PC police out in Hollywood?

Posted: September 1, 2014 at 3:43 am

LOS ANGELES Hollywood may be the international hub of creativity and artistic expression, but more and more its being slammed on social media for the crime of being politically incorrect.

Over the past week, a slew of stars have been hammered for their offensive words and actions. Even Robin Williams came under fire during the Emmys telecast Monday night when decades-old footage of the late actor-comedian was shown during a tribute presented by Billy Crystal.

Williams, a beloved and universally respected industry figure whose recent suicide stunned millions of fans, was portrayed making an impromptu hijab out of a scarf and saying: Welcome to Iran help me.

Cue the backlash. I just think Robin Williams was kind of racist. Thanks Emmys, one tweeted. Another wrote, they could have shown so many funny Robin Williams moments during that tribute did they have to use something so racist?

Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture at the Media Research Center, says the criticism is a case of political correctness run amok. America has always believed in free speech, Gainor said. But watching careers end or having nuts call Robin Williams racist over a joke is going too far.

More actors and actresses will be blacklisted. Twitter will ruin careers.

In another Emmys incident, Sofia Vergara was forced to defend herself for participating in a skit some viewers said was sexist. The Modern Family star preened and fussed over her designer dress while the TV Academys chairman, Bruce Rosenblum, praised the organizations community and educational endeavors.

Bruce Rosenblum objectified Sophia Vergara on live #Emmys, scores of Twitter users wrote. Even Katie Couric posed the question, Did anyone find that shtick somewhat offensive? Others denounced it as an obvious exploitation of women.

Also this week, BET suspended a producer for writing a joke, I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my hair, referring to Beyonce and Jay-Zs daughter Blue Ivy, who appeared on stage with her parents at the VMAs on Sunday. Stephen Hill, BETs president of music programming and specials, promptly apologized via Twitter.

Social media users have also been condemning Taylor Swifts new music video Shake it Off, saying it perpetuates racist stereotypes. The video shows Swift frolicking with a number of different dancers, from ballerinas to cheerleaders and b-boys. At one point she crawls under the twerking behinds of hip-hop dancers several of whom are black and laughs in amazement.

Orchestrated censorship of Native news powerless to halt defenders

Posted: at 3:43 am

The censorship of American Indian news in the United States is no accident. It is carefully orchestrated by acts of deception, distortion and omission. The bottom line is dollars, as revealed by following the money to the corporate core of the censors and contract spies in the media.

Regardless of the censorship, Native Americans continue to block fracking trucks and megaloads, continue to organize the fight against the Keystone XL pipeline and continue to defend the sacred.

Lakota Joye Braun was arrested on Wednesday as she attempted to block fracking trucks on Cheyenne River Sioux land in South Dakota. Regardless of a tribal law that prohibits the trucks, Braun spent the night in jail.

The struggle to protect the sacred continues in Arizona, where Akimel Oodham of Gila River Indian Community protested the planned South Mountain Loop 202 south of Phoenix.

"Gila River has said no three times. As recently as 2012 the Gila River Indian Community voted for the No Build option because Moadak (South Mountain) is a sacred site, said Andrew Pedro of Sacaton. No means No.

In Mexico during August, the Zapatistas in the stronghold of La Realidad, Chiapas, hosted the National Indigenous Congress.

SubGaleano, formerly known as Marcos, spoke at the concluding press conference, honoring those who have died since the struggle for dignity and autonomy began. During the gathering, SubGaleano and the Comandantes also sent a message of support to Palestine.

Growing censorship in Lithuania

Posted: at 3:43 am

Aug 25, 2014 By Kestutis Girnius, VILNIUS

In the next issue of TBT, political commentator Kestutis Girnius evaluates trends in Lithuanian media, trends that he considers to be very worrying. Heres an early glimpse of what he writes:

On the road to censorship?

Reacting to Moscows propaganda campaign, Lithuania has launched an aggressive counterattack. But he warns that The eager warriors of the information war have already harmed the quality of Lithuanian journalism

Lithuanias president Dalia Grybauskaite is playing a major role in the campaign, more than once urging Lithuanian journalists to step up to defend Lithuanias interest and unmask Russian deception. Her own actions have ranged from silly comments to a disquieting tendency to emulate the Kremlins spin-masters.

Another excerpt: A leading Internet portal has published an article of the Ukrainian news agency UNIAN claiming that the 2010 crash of the plane carrying Polish president Lech Kaczynski to Katyn was not an accident but a planned terrorist attack

Although the story about Kaczynski is a particularly egregious case of malicious misinformation, the Lithuanian media is publishing many questionable, poorly sourced stories.

Girnius warns that: Calls for censorship are gaining momentum. Plans are in the offing to ban Russian television channels from Lithuanian cable networks More ominously, the Ministry of Culture is sponsoring a working group that will reviews laws and regulation to ensure the right of citizens to objective information and ensure all age groups of safe, unharmful content.

A worrying trend, indeed. Get Girnius full analysis in the next print edition of The Baltic Times, or read it online on Sept. 4.
