"As the pandemic takes hold around the world and the death toll mounts, journalists wring their hands in despair, as if to say, 'How did this happen? How could the people elect someone they knew would butcher public health and be poorly equipped to deal with any kind of emergency?' ...
Could, for example, the Guardian’s publishing 1,215 articles and op-ed pieces accusing the Labour Party of antisemitism, between 2016 and the December 2019 elections, have anything to do with the fact that tens of thousands of people are now dying due to the Tory’s botched mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic? Did Labour’s actions really warrant this treatment? After all, it is the British political party which is behind 100% of all anti-racism legislation in the modern history of the UK. An independent 2016 study revealed that the Labour Party was not overrun by antisemitism, and polls show that antisemitism within the party significantly declined during Corbyn’s leadership."
-->Yes, Labour was defeated in England by false charges of antisemitism. FAIR points out how implicated the Guardian was in these smear tactics. Read about it in FAIR, because you certainly won't find this story in the US media, which has itself often used unsubstantiated claims of antisemitism to destroy progressive candidates.

CounterPunch:
"I am reaching out to you as current official friends and former enemies of Vietnam because I want you to know the truth about what could have been, an alternative and viable path of history that both countries could have trod together for mutual benefit and a more peaceful world.
One milestone that inspired me to write to you at this auspicious moment is the 45th anniversary of the end of what you call the 'Vietnam War' and what the Vietnamese logically know as the American War because it was a war that the US fought on Vietnamese soil.
Tragically, but not surprisingly, based on your history and foreign policy since the late 19th century, you chose the road to war – not once but thrice ..."
-->Read this astonishing letter if you want to understand the Viet Nam War, and American imperialism since that time. Don't bother looking for this letter in the US media, however. The truth about Viet Nam is still being hidden from the American people.

The Guardian UK:
"Nearly 130 parliamentarians, including former Conservative cabinet ministers, have written to Boris Johnson urging him to impose economic sanctions against Israel if Benjamin Netanyahu’s new coalition government goes ahead with its threat to annex parts of the West Bank.
The letter, signed by the former Tory chairman Lord Patten and the former international development secretary Andrew Mitchell, says annexation would be clearly illegal under international law. ...
They argue 'international law is crystal clear. The acquisition of territory through war is prohibited. The Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 is a recent example where Britain quite properly opposed such acts with appropriate measures, including robust sanctions.' "
-->Reading the NYT, one would never realize how many countries are vehemently opposed to Israel's annexation of the West Bank. But our "newspaper of record" always works hard to protect the image of this apartheid state.
