In the same way that the U.S. warmongering empire is becoming glaringly obvious and self-destructive.<\/p>\n<p>The disconnect with reality and degradation of supposed independent journalism is reflected in record levels of distrust among the Western public toward the mainstream, corporate-controlled news media.<\/p>\n<p>In this interview, U.S.-based writers Bruce Gagnon and Daniel Lazare demolish the pretensions of Western media.<\/p>\n<p>The systematic cover-up of the Nord Stream sabotage by the United States and its NATO allies \u2013 an act of war and state terrorism \u2013 demonstrates the servile function of Western media outlets that claim to be pillars of independent news and freedom of information.<\/p>\n<p>Media outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, and the British state-owned BBC, among many others, have been exposed as pathetic propaganda tools for the United States and other NATO imperialist regimes.<\/p>\n<p>All Western media outlets have ignored credible investigative reporting by Seymour Hersh (and others) who have very plausibly implicated the sabotage of Nord Stream by the U.S., carried out under the instructions of American President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Another touchstone subject is the vile persecution of Julian Assange. Western media have again covered up what are a shocking violation of Assange\u2019s rights and principled publishing through the whistleblower organization Wikileaks. Julian Assange\u2019s only \u201ccrime\u201d is that he revealed the war crimes committed by the U.S. and its imperialist lackeys.<\/p>\n<p>Assange\u2019s appalling mistreatment, indeed torture \u2013 four years in British solitary confinement awaiting extradition to the U.S. over spurious \u201cspying charges\u201d \u2013 is a vicious attack on journalism and the public\u2019s right to know. Yet supposed self-declared Western media defenders of \u201ctruth\u201d and \u201cfact-based\u201d objective information \u2013 have conspired to be silent and permit Assange\u2019s persecution. Western media are shown to be complicit in destroying the very principles of journalism that they claim to uphold.<\/p>\n<p>As Bruce Gagnon and Daniel Lazare point out, it is a crime to tell the truth and Western media stand exposed in their odious dereliction of duty to report independently. They are seen more than ever as out-and-out tools of empire.<\/p>\n<p>A proper understanding of the Nord Stream sabotage and the case of Julian Assange would give the Western public a critical insight into the imperialist nature of their governments \u2013 regimes that serve warmongering capitalist interests. Critical mass must be thwarted at all costs by the Empire\u2019s media foot-servants.<\/p>\n<p>From the point of view of U.S.-led Western imperialist power, it is imperative and absolutely vital to cover up the scandals of the Nord Stream attack and Julian Assange, among others. If the public were to become more widely cognizant then the whole edifice of Western governments implodes. This is why the Western media are more blatant than ever to cover up. But the truth will win out.<\/p>\n<p>The war in Ukraine is becoming more evident as a war-racket and imperialist proxy war against Russia. That war is in desperate danger of spiraling into an all-out world war that could unleash a nuclear catastrophe.<\/p>\n<p>The same Western media cover-up is at work with regard to the U.S.-led NATO aggression toward China. Again, the Western media are spinning imperialist propaganda of alleged Chinese menace in order to justify what is an insane warmongering agenda to confront China and prop up American hegemonic ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>A tantalizing positive prospect is that critical, independent media are gradually and relentlessly breaking the monopoly of Western propaganda media. The internet and global communications are seeing to that \u2013 albeit against sinister censorship by Western regimes.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the establishment Western media are increasingly held in distrust and contempt by the Western public and globally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/strategic-culture.org\/news\/2023\/05\/09\/warmongering-us-empire-crashing-the-lying-western-medias-days-numbered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read More @ Strategic-Culture.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: The Western mainstream media have never been so blatant in their propaganda for the U.S. empire The Western mainstream media have never been so blatant in their propaganda for the U.S. empire.
