  1. The Button, the Wall and the Myth of Nations
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2018
    North Korean sanctions, the border wall with Mexico, and the "toxic" role of nationalism with regards to international relations and domestically in the US are discussed.
  2. Degraded Capability
    The Media and the Kosovo Crisis
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2000
    The media played a highly partisan and propagandistic role in Nato’s Kosovo war, uncritically reproducing official spin in a way incompatible with their proclaimed role as objective purveyors of information.
  3. How They Sold the Iraq War
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2018
    The war on Iraq won't be remembered for how it was waged so much as for how it was sold: it was a propaganda war, a war of perception management.
  4. In Middle East Wars It Pays to be Skeptical
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2018
    In the context of Western air strikes on alleged Syrian biological weapons sites on 14 April, 2018, the history of the bombing of the Abu Ghraib baby milk factory in 1991 underscores the need for permanent scepticism towards claims by U.S. and Western governments that they know exactly what is happening on the ground in Syria.
  5. Mainstream Media And The Propaganda Machine
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2009
    Mainstream media, especially the American media plays a vital role in shaping the world public opinion.
  6. The Newsfakers
    Whose hands are behind those dramatic YouTube pictures?
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
    YouTube and blogs have made it easier than ever to fabricate events. The media are happy to run unsubstantiated reports and footage.
  7. Provoking Nuclear War by Media
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2016
    The exoneration of a man accused of the worst of crimes, genocide, made no headlines. Neither the BBC nor CNN covered it. The Guardian allowed a brief commentary. Such a rare official admission was buried or suppressed, understandably. It would explain too much about how the rulers of the world rule.
  8. Russia-Ukraine: Western media are acting as cheerleaders for war
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2022
    Journalists are cheering on the arming of militias and civilians making improvised explosives - acts they usually treat as terrorism
  9. Selective Outrage - Iran And Libya
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
  10. Sick Sophistry: BBC News On Afghan Hospital "Mistakenly" Bombed by United States
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2015
    One of the defining features of the corporate media is that Western crimes are ignored or downplayed. The US bombing of a Médecins Sans Frontières hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, on the night of October 3, 2015, is an archetypal example.
  11. Striving to make sense of the Ukraine war
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2022
  12. 1953 - 2002 - 2016: Syria and the Reemergence of McCarthyism
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2016
    A history of McCarthyism, or red-baiting, in US politics to justify or bolster foreign war efforts, and how the recent Syrian involvement has brought about a revival of McCarthyist discourse and tactics in the political and social realms.
  13. The US Bubble of Pretend
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2022
    The lack of objective, principled coverage of the war in Ukraine is a degenerate state of affairs. The one thing worse is the extent to which it’s perfectly fine with most Americans.
  14. US Isn't Leaving Syria -- but Media Lost It When Possibility Was Raised
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2018
    The US military exists to fight wars. It is the most heavily armed, most violent organization in the world. Saying that it should continue to occupy Syria, and most of the mainstream media do, is a way of saying that the war in that country should continue. In fact, it’s a call for escalation of that war.
  15. US Lies and Excuses for Bombing Hospital
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2015
    Here is the US changing its story for the FOURTH time of why it launched an air strike on the Doctors without Borders hospital in the Afghan town of Kunduz at the weekend, massacring at least 22 patients and hospital staff.
  16. War by media and the triumph of propaganda 
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2014
    The world is facing the prospect of major war, perhaps nuclear war -- with the United States clearly determined to isolate and provoke Russia and eventually China. This truth is being turned upside down and inside out by journalists, including those who promoted the lies that led to the bloodbath in Iraq in 2003. The times we live in are so dangerous and so distorted in public perception that propaganda is no longer, as Edward Bernays called it, an "invisible government". It is the government. It rules directly without fear of contradiction and its principal aim is the conquest of us: our sense of the world, our ability to separate truth from lies.
    Why are young journalists not taught to understand media agendas and to challenge the high claims and low purpose of fake objectivity? And why are they not taught that the essence of so much of what's called the mainstream media is not information, but power?
  17. A War Plan Scuttled?
    Against The Current vol. 133
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2008
    As the Bush era draws to a close, there been increasing speculation on whether or not the United States will attack Iran. Spurred by the posturing and rhetoric coming from the White House and a subservient media, much of that discussion has narrowly focused on Iran potential nuclear threat and the character of the current administrations in Washington and Tehran.
  18. Where War Reporting Goes Wrong
    A Diary of Four Wars
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2013
    The four recent conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria have been propaganda wars in which newspaper, television and radio journalists played a central role. In all wars there is a difference between reported news and what really happened, but during these four campaigns the outside world has been left with misconceptions even about the identity of the victors and the defeated.
  19. Why the Western Media Pushes for War on Russia
    Operation Get Putin
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2015
    Author discusses the reasons why the western 'mainstream' media have sharply increased their campaign against Russia and President Putin.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
