NEWSWEEK and the CIA -- they never cared too much about accuracy

Did you catch HBO?


I'm just enraged.  I don't like liars.  I don't know why anyone has to lie about the public record to begin with.  Ava and I will be addressing the garbage that was HBO's Bee Gees' 'documentary.'  Barry Gibb wasn't truthful but maybe his memory's shot?  I don't know.


I don't like liars.  And that 'documentary' is nothing but lies.


And penises.  Let's be clear.  No female artist -- except Lulu who is only on as an ex-wife -- is featured.  But we get the ramblings of past his prime Justin Timeberfool?  He's not high, he insists.  We're all supposed to giggle over that?  To pretend it's funny or insightful?  To pretend he's pertinent to anything other than how a White man can steal Michael Jackson's act but not his art?  Because, let's face it, there's no art to Justin.  


This was garbage and I asked Ava, "Did anyone praise this s**t?"  Yeah, they did.  So we're going to be stuck reviewing it because if we don't use our voice, then the record reflects that lies and garbage are a-okay.


Here's a thought for you stupid people writing praise about this bad documentary: Learn some facts.  You're too stupid to review something you know nothing about.  Time and again, we (Ava and I) are asked, "Why didn't you review this, why didn't you review that?  It's important."  And probably over our heads.  We're not scientists.  We venture into areas we don't know with great trepidation and tremendous leaning on friends to walk us through subjects we don't know.


Years ago, NEWSWEEK (gutter rag) decided it wanted to write about TV and how TV was 'sexing up' and dealing with themes that were 'risque.'  They published their garbage piece and when I personally pointed out to a NEWSWEEK editor their most glaring error in the article, I was told, "It doesn't matter because it's about TV.  It's not important."


If it's important to write about, it's important enough to get it right.


If you're wondering about the glaring error, NEWSWEEK included the FRIENDS' episode where Chandler handcuffs his female boss.


"It was the other way around!"


I know that.  So does everyone who ever watched the episode.  She wants to have sex in the office, she handcuffs Chandler and she has to leave suddenly.  Rachel discovers Chandler handcuffed.


That's what happened.  Unless you read NEWSWEEK which got it wrong.


And which didn't think it mattered because it was just TV. 


Well, when not sneering down their noses, do you think they might grasp that journalism is what they publish and that journalism is supposed to have standards.  Refusing to correct a glaring error is not journalism.  Insisting that an error doesn't matter because it's 'only TV' is not journalism.


Barry Gibb is not the most gifted songwriter of all time.  But he is talented.  He's got much to be proud of as do his two late brothers.  But that special was disgusting because it was filled with lies.  I'm not talking, "Let me tell you all about what Lulu told me!"  I don't care about the personal life lies.  I really don't.  I do care when you rewrite public history.  I do care when you tell a story and present it as fact even when it does not add up chronologically.  I do care when you pose as woke but you're just a joke, the same joke you were in the last century.  These are things I care about.  


NEWSWEEK cares about nothing.  They have a slam book post -- posing as journalism -- on Glenn Greenwald.  At every opportunity, they distort what Glenn actually wrote.  


If you haven't read Glenn's piece yet (we noted it Friday here), please do.  When NEWSWEEK decides to go after someone, it means they've done something significant and done something that frightens NEWSWEEK.


For those unfamiliar with NEWSWEEK's real history -- it was a cover for many agents and it struggled for years but was kept afloat by the Agency.  It did the CIA's business and many, many people in the press worked overtime to cover up these ties.


A gossip columnist for THE LOS ANGELES TIMES running a blind item didn't destroy Jean Seberg's life.  But NEWSWEEK -- left out by our friends at FAIR -- didn't print a blind item.  They printed that a pregnant woman was not pregnant by her husband.  He was the husband of record and only a government front would run a story like that and not fear fallout.  That was the height of defamation at that time.  They didn't just print that, they printed that Jean gave them an interview.  No, she didn't.  But you don't hear about that from FAIR and the other pretend watchdogs of journalism.  You hear them attack a gossip columnist who ran a blind item.  


NEWSWEEK, far more than any other publication, still -- STILL -- has much to fear from the public questioning the relationship between so-called journalism and the CIA.


Read Glenn's article and grasp how it's scared a lot of people already.


If you're new to the Jean Seberg issue, we've covered it here for years and years and years.  Most recently, earlier this year, Ava and I wrote about it "Media: Lies and Liars All Around."

IAVA Reacts to Denis McDonough Nomination as Secretary of Veterans Affairs

From IAVA:


               IAVA Reacts to Denis McDonough Nomination as Secretary of Veterans Affairs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
December 10, 2020
CONTACT: press@iava.org

New York, NY – Today, Denis McDonough has been nominated by President-Elect Joe Biden to serve as the 11th Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA). Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the nation’s leading post-9/11 veterans empowerment organization, is concerned that the nominee does not meet the criteria long championed by the organization but is cautiously optimistic that the skills, experiences and relationships he does bring afford an opportunity for substantive changes and improvements within the Department and its interaction with the veteran community. 

IAVA calls on nominee McDonough to prioritize enacting solutions that will help veterans nationwide, and ensuring a seamless transition during a challenging time for our nation’s veterans. 

“President-Elect Biden’s selection of Denis McDonough as nominee for VA Secretary is unexpected but also encouraging,” said Jeremy Butler, CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. “IAVA has long championed three critical criteria for any VA Secretary: a veteran, a medical professional, and experience managing large bureaucratic organizations. Denis McDonough arguably meets one of those criteria at best. However, he does bring senior leadership, policy, and Congressional expertise as well as a strong personal connection to the President-Elect. Running VA is a massive job that few are fully prepared for on day one. Denis McDonough, if confirmed, has an incredibly steep learning curve in front of him. But he also has the ear and respect of Joe Biden as well as the ability to bring about policy reforms and attention by the White House and senior leaders that are needed for the improvement of VA and ensuring that it meets the needs of all veterans who use it.”

IAVA looks forward to working with nominee McDonough and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, to ensure that VA is well equipped to care for all veterans of all eras. We also look for nominee McDonough truly partner with the VSO community in a fully transparent way, and to focus on IAVA’s Big 6 priorities, including mental health care, improved services for women veterans, protecting veteran education benefits, and ensuring veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic exposures receive the care that they deserve.

Success for any VA Secretary begins with transparency, accountability and regular dialogue with Congress, the press, and the very citizens which the department serves: the veteran community.

IAVA is the voice for the post-9/11 veteran generation. With over 400,000 veterans and allies nationwide, IAVA is the leader in non-partisan veteran advocacy and public awareness. We drive historic impacts for veterans and IAVA’s programs are second to none. Any veteran or family member in need can reach out to IAVA’s Quick Reaction Force at quickreactionforce.org or 855-91RAPID (855-917-2743) to be connected promptly with a veteran care manager who will assist.

IAVA Celebrates Senate Passage of Landmark Women Veterans Legislation

From IAVA:


               IAVA Celebrates Senate Passage of Landmark Women Veterans Legislation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
December 10, 2020
CONTACT: press@iava.org

New York, NY – Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the nation’s leading post-9/11 veterans empowerment organization, applauds the Senate for their passage of the Deborah Sampson Act, the centerpiece of IAVA’s #SheWhoBorneTheBattle campaign. 

At the beginning of 2017, in the basement of the Capitol building, Senator Tester (D-MT) and IAVA leadership committed to addressing the severe gaps in healthcare for women veterans, and work on the Deborah Sampson Act began.

“As the fastest growing veteran cohort, it is past time that women veterans receive care that is equal to both their male veteran counterparts and care that civilians receive,” stated Jeremy Butler, IAVA CEO, “ The Deborah Sampson Act takes a giant step toward closing those gaps as well as helping to ensure veterans feel safe when accessing care at VA.” 

The Deborah Sampson Act aims to significantly reduce barriers to care for women veterans while also expanding services to address issues like reintegration, homelessness, and newborn care. It includes provisions to address sexual harassment and assault in VA facilities and establishes an Office of Women’s Health directly under the Undersecretary of VA for Health.

“For over three years IAVA has worked tirelessly to push the Deborah Sampson Act over the finish line, and we are almost there. We thank Senators Tester and Boozman for their continuous support of women veterans and for their commitment to seeing this pass,” Butler continued.  

The Senate’s passage of the Deborah Sampson Act also included a large veterans package that includes two pieces of IAVA-supported legislation. These provisions would provide assistance for homeless veterans, veteran job retraining assistance, and the creation of an advisory committee on Tribal and Indian Affairs. The legislation now moves on to the House of Representatives for a vote before ultimately heading to President Trump’s desk for official passage.
