A New York Diary: The Crushing of Fallujah I am reading William Shirer's Berlin Diary, a journalist's account of Nazi political propaganda during the 1930's, as I watch the US 'news' reports of the violent assault on Fallujah. The US mass media 'reports', the style, content and especially the language echo their Nazi predecessor of 70 years ago to an uncanny degree. Coincidence? Of course! In both instances we have imperialist armies conquering countries, leveling cities and slaughtering civilians--and the mass media, private in form,...

An Open Letter to Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Alawi Mr. Alawi, I once heard an Iraqi woman protest your being the appropriate leader of Iraq. Her explanation was that you have been in the US for the last twenty-five years. She said that you did not live as an Iraqi, and hence you do not know the pains or the needs of the Iraqi people. As I heard her speak, I thought that maybe she was exaggerating. After all, you do have Iraqi blood in your veins and blood is thicker than water, isn’t it?...

A Voluntary Tic in Media Coverage of Iraq When misleading buzzwords become part of the media landscape, they slant news coverage and skew public perceptions. That's the story with the phrase "Iraqi forces" -- now in routine use by U.S. media outlets, including the country's most influential newspapers.
The New York Times and the Washington Post have been leading the way in news stories that apply the indigenous "Iraqi forces" label to Iraqi fighters who are pro-U.S.-occupation ... but not to Iraqi fighters who ...
