A good example of propaganda
The UN Security Council received a report on the horrific, man-made humanitarian disaster in Yemen the other day.
What did the report say? That depends entirely on which news source you read.
If you live in the U.S. the report was about Iran.
For example, look at the NY Times.
Iran Violated Yemen Arms Embargo, U.N. Experts SayA United Nations panel has concluded that Iran violated an arms embargo imposed on Yemen by failing to prevent the Houthi rebels in that war-ravaged nation from obtaining Iranian missiles, including one fired hundreds of miles into Saudi Arabia two months ago.
The findings, in a report given to the United Nations Security Council this week, could add weight to American and Saudi efforts to ostracize Iran with accusations that the Iranians are engaged in destabilizing behavior in the Middle East.
100% of the NY Times article was about Iran.
The WashPost was slightly more nuanced.
U.N. probe details fallout of proxy war in Yemen between Saudi coalition and Iran
Bad, bad Iran! Giving weapons to people defending themselves against Saudi Arabia.
Now let's look at how Qatar's al-Jazeera covered the report.
A UN report on human rights abuses related to foreign intervention in Yemen details the extensive civilian casualties inflicted by the Saudi-led coalition's air attacks.The United Nations panel examined 10 air attacks in 2017 that killed 157 people, and found that the targets included a migrant boat, a night market, five residential buildings, a motel, a vehicle and government forces, according to a copy of the report shown to Al Jazeera.
... The attacks were carried out by precision-guided munitions, so it is likely these were the intended targets, the report points out."Even if in some cases, the Saudi-led coalition had targeted legitimate military objectives, the panel finds it highly unlikely that the IHL [International Humanitarian Law] principles of proportionality, and precautions in attack were met," the report stated.
The report also cited a "widespread and systematic" pattern of "arbitrary arrests, deprivation of liberty and enforced disappearances". It was particularly scathing about UAE camps, where it says torture has been taking place.
You would never know that this was the same report the NY Times was talking about.
Finally there is London-based Middle East Monitor.
A 79-page undisclosed UN report accuses Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of undermining the Yemen government, the Washington Post reported yesterday.The publication claims that both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have supported armed forces to fragment the authority of the Yemeni government led by the internationally recognised President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi which has bolstered the fragmentation of the country.
Hadi invited the Saudi-led coalition to neutralise territorial threats by the Houthi group and support the legitimate government in unifying Yemen. The United Arab Emirates has since supported the Southern Transitional Council (STC) based in Aden, south Yemen, which holds political goals to secede from northern Yemen. Late last year, the STC inaugurated its national assembly.
Once again, does this look anything like the NY Times article?
Absolutely not.
The report hasn't been made public yet. I'm curious what it says about U.S. involvement, and will the NY Times report that?

The NYT is absolute fiction
and is completely enthralled to Bibi, and whatever comes out of his orifices. There is literally no reason to read that thing.

While none bother to
mention the U.S. leading role in that war. Omitted facts serve as propaganda also. I doubt the U.N. report goes there either.
RE: US role in Yemen.
Excellent overview imo.

A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.

Thanks for the link - it must have been good, since I just got this:
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

We laugh at Russian propaganda. But Hollywood history is just as fake
Russia accuses British of ‘pumping out’ propaganda against them
Wow... that's a whole lot of spin
I do hope I get to read the actual report. It'll be fascinating to see who spun it the most.
A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.
