In Le Devoir today, Brian Myles praises journalism without the slightest hint of self-criticism.

He mentions Evan Gershkovich imprisoned in Russia and Niloufar Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi imprisoned in Iran.

But not a word about Julian Assange in Belmarsh prison or Edward Snowden exiled in Russia.

Not a word about the blocking of RT or Sputnik in America, or the future blocking of Tik Tok.

Not a word about the NYT’s gross journalistic blunders « debunked » by Mondoweiss, The Grayzone and The Electronic Intifada.

Not a word about the fact that this debunking has given rise to tensions within the NYT itself, as revealed by The Intercept.

Not a word about the prohibitions imposed by NYT management on its employees not to use expressions such as « genocide », « ethnic cleansing » and « territorial occupation ».

Not a word about the subordination of CNN and MSNBC to the Democrats and of FOX News to the Republicans.

Not a word about journalists on the right or left who criticize U.S. foreign policy and are fired precisely because of the positions they take. Not a word about:

Mark Lamont Hill fired from CNN

Mehdi Hasan fired from MSNBC

Tucker Carlson fired from Fox TV

Candace Owens fired from The Daily Wire

Chris Hedges fired from Real News Network.

Not a word about the corruption of American journalists at the annual banquet where they applaud Genocide Joe.

Not a word about the power of the Western oligarchs who own most of the news media.

Of course, there’s not a word about the Russiagate or Twitter Files scandals, which highlight the collusion of American journalism with power.
