Journalist group warns of censorship of Sochi games

Posted: at 3:41 am

Washington (dpa) - Press coverage of human rights abuses and other issues in Russia ahead of the Sochi Olympics has been stifled by Russian authorities, an international journalism rights group warned Tuesday.

The Committee to Protect Journalists released a report on alleged obstruction by authorities and self-censorship by Russian journalists amid fears of retaliation.

Issues such as the exploitation of migrant workers involved in construction at the Games, corruption, environmental damages and the eviction of local residents have not been covered extensively in Russian news media, CPJ said.

Instead, local media have been censored by Sochi and Russian officials or have chosen to ignore the issues for fear of censorship and other repercussions, the report said.

State media have published propaganda against activists who speak about their concerns, while local human rights advocates had been intimidated for their efforts to publicize violations, CPJ found in the report titled Media Suffer Winter Chill in Coverage of Sochi Olympics.

International journalists had also suffered harassment, but there was an upside in that international coverage had prompted more coverage within Russia, CPJ said.

The group called on the International Olympic Committee to clearly and unequivocally condemn press freedom violations and hold host countries responsible if they fail to uphold international standards of press freedom.

Moscow should repeal laws that limit press freedom; not pass any other such laws; cease media censorship; allow free, independent and unobstructive coverage of Sochi; investigate press freedom violations; cease propaganda against victims of human rights abuses; issue visas to international journalists critical of the Kremlin; and halt the collection of data about journalists including their telephone and internet data, CPJ said.

Olympic corporate sponsors and journalists themselves should also speak out on press freedom issues, it said.

Ron Paul’s year-long "muzzling," Obama on pot, Edward Snowden in Moscow: PolitiFact Oregon Roundup

Posted: at 3:41 am

Were shaking things up todays PolitiFact Oregon Roundup.

How much? Try this New and improved! Bigger and better!

Actually, the change amounts to this: instead of choosing three fact-checks from various sites around the country and summarizing them at some length (along with links to the entire pieces), we are providing synopses of eight stories from PolitiFact Oregon affiliates and other fact-checking sites. Well give readers a brief introduction to each piece and turn them loose to find out for themselves what other fact-checkers have to say.

Its been 41 years since the Supreme Court handed down its landmark Roe vs. Wade ruling and, obviously, the issue of abortion is far from settled. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., defended abortion rights on her website, saying, In 2013, our nation saw yet another record-breaking year of state legislatures passing restrictive legislation barring womens access to abortion services. In fact, in the past three years, the United States has enacted more of these restrictions than in the previous 10 years combined.

PolitiFact National writer Julie Kliegman, after some exhaustive research, rated the claim True. You can read her full analysis here.

Former Texas Congressman Ron Paul was known for many things during his legislative tenure. He was fiery, often combative and never one to withhold an opinion. His last day in the House was Jan. 3, 2013.

On Jan. 14, 2014, the past presidential candidate wrote this in an email blast soliciting contributions to Campaign for Liberty a political group: You may not know this.., the email opened. But for the past year, I was censored. Believe it or not, federal rules governing former members of Congress for their first year after retirement limited my ability to mobilize Americans to advance liberty.

Was he really censored during that entire year? Writer W. Gardner Selbys story ultimately ruled the claim False, but read the reasoning behind the rating here.

President Obama recently waded into the marijuana debate with a personal confession to The New Yorker that he used to get high and that pot is no more dangerous than alcohol. That prompted former Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., to say that the president needs to brush up on his knowledge because marijuana today is much more potent than it was back in Obamas inhaling days.

Writer Steve Contorno found Kennedys claim to be Mostly True. You can read his piece here.

First Read Minute: Obama’s Last Best Chance?

Posted: at 3:41 am

Half of all Millennials ages 25-32 believe that the American dream the ability to lead a middle class lifestyle is disappearing for their generation, according to new research.

MassMutual discloses this finding in its State of the American Family Study, a biennial survey conducted in 2009, 2011 and 2013 for MassMutual by the Forbes Consulting Group, LLC. Conducted last February, the 2013 study comprised 1,337 interviews with American households with children under age 18 for whom they are financially responsible.

The survey reveals that Millennials pessimism about the future is shared by older Baby Boomers: 45 percent of those ages 54-64, also share their belief, an increase of 15 percent over the past two years.

Though Americans both young and old generally hold bearish views on the economy, the definition of the American Dream is in flux. While older respondents hold close to its traditional definitions 78 percent of older Boomers consider home ownership a key component and 80 percent consider financial independence an equally important element younger respondents show notably less engagement with these historic benchmarks for financial achievement, instead focusing on developing a monthly budget, suggesting views around financial satisfaction are undergoing fundamental shifts, according to the study.

"We've found that American families hold similar core values when it comes to their finances, but one of the study's key takeaways is that the emphasis placed on these financial views vary [among] demographic groups," says Mike Fanning, executive vice president, U.S. Insurance Group, MassMutual. "Between generations, ethnicities, and family types, the goals families hold, the confidence they feel, and the financial products and services they use differ in clear and diverse ways."

Additional findings from the survey include:
