It’s Monday, and Israel is still slaughtering Gazans; America and Great Britain (with the help of their sycophantic little brother Australia) have begun bombing Yemen; Russia is still blowing up Ukraine, and Ukraine is still pretending it doesn’t have a problem with Nazis; religious-based terrorism in Pakistan officially claimed more than 1,000 lives last year; media like the ABC are still trying to provoke a war between China and Taiwan (elections in Taiwan over the weekend saw the pro-Beijing KMT secure more than one-third of the vote, making them the largest single party in parliament); and Donald Trump is still on track to win the second episode of Fantasy Island, aka the American presidency.

New Matilda is a small, independent media outlet. We survive through reader contributions, and never losing a lawsuit. If you got something from this article, giving something back helps us to continue speaking truth to power. Every little bit counts.
Ed’s Desk is an occasional column in New Matilda where we sub-edit a story in the mainstream press that has already been published, but probably shouldn’t have been. This edition, we look at News Corporation’s coverage of the gravest threat ever faced by human-kind.
‘The Worst Thing On The Internet’ is a regular column in New Matilda which documents humankind’s race to the bottom.
