Western Media’s Peculiar Incuriosity About Nord Stream by Jonathan Cook, Consortium News.
Wow. Damned good article. Scathing. Excellent bit at the end:
The Western media are not there to help the public monitor the centers of power, keep our governments honest and transparent, or bring to book those who commit state crimes. They are there to keep us ignorant and willing accomplices when such crimes are seen as advancing on the global stage the interests of Western elites – including the very transnational corporations that run our media.
Which is precisely why the Nord Stream blasts took place. The Biden administration knew not only that its allies would be too fearful to expose its unprecedented act of industrial and environmental terrorism but that the media would dutifully line up behind their national governments in turning a blind eye.
Fun fact: if they can keep Biden believably alive one day past the half-way mark of a term, then we can get the fucking cop as president for two-and-a-half terms (10 years).
