You would have thought that people would have learned a lesson from media complicity in the US aggression in Iraq. International law (ICCPR Art. 20(1)) explicitly requires the prohibition of “any propaganda for war.” The UN Human Rights Committee has clarified that this includes “all forms of propaganda threatening or resulting in an act of aggression or breach of the peace contrary to the UN Charter.” As the US conspires with the Israeli regime to attack Iran in yet another unlawful act of aggression, US and Western media corporations are saturating the press and airwaves with lies, distortions, militarism, jingoism, and blatant propaganda for war. Many of these same companies have openly disseminated Israel regime propaganda and perpetrated prohibited acts of incitement to and complicity in genocide in Palestine. This is not a free press. This is the purveying of poison for profit.
