How To Make $50 Million a Year While Your Corporation Goes Down the Tubes | The Smirking Chimp

Zaslav came along at a time of establishment confusion over whether the old political center would return after Trump. America’s business establishment hoped it would. But that proved a pipe dream. The division between authoritarianism and democracy is now too deep. If anyone had any doubts, CNN’s disastrous Trump town hall should have erased them.

What seems to have confused Zaslav was the difference between being politically partisan, and standing up against authoritarian demagogues. He assumed that holding Trump accountable for what he did (and continues to do) was inconsistent with so-called “balanced journalism.”

Wrong. It is not partisan to stand up for decency and democracy. That’s where CNN’s audience wanted — and presumably still wants — CNN to be.

Australian Scams, financial scams, Political Scams

$100m Defence contract with KPMG rife with governance failures, review finds – ABC News

A collage of two silhouettes, the KPMG logo, and cutouts of $100 notes.

When some 10 Liberal MPs under Abbott were found either receiving undeclared Rolex’s or raiding their  Government expense accounts they were all let off. Except for Peter Slipper, once Abbott’s bestie, wanted gone. Peter Slipper was the brutal victim of James Ashby in a political, LNP conspiracy of which he was ultimately proven innocent. Accused of claiming a $300 petty cab charge when the others even Abbott took 1000s and were let off unpunished.

KMPG tried has been caught trying it on for $100 million and nobody has been jailed or even made it to the front pages of the News Corp press like Peter Slipper did. These were the LNP’s most favored consultants, the moneymen regarded as more honest than our Public Service, our Treasury when it came to auditing budget figures. Just ask Joe Hockey. They were the perfect political party accountants who got caught with a fist full of Australia’s dollars. But has anyone been jailed? We sat and watched Stuart Robert untouched for slipping backhander contracts to his mates. He was a serial offender regularly caught but never charged.

A Defence data project involving a $100 million contract issued to KPMG is rife with serious governance failures, conflicts of interests and a “lack of accountability”, according to an external review.

CNN erases West Bank and Gaza Strip | The Electronic Intifada

Map excluding West Bank and Gaza Strip

America’s MSM view of the Middle East, in this case CNN leaves Palestinian Gaza and the West Bank out of its picture of the Middle East as if the territories illegally occupied by Israel are legal. While the Golan Heights are shown here as Syrian territory CNN fails to mention Israel’s illegal occupation of it as well. Their’s is a totallt fake view of the region. Meanwhile, the Jewish Diaspora, the majority of Jews living outside of Israel, are fast becoming Anti- The Israel State. Israel may once have has claims to self defence but that fake claim was lost years ago when it became the primo aggressor and occupier in the region.

No such correction has been forthcoming from CNN or GPS, which raises the prospect that CNN’s cartographers do not recognize the reality of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory. Until corrected, the map seemingly portrays just one uninterrupted Israeli apartheid state. This is, of course, the political reality – one that makes more likely the struggle for equal rights in one state rather than Palestinian statehood in disconnected West Bank and Gaza bantustans.

Western Media’s Ethnocentric focus boosts Israel

The Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem was raided last month by Israeli security forces following weeks of simmering tensions between the police, right-wing Israelis, and Palestinian protesters. Despite the timing of the raid — during the holy month of Ramadan — and the significance of the mosque in Islam, U.S. cable news largely ignored the incident in the days following the raid, mentioning it only 12 times in weekday coverage from May 10-14.

Tucker Carlson’s Pathetic Response To CNN Shredding His Racist Insurrection Denial

Keilar mopped the floor Friday with Carlson’s effort to downplay the insurrection at the Capitol as “a political protest that got out of hand” and his attempt to make those who rightly labeled the insurrection as sedition the real villains. She also exposed Carlson’s racism with a devastating comparison of his tolerance for the MAGA violence with his condemnation of Black Lives Matter protests.

The Bottomless Dishonesty of CNN on Palestine and Marc Lamont Hill Firing

Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – CNN has fired contributor Marc Lamont Hill for a speech he gave on Palestinian rights at the UN. The speech can be found here.

You can protest this outrageous firing at this petition site.

And here is a link to his book, Nobody: Casualties of America’s War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond, which everyone should buy and read.

CNN would have been under special pressure to fire Hill because he is a prominent African-American intellectual with a following in his own community, and the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs (the propaganda arm of the Likud government) is worried about the boycott and sanctions movement spreading among American minorities who might sympathize with the oppressed Palestinians.
