quote:Bradley Manning Support Network Under Army Investigation
The Bradley Manning Support Network is under investigation by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, as revealed by a copy of a Freedom of Information Act request response. In this case, the request for records pertaining to the activist umbrella group was denied, but the reason for the denial - that "an active investigation is in progress with an undetermined completion date" - is obviously news in and of itself, which is presumably why none of the infotainment outlets posing as news organizations have reported on the development thus far.
As of 1:30 PM CST, the FOIA response indicating that a network of activists who advocate on behalf of a celebrated accused whistleblower are being pursued by a branch of the U.S. military has not been mentioned by a single news organization with a web presence. Searching Google News brings up nothing; searching Google itself brings up two blogs with what we may presume to be very little reach (building up an audience has less to do with quality than it does with packaging, which is why Thomas Friedman is so popular). Quite possibly there will be mentions of all this by tomorrow in at least a few more places - but having spent years working in the media, analyzing the media, and sometimes being covered by the media, it wouldn't surprise me if coverage were relegated to a handful of specialist sites and perhaps Wired (which itself does some of the best and most crucial reporting on such issues as the NSA Utah Data Center only to have its revelations ignored by general outlets in favor of Secret Service prostitution scandals).
Complaints of this sort are often brushed off by journalists with the more "respectable" outlets with the response that everyone has their pet issue that they believe deserves special attention. In this case, such an excuse wouldn't hold water, nor does today being Sunday serve to explain away the complete absence of coverage thus far. Back in early 2010, when the Wikileaks Twitter account put forth a series of messages to the effect that one of its volunteers had been stopped and questioned and that others were being aggressively pursued by agents of the State Department, there was zero coverage of the incident at all. And the claims of state interference weren't exactly dubious; just a few days prior, Wikileaks had released Pentagon documents that proved the U.S. military was already considering how best to disrupt the organization. Back then, Wikileaks just wasn't on the radar of the U.S. media on the whole. Only later in the year would editors collectively agree that Wikileaks was indeed maybe some sort of big deal - soon after which it collectively decided that it was easier and more fun to ask probing questions about whether or not Julian Assange thinks highly of himself than it was to look through the actual documents that were providing to the world. And of course it became not only clear, but abundantly and repeatedly clear, that a number of covert operations were in the works against Wikileaks and individuals close to it. At any rate, they would eventually agree that this strange new transparency group was shaping up to be a major story, but only long after it had become obvious. Its notability having been eventually established even by the American media reckoning, there's no viable excuse on "Sorry, We Don't Agree That's Notable" grounds for that incident to have been entirely ignored. It's just hard to look back at that day and make the case that it didn't represent a massive failure on the part of the media to see a story coming, even when plenty of other observers saw it quite clearly.
There's probably more at play here than simply groupthink. In both the Wikileaks/State Department incident and the incident I'm bitching about this time, the story was only apparent to the extent that one kept an eye on certain Twitter feeds, particular reddit sections, and other relatively newfangled venues of the sort that didn't exist ten years ago and which still have attached to them certain vaguely disreputable, quasi-comical connotations in the minds of countless producers and editors. Meanwhile, more and more stories of the sort that clearly merit coverage can be expected to emanate from these allegedly unconventional nooks and crannies, the info itself having been placed on Scribd or pastebin or some other such thing instead of delivered in a press release or spoken at a podium by some well-paid liar. At some point, those whose profession calls upon them to be aware of what's happening are going to have to learn to contend with how much of those happenings are now happening on online thingamajigs with silly names.
To be fair, some professionals of that sort have indeed learned how much data can be gleaned from well-executed examinations of social networking platforms. Unfortunately, most of them work in the surveillance and intelligence sectors of government agencies and for private contractors, rather than newsrooms, and are engaged in keeping tabs on such parties as the Bradley Manning Support Network.

Media war against Syria: 3 journalists killed by the FSA
During an attack on a local television station on 27 June 2012, an armed opposition group gunned down three Syrian journalists and four guards.
Our colleagues Sami Abu Amin, Mohammad Zeid and Chammah Kohl worked for the Al-Ikhbariya satellite TV channel.
Voltaire Network wholeheartedly shares the grief of the victims’ families.
On 12 June, two journalists from the same channel had already been wounded in Al-Haffah in the governorate of Lattakia, when their car came under fire.
According to the SANA news agency, the assailants booby-trapped the buildings, the studios and newsrooms, and walked off with the technical equipment. The force of the explosion ripped apart an entire building but did not stop the channel from transmitting.
Omran al-Zou’bi, the information minister of the new Syrian government, strongly condemned the attack, which he regards as an extension of the decision taken by the European Union on the previous day to impose sanctions on the Syrian radio and television organization.
In March, the U.S. had entered the Syrian public broadcasting system on their blacklist of individuals and companies targeted by financial sanctions.
For its part, the Arab League has called for the broadcast of Syrian satellite channels to be suspended on Arabsat and Nilesat bouquets.
To preserve the image of the Free "Syrian" Army, the Western media reports have branded the public channel as "pro-regime" as well as an "official" or "pro-government" outlet.
The public French international news channel France 24 has no qualms about claiming that no "independent" media has access to Syria, when - despite the difficulties arising from the military situation - journalists from over 200 international media have been allowed to reenter the country legally since the outbreak of the crisis.
On its website, Reporters Without Borders (RWB) has, at the time of this writing, still not condemned the attack. While recalling that "the media should not be targeted by the warring parties," RSF has nevertheless stated with reference to the Al-Ikhbariya TV channel: "We condemn in the strongest terms the media broadcasting of messages that incite hatred and violence against civilians." RSF has thus appropriated the speech elements aimed to justify the suspension of Syrian TV channels’ signals, while failing to provide evidence to corroborate such accusations.
According to RWB, an NGO funded by the U.S. State Department [1], "The media should not serve as propaganda outlets of any kind", while describing the combat of the FSA as a "pro-democracy uprising."
On its page on Syria, RSF is totally silent on the arbitrary shut down of Syrian channels. It also glosses over the trap laid by the FSA against our colleague from British Channel 4 News so as to discredit the government and the Syrian army [2]. Reporters Without Borders obscures the fact that the FSA militia are briefed to refuse any contact with reporters who have returned legally on Syrian territory.
The pro-war media Blitzkrieg becoming less effective with each passing day, the Western and Gulf governments are reduced to killing and censoring to hide the extent of their responsibility for the crimes currently affecting Syria.

Is dit topic bedoelt om alleen maar nieuwsberichten o.i.d. te posten of ook dat we discussiëren over de rol van de media en de overheid.
Ik bedoel ermee dat allang bekend is dat de overheid de media puur en alleen voor eigen gewin gebruiken en er al jaren geen sprake meer is van echte onafhankelijke media die de overheid het vuur aan de schenen leggen. Eerder halfzachte kritische stukken schrijven om vooral nog een beetje in het gevlei te blijven bij diezelfde overheid.

Ron Paul werd bij de vorige verkiezingen zwart gemaakt en weggezet als racist, heeft te maken met een verhaal in een blaadje waar ze naam onder stond terwijl hij daar helemaal niet actief bij was betrokken.
quote:
quote:Starting with NBC, followed by a slew of other predominantly NY outlets, the press reported a flimsy story–sourced to law enforcement–claiming that DNA found on a chain left at an Occupy-related protest earlier this year matched DNA found at the site of a murder of a Pretty White Woman. Most of the stories didn’t include a caveat until the last paragraphs of the story that there’s no evidence suggesting the DNA belonged to any of the people who left the chain.
. There’s no immediate evidence that the DNA belongs to the protesters who chained open the gates.
And none of them pointed out that the chain of custody suggested by the stories made the evidence useless in a trial (NBC, though, noted that NYPD has a suspect whose DNA doesn’t match any of this).

Ik weet niet of hier al een topic over bestaat, maar ene sabineprogram is bezig met het uploaden van een bijzonder interessante film uit de DPRK.
Tekst bij de film luidt als volgt:
['Propaganda' (95min) - Part 1
Here is the formal statement I gave to Police on 16 June, 2012: On a trip to visit family in Seoul in April, I was approached by a man and a woman who claimed to be North Korean defectors. They requested a meeting the following day to hand over a film that needed to be translated, and I agreed to meet with them. They presented me with a DVD disc that recently came into their possession via the recent arrival of a defector into their group. They asked me to translate the film and "make sure the world saw it" and an agreement was made to protect their identities (and mine). Despite my concerns about what I was viewing when I returned home, I proceeded to translate and post the film on You Tube because of the film's extraordinary content. I have made public my belief that this film was never intended for a domestic audience in the DPRK. Instead, I believe the 'defectors' specifically targeted me because of my reputation as a translator and interpreter. Furthermore, I now believe these people work for the DPRK. The fact that I have continued to translate and post the film in spite of this belief does not make me complicit in their intention to spread their ideology. I chose to keep posting this film because - regardless of who made it - I believe people should see it for the issues it raises, and I stand by my right to keep sharing and discussing this film.]

Ik hoor niets meer in de media over Ron Paul bij de presidentsverkiezingen in de VS. Doet hij niet meer mee? Is zijn positie dusdanig slecht dat men zichzelf de moeite van het vernoemen bespaart? Of is er nog steeds een media-blackout rondom deze politicus?
