Sudan: A savage war and toxic information battle

A year into the civil war in Sudan, the humanitarian costs have been staggering - but the news coverage has been minimal.A conflict on this scale should top the news agenda but it has been relegated to the back pages – in part – because of what is happening in Gaza and Ukraine. And it is increasingly difficult to deny that the lack of media interest in this war comes down to where it is being fought and how it is understood.Contributors:Hager Ali – Research fellow, German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA)Kholood Khair – Founding director, Confluence AdvisoryMatthew Benson – Sudan research director, London School of EconomicsYassmin Abdel-Magied – Editor, Eyes on SudanOn our radar:Silencing the voices of dissent at United States universities over Israel and Gaza.

The cracks are deepening in the US-Israel alliance

Six months into Israel’s devastating war on Gaza, the United Nations Security Council has finally passed a resolution demanding a ceasefire. The United States’s abstention marks a pivotal moment in Israel’s increasing international isolation.In the Israeli media, the opposition to the UN vote is near-unanimous and unsurprising. More striking is the lack of interest from American news outlets. The implications this story raises are perhaps a little uncomfortable for them - they hit too close to home.Contributors:Ramzy Baroud - Editor, The Palestine ChronicleArdi Imseis - Former UNRWA officialDaniel Levy - President, US-Middle East ProjectSarah Leah Whitson - Executive Director, DAWNOn our radar:A New York Times piece has revealed more information about the mass surveillance Israel has deployed on Palestinians in Gaza.

India's elections are coming up...are the media up to the task? | The India Report

With India amid a national election campaign, its news media is in sharp focus. Until recently it was believed that the sheer diversity of outlets ensured a range of perspectives, but now, India’s mainstream media has largely been co-opted by the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The crackdown on India’s political opposition

Elections are weeks away in India and opposition parties are attempting to take on the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is seeking a third consecutive term.The opposition claims that Modi’s success rate has very little to do with his governance – but more because scores of his political rivals have been arrested or charged on questionable grounds. They say it has kneecapped the opposition and gamed the political arena in favour of the governing party.In this episode of The India Report, Sreenivasan Jain examines whether these actions are – as the Prime Minister claims – part of his crusade against high-level corruption, or an unprecedented campaign against of the opposition which is deeply dangerous to India’s democracy.Featuring:Derek O’Brien - Member of Indian ParliamentAdish Aggarwala - President, Supreme Court Bar AssociationAnjali Bhardwaj - Founder, Satark Nagrik SangathanPriyanka Kakkar - Chief Spokesperson, AAPMaya Tudor - Professor, Blavatnik School of Government

I ve been to the listening post media critic on Venezuela Libya & Iraq refreshing in its critic of the corporate/msm story line. On Ukraine not so suggest you have Col Lawrence Wilkerson Or Andrew Basavich or Scott McGregor huge overreach by dying empire to benefit defense contractors but u never hear Russiagater Rachel Maddow etc, on Covid you assume on new vaccine method that all qualified scientists are or the same opinion. Not just Malone Harvey Risch Yale falculty & numerous others. If your going to admonish Rogan why not RFK jr and the doctors sited in his book the real Anthony Fauci and Gary Null has had numerous provaccine md & PhD s critical of aspects of the government reponce. You could critic Ralph Nader for his criticism of the vaccine court system. Most recent episode you claimed YouTube is a voice for freedom ask award winning journalists like Chris hedges Max Blumenthal Matt Taibbi & Abby Martin about deplatforming unfavorable changes to search algorithms
