Some comments from me here on propaganda in the Iran war. www.aol.com/news/iran-wa...
Iran war propaganda and free speech questions swirl | Opinion
Amid the Iran war, there's a propaganda war unfolding that tests free speech — and censorship.

The racism is pretty clear here, of course, in the depiction of America as an exclusively White country. The conflation of racism, militarism and religion, and the confounding of all of them with Trump's ego makes this one of the most revealing of all Trump's memes!
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 7mo agoMy very Catholic neighbor was out first thing this morning taking down his Trump flag. Do you think they’re showing up for the midterms? I don’t. “We came for the racism, not to have you mock the Pope.” They’re not going to care that you deleted it.
An open threat of genocide! This is the mentality of Trump and Netanyahu. Amazing that we have come to this place where such people are in power!
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.gov · 7mo agoDonald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.
Exclusive: Brendan Carr's latest warning to local TV station license-holders didn't come out of nowhere. It came out of Mar-a-Lago. Carr was at the president's Palm Beach resort on Saturday and was seen talking with Trump there 👇🏼👉🏼 cnn.it/4rDZaZD
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.
Must be nice to live in a functioning democracy governed by the rule of law...
Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world? NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

The New York Times long story on Dick Cheney refers to the claims about weapons of mass destruction that justified the Iraq war as an "intelligence failure." I would characterize them as a propaganda success, and it was one in which the Times played a central role.
Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."
Israel Widens Attacks Against Iran, Striking Broadcaster www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/w... The Times apologizes for Israel's attack on journalists, justifying it by Iran's poor record on press freedom; ignoring Israel's frequent attacks on journalists.

Inside the Explosive Meeting Where Trump Officials Clashed With Elon Musk www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u... Nice to get the inside story. But it's awfully gullible reporting to swallow whole the claim that "what Musk set out to do" was "reducing waste, fraud and abuse in government."
Rubio and Trump Officials Clash With Elon Musk in an Explosive Meeting
Simmering anger at the billionaire’s unchecked power spilled out in a remarkable Cabinet Room meeting. The president quickly moved to rein in Mr. Musk.
