Try searching for 'Rafah' on the X feeds of BBC News (World) BBC Breaking News & BBC News (UK) over the last 24 hours and you'll find not a goddamn thing. Nothing. Meanwhile this is what other broadcasters have posted about Israeli bombs incinerating innocent civilians

The difference between these BBC News (UK) & Al Jazeera English headlines is staggering. Anyone who thinks the story is just about an air “strike” and not about innocent civilians being killed has lost the plot

Guess that this is the Mail’s idea of balance. The real scandal here though is the idea of a Labour shadow chancellor explicitly promising to be ‘guided by a Thatcher-style commitment to “sound money”’ #generalelection

RIP Greg Philo - the fearless activist academic & researcher whose work for the Glasgow University Media Group on news bias and power influenced so many people. Passionate to the end in support of union rights, refugees, Palestinian sovereignty and social justice.

Meta's chief AI scientist admits that machines 'do not understand the physical world, do not have persistent memory, cannot reason in any reasonable definition of the term and cannot plan . . . hierarchically'. All in all, an existential threat to humanity ft.com/content/23fab1…

We're not going to get these types of headlines in @thesun because a) what's there to attack? & b) Starmer has launched a charm offensive to win Murdoch's support. 'We can't keep Starmer away' said a Murdoch source last summer #generalelection

Have a feeling that the tone of election coverage will be a little different this time around

This is too incredible: New York University forcing its students to undergo training to compensate their pro-Palestine actions. The wonderful Paula Chakravartty responds that 'NYU can't be both 'the Starbucks of education' & a serious uni.' A warning to us all nytimes.com/2024/05/17/nyr…

Since I wrote my Declassified UK article, The Guardian has published 2 news stories mentioning Hind Rajab both of which describe her as 'a 6-year-old child killed in Gaza'. Is this the official line despite detailed investigations rebutting Israeli denials? declassifieduk.org/found-dead-in-…

Unlike the Columbia University occupiers, the UK mainstream media have forgotten about how the Israeli army killed Hind Rajab. It's as if the approach is 'move on, nothing to see here'. We can't move on and we won't forget. My piece for Declassified UK declassifieduk.org/found-dead-in-…

Columbia President Minouche Shafik who set the NYPD on her own students starts her non-apology in
Financial Times with 'the horrors of the Hamas attack' in contrast to 'the tragic loss of civilian lives in Gaza'. Once more Palestinian lives mysteriously 'disappear' ft.com/content/18432b…

Is there another Pulitzer Prize for irony? washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

Outrageous that The Pulitzer Prizes names New York Times & Reuters but not a single Palestinian journalist in this 'accolade'. Talks about 'horrific conditions' but no mention of the number of journalists killed by Israeli forces or the heroism of individual Palestinian reporters

Famous 'outside agitators' include Jesus Christ, Joan of Arc, Thomas Paine, Frederick Douglass, the Pankhursts, 1960s Freedom Riders, Martin Luther King, Che Guevara & so many more interfering people who should mind their own business nypost.com/2024/04/30/us-…

Solidarity & respect to students wherever they are for their amazing stand in support of justice for Palestinians - needed now more than ever counterfire.org/article/the-mo…

The student press’ coverage of the pro Gaza protests couldn’t be more different than the craven stenography of the mainstream media
