Edwards</a> had concluded that there was a "media suppression of the truth about the effect of the <a href="/wiki/Sanctions_against_Iraq" class="mw-redirect" title="Sanctions against Iraq">sanctions</a>" against Iraq, and an indifference to <a href="/wiki/Global_warming" class="mw-redirect" title="Global warming">climate change</a>: "the media were still celebrating the idea that Britain might soon be blessed with a Mediterranean climate". Another motivation came from interviewing <a href="/wiki/Denis_Halliday" title="Denis Halliday">Denis Halliday</a>, former head of the UN’s humanitarian aid program, after concluding its actions in Iraq were "<a href="/wiki/Genocide" title="Genocide">genocidal</a>".<a href="#cite_note-UKIM-NTM-14">[14]</a> Meanwhile, <a href="/wiki/David_Cromwell" title="David Cromwell">David Cromwell</a> had found coverage of certain issues to be "paltry",<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> and had gained a negligible response from the newspapers to which he had written.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> The two men first met in 1999, and Edwards suggested beginning a collaborative website.<a href="#cite_note-alterzoom-17">[17]</a> Central to Media Lens analysis is the <a href="/wiki/Propaganda_model" title="Propaganda model">Propaganda model</a>, first developed by <a href="/wiki/Edward_S._Herman" title="Edward S.

Around 2006, Media Lens said The Guardian would not publish Pilger "because he’s honest about the media" and "draws attention to the vital role of the entire liberal media establishment in crimes against humanity. So he is persona non grata".<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> In a 2007 interview, Media Lens said Pilger was a "huge inspiration" and, while discussing his work in the mainstream media, stated that "on the one hand, his work has a tremendous effect in enlightening a lot of people. On the other hand, his work is used to strengthen the propaganda system‘s false claims of honesty and openness".<a href="#cite_note-Pilger2013-22">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-alterzoom-17">[17]</a> Writing in <a href="/wiki/Z_Communications" class="mw-redirect" title="Z Communications">Z Communications</a> in May 2014, Elliot Murphy said that Media Lens pay careful attention to the writings of <a href="/wiki/George_Orwell" title="George Orwell">George Orwell</a>, "noting the prevalence of clichés which should arouse suspicion in any reader of the press or listener of parliamentary debates. These include 'at a time when', 'demands difficult choices', 'pivotal moment', 'towards', 'inextricably linked', 'courage', 'human being', 'some people say that', 'left of centre', and 'history tells us'. Cromwell and Edwards observe that 'it is not important to make sense in the media; it is important only to be able to bandy the jargon of media discourse in a way that suggests in-depth knowledge: Iran-Contra, IMF, G8, the "roadmap to peace", "UN resolution 1441", and so on' ".<a href="#cite_note-Murphy-8">[8]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Activities_and_main_arguments">Activities and main arguments</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Media_Lens&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Activities and main arguments">edit</a>]</div> In 2001, Media Lens began issuing regular online Media Alerts, scrutinising media coverage, the arguments used, <a href="/wiki/Source_(journalism)" title="Source (journalism)">source</a> selection, and the <a href="/wiki/Framing_(social_sciences)#Framing_in_mass_communication_research" title="Framing (social sciences)">framing</a> of events to highlight bias, omissions and direct lies.<a href="#cite_note-Townend2009-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-Pilger2002-24">[24]</a> The media alerts are distributed without charge by email to an international readership. According to Media Lens, the readership was around 14,000 people in 2009. Funding is through reader subscriptions and donations.<a href="#cite_note-Townend2009-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-OBB-5">[5]</a> The editors engage in email and <a href="/wiki/Twitter" title="Twitter">Twitter</a> exchanges with British journalists and editors.<a href="#cite_note-OBB-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-Murphy-8">[8]</a> They also invite their readers to challenge journalists, editors and programme producers directly via email, specifically discouraging abusive contact.<a href="#cite_note-DF2009-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-Alert1-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-BB2011-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> According to Cromwell and Edwards, journalists in the mainstream media articulate an "'official' version of events ... as Truth. The testimony of critical observers and participants" and "especially those on the receiving end of Western firepower – are routinely marginalised, ignored and even ridiculed".<a href="#cite_note-alterzoom-17">[17]</a> The editors "reject all conspiracy theories. Instead, we point to the inevitably corrupting effects of 'market forces' operating on, and through, media corporations seeking profit in a society dominated by corporate power ... Media employees are part of a corporate system that, unsurprisingly, selects for servility to the needs and goals of corporate power". They believe that mainstream journalists gradually absorb an unquestioning corporate mindset as their careers progress, becoming unwilling to question their occupations or governments claims, but not consciously lying. They also say that the limitations of the corporate media are not unexpected as "[w]e did not expect the Soviet Communist Party's newspaper <a href="/wiki/Pravda" title="Pravda">Pravda</a> to tell the truth about the Communist Party, why should we expect the corporate press to tell the truth about corporate power?"<a href="#cite_note-mlabout-28">[28]</a> In Cromwell and Edwards' opinion, western government actions have followed an "historical pattern of deception" going back several centuries,<a href="#cite_note-Barker-29">[29]</a> and "the corporate media is the source of some of the greatest, most lethal illusions of our age".<a href="#cite_note-Barker-29">[29]</a> Edwards wrote that, because of these corporate distortions, "we believe, society is not told the truth about the appalling consequences of corporate greed for poor people in the Third World, and for the environment".<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> According to Cromwell and Edwards, the centre-left wing of the mainstream media are gatekeepers "of acceptable debate from a left or Green perspective, 'thus far and no further'"<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> and that dissenting views have difficulty gaining attention in a corporate system.<a href="#cite_note-OBB-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-Clark-7">[7]</a> They have contrasted positive comments the mainstream media make about western leaders, with the epithets used to describe politicians such as <a href="/wiki/Hugo_Ch%C3%A1vez" title="Hugo Chávez">Hugo Chávez</a>, Venezuela's former President.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> In 2013, Media Lens described the corporate media as "an extremist fringe" from which progressives should completely dissociate themselves.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> In May 2011,<a href="#cite_note-UKIM-NTM-14">[14]</a> and more extensively in January 2015, Media Lens advocated "a collective of high-profile writers and journalists willing to detach themselves from corporate and state media, and to place themselves entirely at the mercy of the public" with their output freely available "from a single media outlet" and financed by donations.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> "The support would be vast, if the initiative was posited as an alternative to the biocidal, corruption-drenched corporate media", they said in an interview with The Colossus website in January 2016.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> Cromwell wrote in 2016 that, to find coverage of the <a href="/wiki/Yemeni_Civil_War_(2015%E2%80%93present)" class="mw-redirect" title="Yemeni Civil War (2015–present)">Yemeni Civil War</a>, "[n]ot unusually, one has to go to media such as" the Russian television network <a href="/wiki/RT_(TV_network)" title="RT (TV network)">RT</a> and the Iranian news network <a href="/wiki/Press_TV" title="Press TV">Press TV</a>, which are "so often bitterly denigrated as 'propaganda' operations by corporate journalists".<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception">Reception</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Media_Lens&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Reception">edit</a>]</div> In December 2002, eighteen months after the site's creation, Australian journalist John Pilger described Media Lens as "becoming indispensable".<a href="#cite_note-Pilger2002-24">[24]</a> In a <a href="/wiki/New_Internationalist" title="New Internationalist">New Internationalist</a> interview in 2010, Pilger said Media Lens "has broken new ground with the first informed and literate analysis and criticism of the liberal media".<a href="#cite_note-Pilger2010-37">[37]</a> Regarding their work on the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, he wrote that "Without [Media Lens'] meticulous and humane analysis, the full gravity of the debacles of Iraq and Afghanistan might have been consigned to bad journalism's first draft of bad history".<a href="#cite_note-Pilger2007-10">[10]</a> In a 2007 article about them, John Pilger mentioned their first collaborative book, <a href="/wiki/Guardians_of_Power" title="Guardians of Power">Guardians of Power</a> (2006), and wrote that "not a single national newspaper reviewed the most important book about journalism I can remember",<a href="#cite_note-Pilger2007-10">[10]</a> including the left-wing <a href="/wiki/Morning_Star_(UK_newspaper)" class="mw-redirect" title="Morning Star (UK newspaper)">Morning Star</a>.

David Cromwell and David Edwards, who run the site, are unfailingly polite, their points are well-argued and sometimes they're plain right."<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> In June 2006, <a href="/wiki/Peter_Beaumont_(journalist)" title="Peter Beaumont (journalist)">Peter Beaumont</a> wrote in The Observer that Media Lens "insist that the only acceptable version of the truth is theirs alone and that everybody else should march to the same step", and described them as "controlling <a href="/wiki/Politburo" title="Politburo">Politburo</a> lefties". He likened the group's email campaigns to "a train spotters' club run by Uncle Joe Stalin".<a href="#cite_note-Beaumont-12">[12]</a> Media Lens responded that "Beaumont was unwilling to challenge even one of the thousands of arguments and facts published in 2,000 pages of Media Alerts and in our book Guardians Of Power – so, instead, our 'nastiness' was the focus of attention".<a href="#cite_note-ml280606-40">[40]</a> The journalist <a href="/wiki/Peter_Wilby" title="Peter Wilby">Peter Wilby</a>, wrote in January 2006 that "their basic critique is correct" and he occasionally commissioned Cromwell and Edwards while he was editor of the <a href="/wiki/New_Statesman" title="New Statesman">New Statesman</a>.

He criticised them for generally confining their suggested actions to email campaigns rather than "direct action, non-violent civil disobedience, or even the odd promotion of an upcoming rally or lecture" and suggested that they "rethink their tactics when trying to influence, typically through electronic means, the actions and thoughts of other political writers and their general readership". Regarding Media Lens’ criticism of left-wing sources, Murphy wrote: "Writing detailed critiques of corporate media reports is admirable, but isolating yourself from those who could not only help you out, but who may in fact also need your help in undermining the very corporate media forces you’re attempting to expose as fundamentally subservient to power, is not the action of an organisation trying to improve the world".<a href="#cite_note-Murphy-8">[8]</a> In August 2015, <a href="/wiki/Helen_Lewis_(journalist)" title="Helen Lewis (journalist)">Helen Lewis</a>, deputy editor of the <a href="/wiki/New_Statesman" title="New Statesman">New Statesman</a> wrote about an interview she had with <a href="/wiki/Yvette_Cooper" title="Yvette Cooper">Yvette Cooper</a>.

Dejevsky responded that, while the sample may have been standard, it seemed small from her "lay perspective".

If ML maintains that deniers [Herman and Peterson] are 'perfectly entitled' to their position, it must believe that the ICMP has faked that analysis".<a href="#cite_note-Kamm2-49">[49]</a><a href="#cite_note-ML1-90">[90]</a> In his opinion, Media Lens "stands with genocide deniers" in its connection with Herman and his colleague, David Peterson, both of whom he linked in their statements about Srebrenica with Holocaust deniers.<a href="#cite_note-Kamm2-49">[49]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Syria">Syria</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Media_Lens&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Syria">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/Rupert_Read" title="Rupert Read">Rupert Read</a>, an academic and <a href="/wiki/Green_Party_of_England_and_Wales" title="Green Party of England and Wales">Green Party</a> politician said that Media Lens tends to talk up the numbers of victims of western actions but minimise those of governments in conflict with the west, such as those of <a href="/wiki/Bashar_al-Assad" title="Bashar al-Assad">Bashar al-Assad</a> in Syria and <a href="/wiki/Slobodan_Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87" title="Slobodan Milošević">Slobodan Milošević</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Read1-48">[48]</a> He described the articles by Aisling Byrne and <a href="/wiki/Robert_Dreyfuss" title="Robert Dreyfuss">Robert Dreyfuss</a>, which Media Lens had used as sources for fatalities in the <a href="/wiki/Syrian_uprising_(2011%E2%80%93present)" class="mw-redirect" title="Syrian uprising (2011–present)">conflicts in Syria</a>, as "dubious".<a href="#cite_note-Read1-48">[48]</a> He said the effect of this is "tacitly to increase the credibility of Assad's black propaganda".<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> David Edwards responded that there was already enough media coverage of the "crimes of official enemies" which, he said, tended to empower the "US-UK war machine". He said Media Lens preferred to "challenge the false assumption of US-UK benevolent intentions, the hypocrisy in media reporting, and the belief that war is the only alternative".<a href="#cite_note-Response_to_Rupert_Read's_latest-93">[93]</a> In May 2012, Media Lens had an exchange on twitter with cartoonist and writer <a href="/wiki/Martin_Rowson" title="Martin Rowson">Martin Rowson</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Rowson-94">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-ML10-95">[95]</a> Rowson had published a cartoon after the <a href="/wiki/Houla_massacre" title="Houla massacre">Houla massacre</a> depicting a bloodstained Bashar al-Assad. The cartoon also depicted "<a href="/wiki/Angela_Merkel" title="Angela Merkel">Angela Merkel</a> and <a href="/wiki/Christine_Lagarde" title="Christine Lagarde">Christine Lagarde</a> lashing a pile of human bones with euro-laden cats-o’-nine-tails".<a href="#cite_note-Rowson-94">[94]</a> Media Lens asked Rowson what evidence about the massacre he had used in drawing his cartoon. When Rowson replied that he had "no more evidence than media & UN reports, like anyone else. Also used cartoonist’s hunch", Media Lens asked whether he would "rely on a “hunch” in depicting Obama and Cameron with mouths smeared with the blood of massacred children?"<a href="#cite_note-Rowson-94">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-ML10-95">[95]</a> <a href="/wiki/Tribune_(magazine)" title="Tribune (magazine)">Tribune magazine</a> published an article by Howson about the exchange in which he asked why Media Lens had not sought his "evidence for alleging that Merkel and Lagarde have really truly desecrated corpses, as depicted in my cartoon". He said one possible reason was they were "shilling for tyrants".<a href="#cite_note-Rowson-94">[94]</a> In February 2017, Media Lens compared the media coverage of comments made on Syria by <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Corbyn" title="Jeremy Corbyn">Jeremy Corbyn</a>’s spokesperson <a href="/wiki/Seumas_Milne" title="Seumas Milne">Seumas Milne</a> in October 2016 with the coverage of UK foreign secretary <a href="/wiki/Boris_Johnson" title="Boris Johnson">Boris Johnson</a>’s comments in January 2017. Media Lens wrote that Johnson’s change in policy, announced in January 2017, to accept that President Bashar al-Assad should be allowed to stand for election and remain in power, was the result of newly elected President Trump’s opposition to Obama’s war for <a href="/wiki/Regime_change" title="Regime change">regime change</a> in Syria. They said Milne’s comments were "not defending Assad, merely calling for greater attention to US-UK atrocities". They described the media reaction as "ferocious criticism of Milne’s innocuous comments and the complete absence of any criticism of Johnson’s policy shift". According to them, the reason for the difference was that "the corporate media system is ideologically aligned against an authentically left-wing Labour leader, is working to undermine his reputation, and to protect the reputation of the Conservative government". Media Lens described the media’s "supposed compassion for the Syrian people" as "manufactured, fake".<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> In June 2017, the German newspaper <a href="/wiki/Die_Welt" title="Die Welt">Die Welt</a> published an article by <a href="/wiki/Seymour_Hersh" title="Seymour Hersh">Seymour Hersh</a> in which he said the attack by the Syrian government at <a href="/wiki/Khan_Shaykhun_chemical_attack" title="Khan Shaykhun chemical attack">Khan Shaykhun</a> in April 2017 did not involve <a href="/wiki/Sarin" title="Sarin">sarin</a> and that US intelligence knew this. Hersh wrote that his sources said the attack struck a building which housed "fertilisers, disinfectants and other goods".<a href="#cite_note-welt240617-97">[97]</a> Media Lens tweeted that their search of a newspaper database showed no mention of Hersh’s report. In June 2017, journalist <a href="/wiki/Brian_Whitaker" title="Brian Whitaker">Brian Whitaker</a> criticised Media Lens for being unconcerned that Hersh had not provided the sources for his story. Whitaker wrote that Media Lens had previously criticised The Guardian for quoting "unnamed American officials" in a story about Iraq.<a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a> <div class="mw-heading
