Mondoweiss:
"GOP lawmakers are using recent attacks on Jews as an excuse to push anti-BDS, pro-Israel curriculum in public schools.
On January 9, Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) introduced H. Res. 782. The legislation, which is cosponsored by Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and David Kustoff (R-TN), would encourage 'public schools to design and teach a curriculum about the history of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, and the vital and historic importance of the Jewish State of Israel.' The bill also cites the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which it claims is spreading 'rampant anti-Semitism' across college campuses."
-->It may soon be illegal to criticize apartheid Israel, but the NYT has no stomach for stories about the new McCarthyism in the nation's schools and colleges. It didn't cover this impending legislation.

FAIR:
"For Western Press, the Only Coup in Venezuela Is Against Guaidó. The international corporate media have entered crisis mode following the replacement of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó as head of the country’s National Assembly.
In headline after headline, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro 'Takes Over' (NBC, 1/6/20), 'Claims Control of' (New York Times, 1/5/20; CNBC, 1/6/20) or 'Seizes' (Reuters, 1/5/20; NPR, 1/6/20) parliament, and 'Ousts' Guaidó (Wall Street Journal, 1/5/20) in the process."
-->There is no Fourth Estate when it comes to reporting about foreign leaders the US is trying to overthrow. The mainstream media is as single minded about delivering Pentagon propaganda as they were in the 1950s. The empire's news has always been fake.

The Guardian UK:
"A group of US environmental activists engaged in non-violent civil disobedience targeting the oil industry have been listed in internal Department of Homeland Security documents as 'extremists' and some of its members listed alongside white nationalists and mass killers, documents obtained by the Guardian reveal. ...
The document also listed two of the [environmental] group’s members alongside violent white supremacists and other extremists who have engaged in mass killings, including the man behind the racist 2015 slaying of nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina."
-->Strange to say, the NYT reported a story about British Police doing pretty much the same thing in a story entitled, "British Police Said Watch Out for Extremists — Like Climate Activists." No mention that the US Department of Homeland Security had vilified environmentalists much more extensively.
