Common Dreams:
"'Gross Abuse' of Power, Says International Election Observer About Trump Lies of US Voter Fraud. Baseless allegations of systematic deficiencies, notably by the incumbent president, including on election night, harm public trust in democratic institutions,' the delegation concluded. ...
Trump's effort to stop the count 'is something that does need to be described as breaking a taboo,' the election observer told rbb [German public broadcaster]. 'He has neither the right nor the possibility to do this. Responsibility for the count lies exclusively with states.'
The observation mission carried out by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) involved 102 observers from 39 countries—50 experts and observers deployed by ODIHR and 52 parliamentarians and staff from the OSCE PA."
-->The NYT doesn't like it when international observers tell it like it is in our faux democracy. Our supposed "newspaper of record" omitted this story.

"Under cover of US elections, Israel wipes entire Palestinian community off the map. Israeli forces demolished the entire Bedouin community of Khirbet Humsah in the northern Jordan Valley, leaving 41 Palestinian children homeless just as winter storms spread through the West Bank. ...
At around 11am on Tuesday morning, the residents of Khirbet Husna were shocked to see a caravan of Israeli military jeeps, accompanied by a number of bulldozers and excavators, heading down the dirt pathway to their village. ...
After what felt like mere seconds, as Abu Awwad and her husband tried to empty their home of all the belongings they could, the Israeli bulldozers began demolishing everything around them, as what she described as hundreds of soldiers and Civil Administration workers surrounded them. 'They didn’t leave anything untouched,' Abu Awwad said. 'Our homes, our livestock pens, our bathrooms, our water tanks, solar panels, everything. They destroyed everything.' ”
--NPR reported on this story, but in its typically "balanced" reporting, with lots of explanation by Israeli authorities. But the "progressive" NYT didn't cover the story at all.

"'Every. Single. One.': Ocasio-Cortez Notes Every Democrat Who Backed Medicare for All Won Reelection in 2020. The same cannot be said for those more centrist lawmakers who continue to defend the nation's increasingly unpopular for-profit healthcare system.
The tweet emerged as many across the corporate media landscape, including pundits and former high-level Democratic officials like Rahm Emanuel, unabashedly pushed a narrative that progressives calling for policies like a single-payer universal healthcare system or the Green New Deal are somehow a hindrance to electoral success. ...
As Common Dreams reported Friday, while corporate-friendly Democrats have continued to go to bat for the for-profit healthcare system that lavishes billions of dollars each year on insurance companies, for-profit hospitals, and pharmaceutical giants, a new poll this week—put out by Fox News no less—shows that 72% of all U.S. voters would prefer a 'government-run healthcare plan.' "
-->The NYT, ever friendly with the corporate controlled wing of the Democratic Party, made a one sentence mention of AOC's statement, but did not show how universal healthcare is the preferred choice of 72% of all US voters. Why can't we have universal healthcare? Because of publications like the NYT.
