More proof at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. "This attack on UCC students’ first amendment rights was part of Pokrandt’s crusade to prohibit on campus discussion of the infamous 136-year-old Winchester Dam,...." winchesterdam.com/ucc-presiden...

Student journalists perform important functions, covering stories that often slip by other outlets. Increasingly, however, they are prevented from doing so by overzealous administrators. fair.org/home/trump-e...

@fairmediawatch.bsky.social: Democrats are welcome to go door-to-door to try to interest Democratic voters in policies they see as both pro-rich people, pro-cop, pro-Israel and middle-of-the-road, but recent polls indicate that a majority won’t be interested. fair.org/home/corpora...

Mark your calendar! To celebrate FAIR's 40th anniversary year, we’ll be hosting a casual in-person celebration 6–9 p.m. on September 15, 2026 at Littlefield in Brooklyn, NY! Come kick back, mingle and celebrate 40 years of FAIR’s fearless media activism! www.eventbrite.com/e/fairs-40th...

The breathless CNBC discussions entirely omitted the dubious origins of SpaceX’s gargantuan estimate of its maximum potential revenue—a key investor metric that SpaceX claims is $28.5 trillion, larger than the entire GDP of China. fair.org/home/cnbc-he...

Multiple laws have been interpreted for decades as meaning that our shared, societal goal is to have disabled people live in community, with family, with friends. A new memo from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel now says, “or not.” fair.org/home/mia-ive...

Thanks to @fairmediawatch.bsky.social for suggesting I write about corporate media’s panic over left victories in recent primary elections. Nice to see that bad-faith media narratives about left-wing candidates are losing power. fair.org/home/corpora...

Khamenei wasn’t “killed in war”, WaPo. He was assassinated by the US. 😡 @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

Establishment media dismissed Democratic voters as clueless members of the “far left,” fueled by inexplicable anger at their sober-minded betters. fair.org/home/corpora...

"You can’t introduce somebody’s reading habits, or their library, their bookshelf, as evidence of a specific crime in court," FPF's Seth Stern told @fairmediawatch.bsky.social about Daniel Sanchez Estrada's 30-year sentence for transporting zines.

The New York Times reported that “Israel awoke to a frightening new reality”—one that “seeks to handcuff Israel” by forcing it to withdraw from a country it invaded. fair.org/home/nyt-rep...

The thing that frightens the establishment most about the Democratic Socialists of America is the democratic part.

The height of irresponsibility. Part of the larger phenomenon of "#climate hushing."

"It is the function...of the CIA, with its 50 destabilization programs going around the world today, to keep the world unstable and to propagandize the American people to hate, so we will let the establishment spend any amount of money on arms." --John Stockwell (1937-2026) fair.org/home/john-st...

NYT headline seems to back up Trump’s claim that US & Iran are meeting, but when you read the fine print, it turns out that’s not what’s happening at all. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

We have one more day to meet our $30,000 June fundraising goal, and we still have $10,000 to go! Donations of any amount have an outsized impact on our ability to continue this work. Click the link below to help us meet our goal. 📢💙 www.cambeywest.com/EXT/?f=appea... Thank you!

For establishment papers, regular, working people are something to invoke, not people to actually listen to. fair.org/home/press-s...

From a speech entirely about climate change and its tangible impacts, NBC Nightly News managed to cherrypick a soundbite of Guterres essentially saying nothing more than “it’s hot.” fair.org/home/coverin...

There was never a time to not pay attention, to not understand that an "official enemy" campaign was always going to come for anyone designated undesirable–law, practice, long-held understandings be damned. But if there ever were a time of comfortable ignorance, it’s over. fair.org/home/seth-st...

ICYMI new from me: The science keeps progressing into Long Covid but the propaganda is stuck in 19th century hysteria

There's no question, *except* among some science deniers and media dipshits. When antibodies from long COVID patients are injected into mice, the mice get long COVID. Obviously not psychological, but one wonders if people could get long COVID from a blood transfusion. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

The US launched a war of aggression on Iran that could ultimately cost the American public $1 trillion, and Iran not only survived but demonstrated its ability to close the Strait of Hormuz. The US is, therefore, in no position to determine what Iran “must” or mustn’t do. fair.org/home/the-con...

Climate scientists will recognize this playbook. Controversialize science that isn’t controversial by platforming a small group of “skeptics” who generally have little to no expertise in the subject, in order to delay necessary action at the price of countless lives.

"Don't call for people to be killed" seems a good rule for a social media platform--not because every person's existence is a positive good, but because a site where people are allowed to threaten other people with death will probably be an unhappy place to post. www.popehat.com/p/a-bit-of-t...

National corporate media have created a controversy—”is Long Covid a real medical disease?”—which never existed in any serious form among the experts who research Covid. fair.org/home/media-w...

NEW ARTICLE from me for @fairmediawatch.bsky.social. "Media Won't Stop Psychologizing Long Covid" An overview of this unfortunate propaganda trend in the media since 2020, including where it comes from and what it gets wrong. fair.org/home/media-w...

We rely on you, our audience—and not advertisers, corporations or politicians—to operate our organization. And that’s why the funds we raise go directly to our work. Contribute to our 40th anniversary fundraiser and receive a thank-you gift! www.cambeywest.com/EXT/?f=appea... Thank you.

"Daniel Sanchez Estrada was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record. He did not attend the demonstration. "He was sentenced to 30 years in prison." Sanchez allegedly moved a box of anarchist zines out of his parents' house. 30 years. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

By owning The Washington Post, Bezos gets to shape the news we read. And this leaks into its pro #DataCenter editorials, which omit how Bezos' AWS is one of the leading data center developers. Read our report to learn how #tech oligarchs are capturing media. bit.ly/mediacapturereport

Washington Post editorials defending data centers continue to fail to mention that data centers are key to the paper's owner's business plan. washingtonian.com/2026/06/23/t...

When you truly look at how the media downplays and distorts the governmental murder of a child just imagine how else they might be misleading you on anything else. If you cannot trust them to honestly report such a tragedy, how can they be trusted to be honest about anything else?

THIS is how you write a headline about one of Trump’s claims: @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

Please think hard about reporting that tells you to calm down, that suggests that, just maybe, nothing wrong happened at all. fair.org/home/how-man...

What the heck is happening with AI and the stock market's current infatuation with it? Does it make sense, even on its own terms? And what does it have to do with your life? fair.org/home/dean-ba...

The New York Times' Thomas Edsall assures us that Black voters will save the Democratic Party from socialism. One problem: African Americans view socialism far more positively than whites do. fair.org/home/nyts-ad...

"They've been raising the alarm about these conditions way before corporate media got ahold of the story. Violence had to break out at Delaney Hall before that story rose to the national level. But for many, many months before that, this was a crisis point among immigrants." fair.org/home/weve-be...

Alternative @nytimes.com headline: "A Jewish Democrat's Criticism of Israel May Win Him a NYC House Seat."

"The many violations of press freedom committed by CBS News since its acquisition could soon be seen at CNN, including losing independent journalists asking hard questions and spiking stories about crimes committed by the Trump administration.” - @notaaroncraig.bsky.social via @democracynow.org

"In my 20-plus years of organizing against immigration detention, I couldn't have imagined it getting as bad as we're seeing now, in terms of both the scale of how big it's gotten, and also the violence that's taking place inside." fair.org/home/detenti...

You're invited! 🎉 2026 is FAIR’s 40th anniversary year, and we want to celebrate our longevity with friends old and new! We’ll be hosting a casual in-person celebration from 6–9 p.m. on September 15, 2026 at Littlefield in Brooklyn, NY! Reserve your spot. 🎟️ www.eventbrite.com/e/fairs-40th...

The Atlantic's Jonathan Chait scorns Twitch streamer Hasan Piker for “liken[ing] the leaders of Hezbollah, a terrorist arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, to Nelson Mandela”—whose ANC was on the United States’ “terrorism” watch list from 1988 until 2008. fair.org/home/medias-...

No lead story in any newspaper should begin “Trump touts” or “President says”. 𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 Trump says can be believed without independent proof; 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 he says should be assumed false until proven otherwise. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

"I came up with the idea for FAIR in the mid-1980s...when Reaganism was ushering in an era of dangerous media mergers. Thankfully, FAIR is still around to challenge today’s even worse media conglomeration." fair.org/home/forty-y...

Do this!

Hundreds of people at Delaney Hall have been on hunger strike to protest the conditions they are subjected to as they presumably await adjudication--and reporters seeking to shed light on the situation have been met with pepper spray and rubber bullets. fair.org/counterspin/...

Trump claims the US has snuck 200 ships out of the Gulf. The NYT doesn’t even mention that claim, much less attempt to verify its truth or falseness. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

The eagerness of journalists to do Israel’s bidding is all the more confounding given that Israel is currently the No. 1 killer of journalists in the world. fair.org/home/western...
