China takes direct aim at rumormongering US media – Global Times

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Diao Daming, a US studies expert at Renmin University of China in Beijing, told the Global Times that the reason why the five media outlets are listed is simple: “ideological bias against China, cooking up fake news under the disguise of press freedom, and breaches of journalism ethics,” and these five media outlets have shown all these tendencies in covering China story.  

The impact on the five US media is obvious, Diao said. “If they can’t report news about China based on facts, then their reports should be reduced and even banned, as they have lost qualifications to report China to the English-speaking world.”

Asked if the US government would escalate the confrontations against China, Diao noted that “based on current US actions against Chinese journalists, and some extreme insults and stigmatizations made by US senior politicians against China, it showed that the US government is losing basic rationality, and we can’t use normal logic to predict the US anymore.”

The D.C. Media Blob and the Trade Group Speaking Circuit

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

A review of several trade group meetings occurring over the next three months finds representatives of NBC News, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, Showtime, and USA Today among the speakers. The groups include top lobbyists for the health insurance, banking, hospital, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. This has become an alternative source of revenue, one that’s never disclosed when media members subsequently talk about the issues that are the primary concern of the lobbying group that just paid them.

As Usual, Western Media Grossly Distort Syria’s Conflict

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Two significant events happened this week, both of which were largely ignored by Western media, which gives an indication of their duplicitous political agenda.

The Syrian army routed the terror groups from dozens of villages and towns in Aleppo countryside. What then followed were huge celebrations by civilians in Aleppo city because the terrorists would no longer be able to launch deadly rocket and mortar attacks on residents. It was these attacks over the past year in violation of countless ceasefire attempts by the government in Damascus that finally prompted the offensive by the Syrian army to eliminate the terrorist remnants.

The second significant event was the reopening of Aleppo international airport to flights. The airport was not able to operate despite the city having been fully liberated at the end of 2016 by the Syrian army and its Russian ally. The relentless shelling by terror groups from the surrounding countryside meant that Syria’s second city had to keep its airport closed for the past three years (in addition to the five years before liberation). As a result of finally clearing Aleppo province of militants this week, the city’s airport is now open for business. Life is returning to some normality.
