Media Workers Against the War have sent us this:
1. The Guardian and Iraq: Bad news
Yesterday's (May 22) splash by Simon Tisdall in the Guardian marks a
watershed: in the words of analyst David Edwards of Media Lens, it is
the "single worst piece of journalism I can recall reading" in the
paper.
The article claimed to present evidence that Iran was uniting with
al-Qaeda to attack US and UK forces in Iraq. But the 3-page article
making this claim, all 1,200 words of it, cited just one single,
unnamed source throughout (”a senior US official in Baghdad”), and
there was not a single quote from any expert who would question the
allegations.
How could the Guardian's senior editors stoop so low?

Media workers against the war made this video a while back, which you should see.
The problem is so many walk, refusing to submit to the lies, out only to be replaced by more eager wannabe media

Its not just the war mate, the level of journalistic integrity and knowledge on every field I'm experienced in is V. poor. Their technology stories are replete with miscalculations, misnaming and out and out errors. |
