“Fake News” on Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Ukraine, Yemen: Support Global Research’s Battle against Media Disinformation | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization
Dear Global Research Readers,
A smear campaign is currently underway accusing the alternative and independent online media of producing “Fake News”.
Our analysis confirms that the corporate media rather than the alternative media are routinely involved in distorting the facts and turning realities upside down.
They are the unspoken architects of “Fake News”.
They deny Israeli war crimes against Palestinians,
they fail to mention that the US, Britain, France, Turkey and
Saudi Arabia are providing covert support to both Al Qaeda and the
Islamic State (ISIS-Daesh),
they disregard the fact that two Neo-Nazi parties are part of the Ukrainian government coalition,
they accuse the Syrian government of killing their own people.
In the words of Mark Taliano:
“The War on Syria is not a “civil” war; the
“uprising” was not “democratic”; Assad does not “starve his own people”;
Assad does not “bomb his own people”, and, of course, there are no
“moderate” terrorists.”
The US and its allies are directly or indirectly involved in several illegal wars: Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen. These
acts of military aggression are casually upheld by the mainstream media
as “humanitarian wars” under the doctrine of “Responsibility to Protect
(R2P).
In turn, the ongoing US-led bombing raids against Syria and Iraq
resulting in countless civilian deaths are portrayed by the MSM as a
“counter-terrorism campaign” against the Islamic State, which just so
happens to be financed by America’s closest allies, including Turkey and
Saudi Arabia.
