CounterPunch:
"Why Cuban Doctors Deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. In early 2020, the U.S. government intensified its attempt to delegitimize the Cuban medical mission program. ... U.S. allies in Latin America, such as Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador, expelled the Cuban medical missions. This would become a catastrophic decision for these countries as the COVID-19 pandemic developed across Latin America. ...
Cuban medical workers are risking their health to break the chain of the COVID-19 infection. Cuban scientists developed drugs—such as interferon alpha-2b—to help fight the disease. Now Cuban scientists have announced that their vaccine is in trials; this vaccine will not be treated as private property but will be shared with the peoples of the world. ...
[S]ince the start of Cuban medical internationalism in 1960, over 400,000 medical workers have worked in more than 40 countries. These medical workers believe in the twin missions of medical care and internationalism; it is a lesson that they learned from the teachings of Che Guevara, a doctor and an internationalist. It is a lesson that should be learned in Oslo, Norway, as they adjudicate the Nobel Peace Prize."
-->The NYT covered this story, but it was mostly US propaganda. The newspaper had little to say about how thousands of Cuban doctors have risked their lives to serve Third World countries over the last sixty years.

The Intercept:
"On June 19, hundreds of thousands of documents hacked from 251 FBI and local police websites were leaked in an unprecedented disclosure known as 'BlueLeaks.' Since the BlueLeaks files were exposed, our reporters have been poring through the documents and uncovering one bombshell after another.
The latest stunning revelations include how police exaggerated the supposed threat of 'antifa' to justify escalating violence against protesters. We also uncovered how the FBI chased nonexistent “eco-terrorists” and how police are using debunked junk science on 'lie detection' in crime investigations.
These leaks are an unprecedented exposure of the internal operations of federal, state, and local law enforcement, revealing jaw-dropping incompetence, racism, and disregard for civil liberties by the heavily armed government agencies policing our lives."
-->Silence from the NYT. How is the Intercept able to find these stories and the NYT can't. It may be because the true picture of US mistreatment and punishment of BLM protesters would make the US look bad. As always pro-US propaganda is more important than really reporting the news.

The Jimmy Dore Show:
"Code Pink Has More ___ Than MSNBC!
This happened at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. This is one of those think tanks, that all they do is say bad ____. Hey, let's talk about invading Iran. Let's talk about invading Iraq, and Chad. So that's what these people do, they find bull____ reasons to do these things."
-->This delightful and thoroughly obscene report of Media Benjamin at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, protesting all its warmongering talk, is nowhere to be found in the "respectable media." In fact, the obscenity of US wars abroad never seems to interest our mainstream media. Clear your head of MSNBC's war machine propaganda by taking in a little of The Jimmy Dore Show!
