The media can’t report on damage to Israel’s critical infrastructure because Israel doesn’t want its citizens, or you, to know the truth.

At some time in the future, if the human mind becomes something totally different from what it is now, we may learn to separate literary creation from intellectual honesty. At present we know only that the imagination, like certain wild animals, will not breed in captivity.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1946-01), “The Prevention of Literature,” Polemic

Ah, nothing screams "freedom of the press" like a good old spyware scandal 🎉. The US-backed Israeli firm puts its "innovative" tools to work, showing European journalists that privacy is soooo last century. Meanwhile, Air India is just trying to make it to London without becoming the next headline 💺😂.

They should have tried her in court for being a whistleblower.
That is something Albanese could support.

In his weekly newsletter to constituents, Scalise offers a litany of concern and advice for hurricane preparedness. Meanwhile he is a leading Republican in cutting the National Weather Service, which is the primary source of storm tracking and prediction. He also wants to drastically cut funding to NASA and its climate research, and reduce if not eliminate FEMA, the federal disaster response agency. Nice words, Steve, but your actions speak louder and we know how much you disdain actually helping the people in need.
Louisiana embarrassment Steve Scalise advises preparing now for hurricane season and says we should “pay attention to updates from the local media outlets.” Which is good advice except this is of course the same congressman who, along with the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief and fellow Republicans, routinely lambasts American media as liars and enemies of the people. So, Steve, we’re to trust them with our lives but not with daily news?

A team including #FreeSpeech lawyer Theodore J. Boutrous filed the suit for #NPR & the stations jointly in DC. The suit calls #Trump's EO “textbook retaliation” & an existential threat to the #PublicRadio system "that millions of Americans across the country rely on for vital #news & #information."
“The Executive Order is a clear violation of the #Constitution & the #FirstAmendment's protections for freedom of speech & association, & #FreedomOfThePress,”NPR Pres & CEO Katherine Maher said.
“The Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), a Paramount shareholder, notified company executives in a letter on Friday that a settlement with Trump ‘could amount to a bribe’ to the president and his administration ‘for their approving and not impeding’ a merger of Paramount and the entertainment company Skydance.”

If you buy a presidential election, you own the president. And when you own the president, you can tell him to make trouble for anyone who tells the truth about you -- like exposing your website for the Nazi-infested rathole it has become. #America didn't elect #ElonMusk but he is in charge nevertheless!

Human Rights Watch: Press freedom in Greece going 'from bad to worse'.
A new report published by Human Rights Watch (HRW) has delivered a scathing assessment about the state of press freedom and the difficulties facing journalists in Greece.
HRW says the 'image internationally of a forward-thinking and modern administration' that Athens wishes to present to the world is at odds with the reality on the ground.
It looks like Lawrence O'Donnell reporting truth made Titty Baby Dementia orange Mussolini flip the fuck out.
