PJ Media

Landes certainly realizes the extent and depth of media deceit. Here he has focused sharply to expose a particularly horrid example. The alert reader will note the connections to large international news outlets. Too, there is no dearth of information on AP, Al Reuters, BBC, CBS, and many other literal newscrafters.

Al Dura is unique, seminal and iconic. Once this hoax is exposed and unraveled on the internet –Landes has stood virtually alone for years, doing exactly that–the importance of this travesty will be obvious, and that will have a domino effect.

A similar awareness of deceit is growing in US politics, as the major media are increasingly realized to have used literal censorship to advance the agenda of Pelosi and Reid. Now there are indications the gatekeepers are losing their power to keep the public ignorant.

In sum, the ideologically uniform media elite that deals in lies and censorship is in trouble. The internet is informing millions and raising questions; it will grow more powerful in months to come. This is a battle we can win: we can have accurate reporting and journalistic integrity. If we insist and persist.

Landes, whose work I have followed, is a principled defender of true freedom of the press. He is also imaginative and incredibly tenacious, which is why the gatekeepers must consider him extremely dangerous. I’m glad to see him on PJ Media.
