@scotfi1.bsky.socialReposted by @medialens.orgCan't possibly provide a vehicle for anyone even slightly left of centre. A message like that would upset the whole apple cart of the right wing owned media, the oligarchs, the bankers and the lobbyists.
@medialens.orgAn interview with the superb Peter Oborne in occupied east Jerusalem:
@medialens.orgBBC: Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi 'said that Moscow's overall losses in the war were six times higher than Ukraine's. "If you count only dead, then it's up to 11 times," he added.'

Richard Sanders interviews Hasan Piker:
@medialens.orgImportant analysis by Jonathan Cook:
'It’s extremely difficult for leftwing politicians to advance through the discourse policing of a state and billionaire-owned media whose very job is to prevent the political left from gaining exposure for its ideas...'
@jacobinmag.bsky.socialReposted by @medialens.orgThere has been a virulent backlash in the British media against the Green Party since its conference voted to brand Zionism as a racist ideology. Nobody has seen fit to ask any Palestinians what they think about Zionism and what it has meant for them.
@medialens.orgWhat does it say about the new PM that climate barely merited a mention in an hour-long speech on the UK's future?
And what does it say about the ‘mainstream’ media that he was not lambasted for ignoring the severity of the threat hanging over all of us?
@medialens.orgThanks Jack. It's explained in the alert. The Gulf Stream is the most well-known component of the AMOC. But it's only one part of it. The AMOC is the complete 'conveyor belt' for the whole Atlantic, including the crucial sinking of dense water at high northern latitudes.
@medialens.orgOur latest media alert is out now:
'Has Andy Burnham Ever Heard Of The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation?'
If we continue on a high-emission path there is a 70 per cent risk of the AMOC shutting down. The consequences would be catastrophic.
@medialens.orgIn June, we had the pleasure of chatting with Peter Oborne on Zoom about an article he was planning to write to mark our 25th anniversary.
@openpolicy.bsky.socialReposted by @medialens.orgMedia Lens is quite extraordinary, and I wish we had an equivalent here in Aotearoa, to document, analyse and critique the media here.

@medialens.orgBBC News is one of the world’s ‘most trusted’ news organisations, boasting ‘impartial’ reporting supposedly free of state interference.
It is therefore a complete mystery why BBC News is shielding the British public from crucial facts and awkward questions:

@medialens.orgThe BBC really are so brazen. This front-page headline should read:

@medialens.orgAgreed, Brian, people do have that right. Brian Eno: 'There's no obligation on anybody... as far as I'm concerned.' Great comments here:

@medialens.orgFormer BBC journo Martin Asser:
'I remember in mid-2000s being handed Media Lens emails by my editor at BBC Middle East Online desk to draft the responses. They were hardest (usually impossible) to argue against compared with the pro-war pro-Israel stuff flooding our inbox.' x.com/martasser/st...
