Brothers-in-Arms: Capitalism and Corporate Journalism

Media Lens | 16-06-2010 17:52 | Analysis | Globalisation | Other Press | Sheffield

Medialens | 12-06-2010 11:06 | University Occupations for Gaza | Other Press | Palestine | Sheffield | World

As discussed in Part 1,  http://sheffield.indymedia.org.uk/2010/06/453210.html media coverage of the non-violent Iranian capture of 15 British sailors (in Iranian waters) focused on the humiliating failure of the sailors to open fire in self-defence.

Headshot - Propaganda, State Religion and the Attack on the Gaza Peace Flotilla - Part 1

MediaLens | 09-06-2010 12:19 | Flotilla to Gaza | Other Press | Palestine | Sheffield | World

The most potent propaganda relies on language loaded with hidden implications. In a recent speech, journalist Robert Fisk noted:

“When we westerners find that ‘our’ enemies - al-Qaeda, for example, or the Taliban - have set off more bombs and staged more attacks than usual, we call it ‘a spike in violence’. Ah yes, a ‘spike’!

“A ‘spike’ in violence, ladies and gentlemen is a word first used, according to my files, by a brigadier general in the Baghdad Green Zone in 2004. Yet now we use that phrase, we extemporise on it, we relay it on the air as our phrase.”
