We Can Defeat The Corporate Media’s War On Independent Journalism
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
I wanted to use this opportunity to talk about my experiences over the past two decades working with new technology as an independent freelance journalist, one who abandoned – or maybe more accurately, was abandoned by – what we usually call the “mainstream” media. Looking back over that period, I have come to appreciate that I was among the first generation of journalists to break free of the corporate media – in my case, the Guardian – and ride this wave of new technology. In doing so, we liberated ourselves from the narrow editorial restrictions such media imposes on us as jour...

*Caleb Larson* *History, Americas* Unfortunately, it entered service too late in World War II to play a significant role. The P-61’s origins begin with the British, who submitted a design request to the United States for a powerful night fighter that would have a high service ceiling, long eight-hour plus loiter time, as well as a powerful climb capability. The result of that design request was the P-61 Widow, an unusual twin-engine airplane that holds the distinction of being the first American warplane designed from the outset as a night fighter, and the first fighter to be eq...

It risks misleading people about the true nature of the threat posed by the GOP’s ongoing radicalization. Obviously fear of attacks from Trump — or from right-wing media or primary challengers — is one motivator. But by itself, this simply won’t do: It implies that Republicans would prefer on principle to stand firm in defense of democracy but are not doing so simply out of ...
