I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]

In some pretty astounding news, Haaretz and Arutz 7 are reporting that the United Nation’s International Atomic Energy Agency under Director General Mohamed ElBaradei has been making considerable efforts to hide damning data which shows Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons.
Haaretz reports that:
senior Western diplomats and Israeli officials… said that the International Atomic Energy Agency under Director General Mohamed ElBaradei was refraining from publishing evidence obtained by its inspectors over the past few months that indicate Iran was pursuing information about weaponization efforts and a military nuclear program…
The classified report, according to the sources, was not incorporated into the agency’s published reports. The details, they said, were censored by senior officials of the IAEA in the organization’s Vienna headquarters.
American, French, British and German senior officials have recently pressured ElBaradei to publish the information next month in a report due to be released at the organization’s general conference.
“We expect the details to appear in the new report and to be made public,” a senior Western diplomat told Haaretz.
Arutz 7 writes:
IAEA director-general Mohamed ElBaredei denies that Iran is developing nuclear weaponry. However, the latest IAEA report stated that Iran has made it difficult for inspectors to verify Iran’s non-military use of nuclear energy. “At the end of 2008, there remained a number of outstanding issues that need to be clarified since they give rise to concern about possible military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear program,” the July 28 report stated.
