Looks like Georgia is having some media issues. It seems that the West Media is turning away from Sassy. I have been watching this develop for sometime and has accelerated since the EU report on the Georgian War: Daniel Kunin, the American advisor, who has been working with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili in recent years, left the head of state."In recent times the advisor has preferred not to interfere in the affairs of the President of Georgia," the VZGLYAD reports citing to the...

While the western media love to criticize nations who openly control the news, they do so in a much more discreet manner.  It is interesting how hypocritical the mainstream media are, completely ignoring their own inadequacies while pointing out those same inadequacies in other branches.  The BBC has just openly removed an important news piece regarding the dumping of Toxic Waste off the coast of the Ivory Coast.   Trafigura and their lawyers Carter Ruck had been pursuing...

Mountain View, California After much debate and fanfare, Google has bent to the will of Media Moguls agreeing to limit content to paid media sites.  It is hard to argue Google's logic but there is a definite flaw in the resolution.    Under the First Click Free programme, publishers can now prevent unrestricted access to subscription websites. Users who click on more than five articles in a day may be routed to payment or registration pages. Source: news.bbc.co.uk   If the media site in... Full Story

Gold has reached new heights, breaking the $1200/ounce barrier, while the mainstream media are all but silent.  This recent jump is being attributed to many things, not least of which is the US Dollar's record low.  The US Dollar is currently trading at 1.51 against the Euro, and falling.  Last week Gold saw a slight dip, primarily for fears of Dubai's growing credit debt.  However, as those fears subsided, gold began to soar once again.  India's hoarding of gold...

With Gold soaring to Record Highs, almost hitting $1150 so far, where is the media?  Why is this not front page news?  Lets assume that there are many more pressing issues, like the unending coverage of the health care reform, Sarah Palin's new book, unemployment (which has also seen very little coverage recently), but shouldn't mainstream media make an effort to inform the people of Gold's record high?  Generally, when records are being broken, this is high priority press, but...

For a few days all you heard was positive about Russia and Iran. The sweet sticky bull came from the Western press and it did nothing but make Russia and Iran realize the folly of America.I then watched a Western press that slid into their old habits, they started to degrade Russia and Iran because Iran was not giving answers fast enough. I watched articles from Big Western Media change their tone. The fact that Iran hesitated on an answer became an issue that Iran was reneging on the deal and... Full Story

Russia Today (a Russian News Agency) found out first hand about freedom of press in America. Russia Today found out that America has no room for criticizing anyone else in the world. The funny thing (not ha ha funny) is that they were told that they were doing nothing wrong...So America can never talk down about Russia anymore for America is now doing what they claim the rest of the world is doing...

You may recall Fox News' faux full-page ad in the Washington Post, New York Post, and Wall Street Journal claiming it was the only outlet to cover the Tea Party protests last weekend, asking "How Did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN Miss This Story?"Of course, none of them missed the protests, all covered it, and thus Fox News clearly lied. While Rick Sanchez took Fox News to task, so did CNN itself, with the following ad that says: "Fox News: Distorting, Not Reporting."Watch... Full Story

It's hard to understand what Fox, or in this case, Faux News had in mind with the full page ad that ran in the Washington Post Friday, as well as in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, both owned by Fox's parent company. The ad falsely claimed that other major media outlets did not cover the 9/12 "tea party" in Washington, D.C. last Saturday.Over photos of protesters, the ad asked: "How Did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN Miss This Story?"Well, they didn't. And the networks mentioned... Full Story

The Western press have gone bananas over a statement that Putin made at the Valdai Discussion Club. I would expect the Russian press to do this but I really expect the main Western press to use reliable sources and not scrounge in the dirt for things...So here I printed the real story... MOSCOW, September 11 (RIA Novosti) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Friday that he and President Dmitry Medvedev would come to an agreement before the 2012 presidential polls and would not...
