Not everything I learned from Newsbud, which isn’t all from the mind of Sibel Edmonds, was garbage. She made good points about Glenn Greenwald, in my view But now I am thinking that when he insulted her, it was deserved. I only ever heard her side of it. I still think that I do not have the whole picture, but I do think that I don’t need to see any more. I’ve always liked Glenn’s reportage. But I can NEVER get behind an organization run by a billionaire who helped fund the MURDEROUS (if that actually matters) Nazi regime in Ukraine. Those who continue to work for Pierre Omidyar, as much as I don’t want to, I must distrust. Indeed, The Intercept’s true soul began to show – in similar fashion to Newsbud – when Murtaza wrote a pro-USAID, pro-White Helmets piece. And smarter folks than myself have issues with that org. Elizabeth Vos, Mark Ames, Paul Carr, Ken Silverstein are some examples.

This article could have been more balanced. I too blogged about the destruction (which, even if FOX or some other sugar daddy picks it up, it has undergone, from one standpoint) of Newsbud after it was clear that it had self-destructed, which James Corbett helped it to be. So, I am not defending Sibel. But it was hard to see her go bananas like that. I really liked Newsbud, except for the huge money focus.

Others have voiced this question and I keep wondering, ‘Who is Sibel Edmonds working for?’ Perhaps we will never know.

You obviously have a talent for movie reviews based on this exploration of Edmonds’ recently videographed hissy-fit , but I hope you’re not tempted to take it up as a vocation , or even an avocation , as your other work is much more important. Still , bravo for this one !

Sibel Edmonds and NewsBud seek to protect and apologize for MSM journalists who continually lie in support of the dirty war on Syria, making them ALL complicit in terrorism. Their “fair and balanced” reporting is a smokescreen to conceal the lies. What really counts is EVIDENCE. Bias is not only desirable but necessary if that is where the best evidence points.

Congratulations to Mike Raddie for an excellent article. (Howard Zinn and Molly Ivins in one article!)

Sibel Edmonds aka Newsbud thought she could discredit & undermine the incredibly honest ‘on the ground ‘reporting by 2 courageous independent journalists who are relaying the voices of the Syrian people screaming out to be heard above the lies and propaganda narrative of western mainstream media, by western governments and even most UNSC members.
At a time when all alternative media outlets should be uniting against the imperialistic hegemony of the west, Israel and Gulf States, here we witness, what I can only describe as ‘professional jealousy ‘ from Sibel Edmonds who truly seems to have turned to the ‘dark side’ or possibly compromised by someone who’s backing Newsbud financially. That’s my opinion, but whatever is fuelling this smear campaign by her on Vanessa Beeley & Eva Bartlett what she lacks in understanding is the tremendous support from our family, yes family of truth seekers and anti war supporters who stand by Vanessa and Eva, not because we are blinkered by their reports, but by our own ethical morals of human decency and reasoning between right and wrong, and Sibel, you are WRONG!
