Dispatches from
STEPHEN LENDMAN
O n issues mattering most, The Times shamelessly publishes state and corporate propaganda, pretending it’s all the news fit to print. Along with other media scoundrels, it long ago lost credibility, why alternative sources of news, information and analysis are growing at their expense. Following reliable ones exclusively is the only way to stay informed – essential in today’s dangerous world.
NYT Urges Internet Censorship
EDITOR’S NOTE:
Cover photo above: Dean Baquet, current New York Times editor.
Another black face to fool the masses. The Neoliberal plutocracy likes to hide behind politically correct masks. They did it brilliantly with Obama, they do it with many men and women pigeonholed in positions of pseudo power sprinkled throughout the establishment. Baquet, whose decency and fides as a true journalist can be gauged by his serving the Times, has been the executive editor of The New York Times since May 14, 2014, reporting directly to Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr., the chairman and publisher.[3] Between 2011 and 2014 he served as managing editor under the previous executive editor Jill Abramson.[4] Baquet is the first black American to serve as executive editor, the highest-ranking position in The New York Times newsroom. —PG

Will dark forces controlling America only let their message be disseminated, destroying the essence of democratic free expression? On Monday, Global Research editor Michel Chossudovsky [along with The Greanville Post editor Patrice Greanville who published an alert around the same time] stressed the danger and raised the same issue, essentially saying “(a) smear campaign is currently underway accusing the alternative and independent media online media of producing ‘Fake News.’ “
“Fake news,” according to Times editors, is content disagreeing with what the self-styled “newspaper of record” reports. “Real news” is daily rubbish it publishes – a cesspool of misinformation, distortions and Big Lies on major issues mattering most.
“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.”

The London-based, right wing, militantly anti-Russia Henry Jackson Society issued a disgraceful report, titled “Putin’s Useful Idiots: Britain’s Left, Right and Russia.”
Others admire Russia “in part out of ideological folly: they see anybody who opposes Western imperialism as a strategic bedfellow.”
Does that make me anti-American? A Kremlin puppet?
