Africa. Ghana’s collaboration with these countries raised alarm bells in London, Paris, and Washington.

A Quartet Of Nicaragua Critics Sings From Washington’s Songbook

August 11, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Media, Nicaragua, Propaganda, US Imperialism

In recent weeks, a motley crew of writers has found common cause in attacking Nicaragua’s Sandinista government: Jaden Hong, a high-school student from Sammamish, Washington, who has never visited the country; Jared O. Bell, a former USAID Foreign Service Officer; Barb Arland-Fye, editor of a Catholic newspaper in Iowa; and Gioconda Belli, a 76-year-old Nicaraguan novelist in self-exile. Writing in outlets ranging from The Teen Magazine to the New York Times, they have produced a string of biased, ill-informed pieces that repeat the same well-worn falsehoods about Nicaragua’s elected government. Their attacks on Nicaragua’s revolution reflect Washington’s talking points as it pursues its regime-change agenda.
