JOHNSTONE January 25: When Journalists Are Your Enemy Truth Is Not Your Friend

This month’s cover illustrates the moment when journalist Sam Husseini was forcibly carried out of Antony Blinken’s final press conference as Secretary of State, all for attempting to interrogate Blinken on his role in the genocide of Gaza.  This is one of many escalating attacks on journalists around the western empire, including the jailing of pro-Palestinian journalist Ali Abunimah in Switzerland (p3).
