Rupert cares about getting the story (ethics are often ignored)
Next time anybody talks about the inherent morality within the Murdoch empire, remind them of this: Rupert Murdoch‘s media giant News International could face a judicial inquiry after a highly critical parliamentary report today accuses senior executives at its top-selling newspaper of concealing the truth about the extent of illegal phone hacking by its journalists.…
White violence is clearly less problematic than Muslim violence
How does Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post report an attack when it’s “only” committed by a white person (instead of a Muslim?)
Mainstream media begins to finally explain what actually happens under occupation
A very strong article by Fairfax Middle East correspondent Jason Koutsoukis that outlines a Jewish state increasingly at war with itself, while the Jewish Diaspora simply whistles while their beloved state walks towards a cliff: On the way out of a popular Jerusalem steakhouse last Wednesday, I was introduced to an American-Israeli named Eliza. A…
Australian member of parliament thinks bombing Iran is almost inevitable
Australian, Jewish Zionist MP Michael Danby loves to talk about human rights in many countries around the world, except of course Palestine. It’s the usual program; issue directives without political risk but support the most reactionary elements of the Israeli political elite. And bombing Iran. Take his piece in the Wall Street Journal that argues…
Journalists love to compete for meaningless scoops about vacuous politicians
Need evidence that most corporate journalists see politics as a game, like sport? Over to you, Politico: Fox News has been making a serious charge about mainstream political reporters: They hate Sarah Palin. This is not just wrong, it’s absurd. The reality is exactly the opposite: We love Palin. And if Palin does not exactly…

Murder Iranians in the name of helping Obama, writes radical Jew
Daniel Pipes, a Jew who always loves to find a new war to support, has a new article (re-published in Murdoch’s Australian, of course) that offers the US President a way out of his political troubles: Obama can give orders for the U.S. military to destroy the Iranian nuclear weapon capacity.
Why should Australia gain in the UN by ignoring Israeli criminality?
This “exclusive” in today’s Murdoch Australian (also featured in the Melbourne Age) is a wake-up call to the Australian government. Blindly supporting Israel and mouthing platitudes about a two-state solution, while remaining silent on the siege of Gaza and the growing occupation, comes with a price: Kevin Rudd’s bid for a UN Security Council seat…
Over one million killed in Iraq but let’s not focus on details, writes Murdoch editorial
Unsure what to really think of the Iraq war? Let Murdoch’s Australian guide you through the complexity: Tony Blair was called a murderer on Friday by outraged activists after his evidence before the Chilcot inquiry into the origins of the war to remove Saddam Hussein. It is the sort of foolish sloganising that always characterised…
