this comes a full twenty seven years after anita hill spoke truth to power and told her story of sexual harassment at the hands of then supreme court nominee clarence thomas in one nine hundred ninety eight anita hill told brian lamb of c.-span spoke no it's why she had testified and gone public. well it's really about keeping this from happening. and today on capitol hill respected professor dr chrissy and lazy ford was given the n.e.a. health treatment when her when she testified about her sexual assault which alleges was at the hands of supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh when she was fifteen and he was seventeen no easy task i am here today not because i want to feed him terrified i am here because they believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me today hawk watchers let's talk about the young people watching this all unfold young people who are being taught that sexual assaults like those

perpetrated by priests in the catholic church should be covered up in the victim shamed the young people being told by their teachers like this is just in principle in tennessee that well just take a listen if you really want someone to blame blame the girls because they pretty much ruined everything they were in the dress code they were well as got a look at the. law it's really all you really get a good to go you can really go back to being a. for places like baylor university in texas whose face claims of covering up over fifteen rapes by student athletes in just four years it has led to a complete overhaul of their sexual assault reporting system but the work is far from over today let's look forward to a solution stand strong for the next generation and start watching the hawks. would you treat the. real that this was.

a part of. what the players like you are going. to. welcome everybody to watching the hocks i am top of the wallace and joining me today to discuss this issue of the campus rape high school sexual assault all of it is our sports correspondent regina hamm thank you so much for joining me thanks for letting me come on the set talk about such an important issue really something that you don't that really it kind of gets pushed around a lot where there's blame placed on victims and sometimes unwilling accusers but it really is a focus on the institutions that house both right because there is a responsibility you know when we talk about you know either brett kavanaugh or you know some of these other ones that go back years you're talking about minors or

you're talking a student and that's what really gets strange we know we saw it from the clip of the high school assistant principal who you know you know we girls we were in everything in there's some pretty toxic ideas being thrown around schools both to women and boys and girls and being teaching them those things you know after the steubenville rape case which was really i thought would be a changing point in how we handle these things in the case of baylor university this sort of says it doesn't stop at high school and it doesn't go away so. what what's what is that this sort of pact does it really just go from like if we don't stop in high school it's going to keep happening well a lot of people think that you know high school it's like a lot of hazing. in terms of the sexual assault is massed and kind of shoved under the carpet and you look at student the rape case in two thousand and twelve the girl was in appropriately touched after being drunk at

a party many was like oh well that you know this is her bad behavior she's making this came up against these seventeen six year old students who were convicted thankfully enough of that but that result isn't happen enough so you see girls or things happen like this they're accused of being in the you know what they're wearing what they're doing and in high school if you're sixteen years old and you're cute you know you're accusing someone of this that's the last thing you want is it to come back on you you're already nervous you're scared of someone to say you know there's your bad behavior and even the coach texted the players who were accused say in kind of joking with that one of them didn't believe him he was like coach said he'd had it how does that happen you know it's sort of one of these amazing things where we put certain values on certain certain types of people either it's an athlete at a school and you think of it a cleveland institution especially some of these that that are over a pretty high level not just for their sports programs but academically as well in the case is big sports programs those in title mind schools is enough being done is

anything being done to mitigate the attacks or i had you kidding even. on consent and understanding this because it's clearly a living and where we can talk about it and that's something i think colleges can progress towards don't think we're there yet especially when the case like you have over fifty cases mishandled by not only the school but the police department in some cases do the fact that these are student athletes at a power five football institution and that questions whether they're placing a value on athletics over students mental health of course after a sexual assault that's also easy to deal with and for you know in some cases you're having people come in brenda tracy rachel barbosa people who are trying to change the narrative and set an expectation for men being part of the solution and not part of the problem and that is great that we're making headway there but for the girls who were gang raped by football players or who were assaulted without

their consent that is not the schools aren't doing enough and had online there are some councils are overwhelmed just isn't enough support staff and i think that's something that needs to improve on college campuses and student athletes or if that you know you're attacked by a fellow student athletes just tend to be on this pedestal they can do no wrong so why would you if you're ruining a player's careers right and i think that putting is as women are always or are victims in general because we saw the exact same thing not to make this a gender issue but we saw the exact same thing happen with young men who were assaulted by priests in the catholic church or other religious organizations that they were shamed the same way women are they were put under these no one will believe you you will be on manly you sort of like figure out ways. just like emasculate a young boy or a man into don't talk about it because you might hurt the institution and not i wonder is when we look for when we look you know here's high school clearly they're getting a lot of toxic a murmur not

a lot of guidance and then they get to college and they're seeing these things covered up then they go to the n.f.l. and we have things like. so. missions who are in desperate need in washington rachel glad bens artsy. as they get a break on watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our full shows that are t dot com coming up journalist max blumenthal trains man to discuss his latest investigation into a journalist who wasn't and if you can believe it we've been googling for a twenty year stay tuned to watching the. whole thing you know we need to go back and buy all foreign forces out stuff so

that's also the position of the government that's the. mission do that. goes in any case even if there is a number of agents of the aircraft to go back one day to the to the country. and that it to scott like he acted from my seat that she had to get that. done that with. the money that when the money of the two. didn't get the money they do that is out there will mine it is going to

a model of the island i think after i'm going to montana a lot about how the now they're only starting somebody's got to get a little easier. when i was down my. god. that was out of my depth and i could see it as i asked by the. things about the truth are so you have a matter. of days that i. do but if it's about all of you film in the loop. and.

when it comes to regime change a lot of different tactics are use from arming rebels to economic sanctions nations around the world have attempted to change the course of elections and push out leaders they felt and fit their foreign policy plans but what happens when a novice reporter is used by major mainstream media outlets like the guardian n.p.r. in the washington post to cover the opposition movement in nicaragua journalist max blumenthal found an example of regime change propagandists making their way into the big time joining me now to discuss his latest investigative reporters journalist max thank you for joining me today are you with you so this is a very interesting story but historically speaking we've seen things like this before tell me a bit a little bit about this and for apologist yeah his name is carl david get into siac

you should be the third person has relatives in america think makes a good name you know and really my story isn't about. one young anthropologist turned journalist it's about the guardian and the washington post but especially the guardian and how they have actually selected among many journalists this one particular figure and many other figures to cover what was a violent cool attempt to remove nicaragua's elected leader daniel ortega and destroy the senden east a movement a progressive anti-imperialist workers' movement they selected figures who would specifically echo the narrative of the opposition that was seeking regime change and specifically we're talking about a party called the m.r.s. or the movement for send a nice to read renovation which consists of former sandinistas who wound up getting backing from the u.s. this party is directly financed and supported by the united states as i reveal in my investigation and karl david getting who emerged out of nowhere to cover

nicaragua's crisis for the guardian and washington post was intimately connected to this political party and before that had no record in journalism was an anthropologist working among the indigenous population on nicaragua's eastern coast and admitted in a now deleted podcast that he was working to encourage opposition among that population to the government so i can't think of a figure less objective for papers legacy publications like the guardian and washington post to turn to but that's because they actually wanted regime change themselves and what's so interesting about this is when you look at it i mean sure there's lots of sort of nontraditional journalists these days but if anything journalists have people are independent and that's great so when you look at his work how much of it did you find contain legitimate like fake wrong information and incorrect reporting how much of it was actually an accurate why i mean i'm an

advocacy journalist i make my views known people know where i stand but i also have to be factual in what i report moment. it ripped to shreds instead people tend to come at me just simply with personal insults because they can't. take down my factual journalism in the case of this journalist karl david getting luciana who is working with you know other young correspondents like a woman named carolina hook from a publication funded by the arms industry defense one to publish articles in the guardian which is supposed to be a left wing publication. it was filled with misinformation and he was simply pumping the narrative of the opposition and quoting sources from the m.r.'s this u.s. backed party who which exists solely to split the send in east is and he was quoting them as sort of objective sources when in fact he had personal relationships with them that he wasn't acknowledging and was spreading misinformation about general strikes against

a government which barely shut down the economy at all presenting them as if they had shut down the entire country claiming that the m.r.s. party had been outlawed when in fact it doesn't stand in elections because they it's candidates can't get elected to dog catcher because they're like elite affluent people who work at u.s. backed n.g.o.s that common nicaraguans have no respect for so it's this kind of reporting that people in the west have gotten from the guardian a paper that they regard as left of center because it now opposed the drive to war in iraq for example but now you know what this does is really expose what the guardian is to us increasingly it's a neo conservative paper whose agenda dovetails with the national security state of washington and they choose their on the ground correspondents accordingly. whatever is wondering why why is the last sort of you know a united states that sort of western media syl invested in toppling the

nicaraguan government i mean we've seen them in syria we've seen in other places and they say why are they so invested in in toppling ortega and. government that's a great question and you know it's a question that i've struggled with this is a government that since it was elected in two thousand and six despite massive u.s. interference has seen the economy grow at rates of four to five percent a year wiped out malnutrition eliminated illiteracy brought public education and public health care to the masses of nicaraguans who live in rural areas who previously didn't have it i actually saw the country transformed because i was there before take it was elected and after the transformation has been enormous it's also a mixed economy this is not you know a hard core communist government the business community has flourished as well so why is the u.s. trying to take or take it down because it's not just about ortega it's about the sending east is and the threat they pose which is the threat of a good example to other latin american countries that the u.s.

wants to dominate the send an east as remain an imperialist movement a progressive workers' movement that is independent and opposed to u.s. domination in the region let me ask you this because i keep seeing this same sort of thing happening and all this regime changes especially in central and south america is that it always seems to be against workers party is against anything anything that even smells socialist that that puts the worker and the people first what kind of message is that sending generally i mean just out into the world that we don't like any any government that is worker based or any movement that's worker i mean if you really get into the woodwork of the fabric of nicaraguan society you'll see that new cooperatives lead extensively by women i mean women's participation in nicaraguan society outpaces what you see in almost all of latin america these cooperatives actually pose a threat to the ngo sector that washington supports they've supplanted the ngo

sector in a lot of the people that used to be active in nicaragua as the white saviors are not able to be there anymore. and so they resent this government. there is so much about nicaragua that is an example to the rest of latin america but nicaragua has done well because partly because venezuela had done so well under this and that's why venezuela is under attack right now why this trump administration has put new sanctions on venezuela because venezuela was the engine of progress in all of the independent states that were resisting u.s. influence but which we pose no national security threat to the u.s. and so that's why we see this attack on venezuela but the attack is not just through sanctions there is a media attack on nicaragua right now and a media attack on venezuela and that attack is care carried out by hand picked correspondents like carl david getting luciana who prior to emerging out of nowhere in journalism was an opposition activist in nicaragua this should be

a source of deep embarrassment to the guardian but they still get to parade around as an objective publication in the washington post gets to tell us that democracy dies in darkness these are publications that are just as biased as anyone who is an advocacy journalist except they're insidious because they are seen as objective voices what's really disturbing i think is that as you said these legacy papers that are so forth to be the ones that we can look to that at least we know where they stand there a little right of center or a little left yeah you know where you are but i think it's that thing of you know reporters and networks and different outlets and papers can have some bias is their opinion but if you're not honest about it that's where the problem i think lie is the as you said if you're an advocacy journalist if you're like this is my area and this is my opinion on it that makes sense but how common do you think these kind of investigative journalists are because we've definitely seen examples in syria of

journalists who weren't really journalists. pushing narratives on. and none means main main main stream major one so how dangerous do you think as a journalist how dangerous do you think this is to journalism and the fourth estate for you know either governments or n.g.o.s to again we've seen mess and more is passed in generations past using media to push out propaganda and try to regime change how dangerous that for journalism well i mean you see journalism in crisis right now and i think you know our view of it is distorted because trump is exploiting the crisis in trust for mainstream journalism so we associate criticism of the press with trump ism with the right wing but the reality is of bernie sanders were president we would be seeing the same crisis in the same clash between a president who represented a solid constituency that rejects mainstream media and this elite press corps which

sees its duty as to promote washington's agenda of regime change wherever there is a country targeted whether it's in syria where c.n.n.'s award winning correspondent clarissa ward relied on a literal al qaeda member named beloved dual karim who currently works in al qaeda controlled live to guide her in to eastern aleppo he was the camera person he worked on her award winning segments and clarissa ward delivered the narrative of al qaeda and its cia backed allies back to the american public that they wanted us to bomb in their support and we're seeing the same thing in nicaragua when i went to nicaragua in july i was completely shocked at the level of violence that the sending east is common sending nice to members had experience at the hands of a very violent opposition that was not much different from the kind that we saw in venezuela or even in syria except they had unfortunately been armed by the us and i saw it as my job to tell the western public what it had been told by mainstream

media there is a conspiracy of silence about how violent and how undemocratic this. opposition had been and that shocked me but no one would tell the other side of the story i'm really glad that you told us and that you're telling a story encourage everyone to look up the article posted on our facebook page i'm watching the thank you so much thanks for amounts of women thanks. picture a world without smartphones without social media without the turn of a twenty four hour news cycle and now it's nearly impossible well twenty years that is how long it's been as of today since the debut of google search and advancement that has changed not just silicon valley in the fortunes of one's larry page and sergey brin but the entire concept of the internet and our relationship to it not just on line shop but the most basis pieces of technology we now take for granted
