this is out of plot of george orwell. you know, staging an operation, declaring somebody is dead who is not, this is fake news. and there's no two ways about it. i'm unconvinced about how a potential assassin would declose something after the authorities declared that he was dead that he wouldn't disclose before. to do this also in a few days after the investigation report from the dutch authorities into the death of 298 people who died for real, totally innocent victims of mi-17. they wrote an open letter saying we are real. russian is trying to engage in this truth, if you like. and this is an insult to all of those, an insult to journalists trying to see through the fog of war and information. it's an insult to those who are dead and an insult to their relatives. >> i see you're angry. we have a sound bite from arkady babchenko, who's a disdent journalist. he had to flee for his own safety to ukraine. and obviously, presumably, he felt there was some plot against him. this is what he said as sort of an explanation at t

meanwhile the cia sponsored the congress of cultural freedom with artists like leonard bernstein george orwell and jackson pollock as symbols of western culture and liberal expression while artists like paul robeson a black singer an actor who advocated for civil rights and peace with the soviets were hounded that time they were targeting great activist entertainers such as paul robeson who was an amazing musician was considered when the best singers in the world and also an actor and so you find that they seriously targeted paul robeson dosing him with acid for example according to a sun power was in junior in in a hotel in moscow about few weeks before he was going to meet with che guevara and fidel castro the cia had started a group called the congress of cultural freedom and that group with huge gave out vast amounts of money that in effect in studying all the cia documents and u.s. intelligence documents they became america's secret ministry of culture in hollywood the cia had assets like louis roski working at major studios like paramount as well as m.g.m. and r k o two in the words of p

lou: tonight's quote of the evening about liberty and those who seek it, george orwell said quote, ifto hear, even if they're at the border seeking asylum i suppose. joining us tonight, michael goodwin, a pulitzer prize winning columnist, fox news contributor, great american. good to see you. let's start with this caravan that's galvanizing public attention. there's an effort to say they've got the right to cross into our borders no matter what, even though their claims do not comport to what is required for asylum. >> look. i think the media loves this now. now the ball is in trump's court. trump is on defense. what is he going to do with these women and children. lou: stop them. >> they don't ask any questions about what was mexico's role in this. remember back when the caravan people said we're not coming to the united states. this is an annual local march that we do. it with us a ruse all along to get to the american border, please for asylum. and somehow they are entitled and we have no rights. we the american people have no rights. american country has no rights. lou: if we did

i'm the only professor was listed in my article i argue that matt is george orwell 1984 y. la received a writ of responses around the world who thought i was courageous for writing the article it was one lesson i've received from a white male who discovered the first time and he wrote o wroted your rant regarding the white people and i am proud to inform you i will never feel any guilt or shame. you're just another nigger with a chip on his shoulder looking for excuses to justify his hatred and guess what, nobody cares what you think of white people. my own regret if i didn't hear you in person so i could call you a nigger to your face you worthless and then take your ass. i want you to linger with that these things are sent to me in 20th century white america. it would traumatize the ideology and register the mood swings, irritability, nausea. one supremacist website wrote this, nigger, nigger, nigger wrightstown the page. that was the response in white america. how many times must i be reminded. recently i also received you deserve to be punished with several fists to you

george orwell is supposed to have said it best: "journalism is printing what someone else does not wantight, the spotlight is on the evening standard. the political website, 0pen democracy, claims the newspaper, edited by former chancellor george osborne, has agreed a £3 million deal with six companies promising them advantageous coverage which would breach the traditional divide between editorial — that's news and comment — and commercial interests. the paper has hit back, vociferously denying the paper would offer "money can't buy" positive news calling the claim "grossly inaccurate." we did ask to speak to someone from the evening standard, but no one was available. i'm joined now by les hinton, former executive chairman at news international, who'sjust published his memoir, the bootle boy, about his 50 years working for rupert murdoch. what is your concern? it sounds that they could be getting pretty close to the important line that separates commerce from independent in editorial matter, once that is crossed, readers can no longer be sure if they are reading sponsored material or t

. >>> we're talking about a concerted ef-effort by president trump and others that maybe george orwell recognize. he's amping up for what all intents and purposes is a deception campaign, branding a confidential fbi source who reportedly contacted three figures in this campaign to assess any russian efforts regarding the election as a deep state spy. directed a to the campaign. the associated press reporting that he chose "spy" deliberately because it suggested something nefarious was going on. in fact, there's no evidence there was or that this asset was anything other than the kind of individual used all the time in counterintelligence investigations. late today in "the situation room," outgoing senator jeff flake was asked what he was thought about these attacks by the president and tomorrow's meeting. >> well, i think that that is completely unfair and it's not good to sully our institutions like that without proof. and having a briefing that includes only republicans is no way to have transparency. if you're going to have transparency, then involve both parties. so i hope that the

it's not a coincidence that copies of george orwell's "1984" and margaret atwood's "the hand maid's tale" are flying off the shelves. it's a warning. for anyone who thinks our country isn't vulnerable to propaganda or attempts to suppress free expression, you only have to look at the 2016 election which was a case study in the weaponization of false information and outright lies against our democracy. we now know that russian agents used facebook, twitter, google, youtube, even pinterest -- [laughter] i still am trying to figure that one out. [laughter] but they used these very well-trafficked sites to place targeted attack ads and negative stories intended not only to hurt me, but more importantly and and lastingly, to fan the flames of division within our society. they posed as americans pretending to be gun rights and black lives matter activists. they even held phony demonstrations. now, the russian disinformation campaign was successful of in part -- successful in part because america's natural defenses have been worn down over the years by powerful interests that want to make it ha

somehow teach them a different way of thinking, something that would delight the inventors of george orwell's speak, for example. it seems to me as something that is implausible. it doesn't work. that's what i mean by empirical. it doesn't stand an empirical test to validate it. as we see from the political landscape now, and i worry that we may in the future. so i'm disappointed the subject revolved just around academia, which is predictable because that is the sort of crucial in -- crucible which these elements are mixed, but in modest points, i have not heard from michelle or the professor what they think political correctness is. basically what they had talked is progress,ress and good on progress, but how it is that what we call political correctness, you call progress. that is what we are supposed to be arguing. i want to know what you mean by political correctness? [applause] said, the reason a few months ago, you contacted me and we talked about the debate on identity politics and you presented a resolution. i said, there are a lot of things people called political correctness that i

and george orwell wrote his book, and big brother is here and if our environment left us.similarly, differences in equality. are these differences between a rich person having access to cognition enhancement and a pour person not? are they going to affect us any more than the differences that we now have in our society. they're looking at ooh pew study that looks at dinnfferent income. and they are grossly unequal. past the u.s. you'll find even grosser inequalities than this. to me, tablet computer, smart phone, these are cognitive aids. i use wikipedia all the time and it's in my pocket. and the point is having an interfaith to the brain hasn't changed my technology. the extent that i'm worried about that creating in our owe site, i should plant that concern back on real life programs. they're one and the same. so, that's my overall point is that hopes and fears for neuro psychology both in a sense overplay the significance of the inside and outside of the brain and they're falling into the same kind of dualism that i started my talk with. let me close by asking, what wo
