Exposed - The Direct Role of TV & Net Sites in Assisting All Prog Causes Thread

.............. News coverage of recent trends including police killings of unarmed black people, the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia appear to have followed a similar pattern: corporate media outlets promote false or exaggerated stories and polling data in turn shows liberals are more likely to believe in misinformation about those trends.

Next step is for internet sites to ban / cancel any posts that challenge the false news  .. even banning people who post unwanted challenges



We are not in a good spot  .. and it's not about to improve with current people in power who are helped by it all & are lovin it

Washington Post, NY Times issue major corrections over story that Rudy Giuliani's lawyer called 'totally false'

The Washington Post and New York Times issued major retractions on Saturday after initially reporting that Rudy Giuliani and One America News were warned by the FBI they were targets of a major Russian disinformation campaign during the 2020 presidential election season.



What did the newspapers report?

The Post reported on Thursday the FBI warned Giuliani in late 2019 "he was the target of a Russian influence operation aimed at circulating falsehoods intended to damage President [Joe] Biden."



The Post also reported that OAN received a similar warning.



The warning was part of an extensive effort by the bureau to alert members of Congress and at least one conservative media outlet, One America News, that they faced a risk of being used to further Russia's attempt to influence the election's outcome, said several current and former U.S. officials. All spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matter remains highly sensitive. Giuliani received the FBI's warning while deeply involved with former president Donald Trump's 2020 reelection campaign and related activities in Ukraine to surface unflattering or incriminating information about the Biden family.

Meanwhile, the Times claimed Giuliani had received a "defensive briefing" in which FBI agents were "cautioning him that some of the information he was pushing on the Biden family was tainted by Russian intelligence's efforts to spread disinformation."



Giuliani flatly denied the allegations.



Giuliani's attorney, Robert Costello, told CNN, "This story is totally false according to Mayor Giuliani. He never received any such briefing."



What did the retraction say?

The Post issued a retraction acknowledging that neither Giuliani nor OAN received warnings from the FBI as the newspaper initially claimed.



At the top of the story, an editor's note reads:



Correction: An earlier version of this story, published Thursday, incorrectly reported that One America News was warned by the FBI that it was the target of a Russian influence operation. That version also said the FBI had provided a similar warning to Rudolph W. Giuliani, which he has since disputed. This version has been corrected to remove assertions that OAN and Giuliani received the warnings.

The Times, on the other hand, initially edited out their claims about Giuliani having received a warning from the FBI without including an editor's note explaining the correction.



However, the newspaper later added the following note at the bottom of its story, "An earlier version of this article misstated whether Rudolph W. Giuliani received a formal warning from the F.B.I. about Russian disinformation. Mr. Giuliani did not receive such a so-called defensive briefing."

HonestReporting Canada is alarmed to see Canadian journalists sign a partisan and one-sided anti-Israel open letter lobbying Canadian news organizations on how to cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.



The May 14 letter entitled: "An open letter to Canadian newsrooms on covering Israel-Palestine" features the names of 1,539 people as of this writing, most who are activists and academics, but several who are from reputable news organizations like the CBC, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, CTV News, Macleans, Yahoo News Canada, Chatelaine, Global News, IPolitics, etc.



Importantly, the authors of this letter are unknown, but the letter itself is blatantly tendentious, hypocritical and skewed, and its selective use of facts reflect poorly on those who purport to be professional journalists.



[This is where we are at now - NO honest reporting - Only "Agenda" Reporting



Very BAAAAAAAD .. but no surprise in this 1984 world we are in]

There was a pro Israel rally here, but it was dwarfed by the pro Palestine rally.
