Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, claimed during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) that, “We have more material related to the Hillary Clinton campaign.”

Staying true to their word, WikiLeaks, with one simple tweet, dropped another bomb on the Clinton campaign – one so damaging it will almost surely be ignored by the mainstream media.

The latest revelation by the whistleblower organization reveals Hillary Clinton was a director of, and received over $100,000 from, French industrial giant Lafarge, which was recently exposed as secretly sponsoring the Islamic State for profit.

Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Hillary Clinton. Fuck the "mainstream media". Fuck the military industrial complex. Fuck Google. Fuck Facebook.

In an article titled "Five of the best Andre the Giant drinking stories" we are told:

"He also had a mind-boggling tolerance for alcohol and racked up some legendary drinking tales. Here are five of the best"

"While shooting The Princess Bride, Andre the Giant racked up US$40,000 (NZ$57,000)at the bar Hyatt in London, where he was staying"

And "According to some estimates his average daily consumption of alcohol was a case of beer, three bottles of wine, and a couple of bottles of brandy,"

At no point in the article is it pointed out that alcohol consumption like this is deadly and an obvious sign of a serious addiction or psychological illness. The article appears to be glorifying dangerous alcohol consumption.

The leadership of Jeremy Corbyn has been subject to the most savage campaign of falsehood and misrepresentation in some of our most popular media outlets. He has, at different times, been derided, ignored, vilified and condemned. Few journalists attempted to fathom the reason for his overwhelming victory in the Labour leadership contest in 2015 and few have sought systematically and impartially to explore the policies he has promoted as leader. We do not expect journalists to give any elected leader an easy ride but Corbyn has been treated from the start as a problem to be solved rather than as a politician to be taken seriously.

This is political news according to some moron.

This document caused quite a stir when it was discovered in 1977. Dated 4/1/67, and marked "DESTROY WHEN NO LONGER NEEDED", this document is a stunning testimony to how concerned the CIA was over investigations into the Kennedy assassination. Emphasis has been added to facilitate scanning.

CIA Document #1035-960, marked "PSYCH" for presumably Psychological Warfare Operations, in the division "CS", the Clandestine Services, sometimes known as the "dirty tricks" department.

Here in New Zealand it is relatively safe to be a journalist so long as you do not attack the John Key lead National government.

From targeted bombings to fatal crossfire, the year 2015 was violent and deadly for journalists around the world, particularly those based in the Americas and Middle East, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) said Friday.

According to a survey by the organization, at least 109 journalists and media workers were slain by "targeted killings, bomb attacks, and cross-fire incidents."

Just as they did in the wake of 9/11, corporate media outlets—led by cable news networks—are spreading hysteria, fuelling anti-immigrant sentiment, and beating the drum for war by providing “context-free coverage of terror,” as one analyst put it this week.

The 24/7 coverage of Friday’s attacks in Paris and their aftermath, marked by speculation and sensationalism, is only helping the media conglomerates.

According to Deadline: “Fox News Channel and CNN both logged their biggest primetime crowds of the year, excluding presidential debates, when viewers tuned in to learn about the attacks in Paris on Friday that killed at least 129 people and injured hundreds more. The two cable news networks traded hourly wins in the news demo that night.”

The New York Times has been routinely criticized over the last decade for its percieved responsibility in drumming up support for the war in Iraq, particularly Judith Miller’s reporting on weapons of mass destruction. But it’s not as common to hear criticism of the Times’ choice in war photography. Photojournalists put their lives on the line every day, after all, and a photograph is less likely to contain bias, right?
