卡罗尔·卡德瓦拉德 (Carol Cadwalladr) 和保罗·梅森 (Paul Mason) 的案件揭示了著名媒体人物是多么容易被招募到情报部门针对其他记者的秘密信息战中。
LONDON – Events of the past few days suggest British journalism – the so-called Fourth Estate – is not what it purports to be: a watchdog monitoring the centers of state power. It is quite the opposite. The pretensions of the establishment media took a severe battering this month as the defamation trial of Guardian columnist Carole Cadwalladr
我们对帮助的同情心正在被武器化，以杀死乌克兰人并摧毁他们的社区。在与“疯子”战斗时，我们正在暴露自己的精神错乱。
Nothing should better qualify me to write about world affairs at the moment – and Western meddling in Ukraine – than the fact that I have intimately followed the twists and turns of Israeli politics for two decades. We will turn to the wider picture in a moment. But before that, let us consider developments in Israel, as its “historic,” year-old
超级富豪收购媒体机构正是因为谎言比真相更容易传播——包括他们无价之宝的谎言。
SAN FRANCISCO – The most dangerous thing about Elon Musk buying Twitter outright for $44 billion is the rapidly spreading notion that his controlling an influential social media platform is dangerous. It is, but not for any of the reasons his critics assert. The current furor is dangerously misguided for two reasons. First, it assumes that one
异议的病态化并没有消失。随着新自由主义面临一次又一次的危机和社会两极分化的加剧，这种情况将愈演愈烈。那些自称是捍卫民主的自由主义者很快就会准备好扼杀它。
Back in the dark days of the Soviet Union, dissidents risked being locked up – but not, officially at least, on the grounds that they had committed a political crime. In the Soviet regime’s imagination, treason and mental illness were often two sides of the same coin. Here’s a brief description from Wikipedia of the phenomenon: The KGB [the
乌克兰人将为削弱俄罗斯付出代价，正如叙利亚人、利比亚人、伊朗人、也门人、委内瑞拉人和巴勒斯坦人在美国寻求实现其全球帝国计划的目标时付出的代价一样。
ANALYSIS – There is a discursive nervous tic all over social media at the moment, including from prominent journalists such as Guardian columnist George Monbiot. The demand is that everyone not only “condemn” Russian president Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine, but do so without qualification. Any reluctance to submit is considered certain
分而治之，培养部落主义，是对抗成功异议和革命威胁的保险政策。
OTTAWA – If you were Canada’s prime minister, what would you be prepared to do to enforce Covid restrictions on large swaths of your population? No one need ask that question any longer. Now we know the answer. For the first time in the country’s history, Justin Trudeau has invested his office with sweeping and undemocratic powers under the 1988
Whoopi Goldberg 对大屠杀的评论是错误的和笨拙的。但那些利用争吵的人是那些动机丑陋的人，即诽谤国际特赦组织关于以色列种族隔离的报告的反诽谤联盟 (ADL) 和企业媒体。
OPINION – Whoopi Goldberg is not someone I would normally rush to defend. Our politics are too far apart on too many issues. And many will doubtless take delight in the fact that the queen of cancel culture has just found herself canceled. But the pile-on against Goldberg for expressing a non-conventional view about the Holocaust needs
