Menwith Menace: Britain’s Complicity In Saudi Arabia’s Terror Campaign Against Yemen
The ‘mainstream’ Western media is, almost by definition, the last place to consult for honest reporting of Western crimes. Consider the appalling case of Yemen which is consumed by war and an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe.

‘Propagandising For War’ – Gareth Porter Responds To The BBC Today Programme On Syria
A report published by the London School of Economics last month found extreme levels of bias in BBC reporting.

In the time period studied (September 1 – November 1, 2015), no headlines on this key news programme presented […]
Where are the Child Victims of the West?
It has been almost a year since the contorted body of little Alan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach, oblivious in death to the fact that he was to become the key pawn in a global media campaign seeking to cement public opinion in favor of intervention in Syria.
