FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.

Knew the “Knockout game” was a small phenomenon the media was latching onto and magnifying in order to scare old people and cater to the closet racists – and it worked; it makes a good story, that’s what counts, right? Scaring people is the best way to enforce discipline.
It reminds me of the “Sandy Loot Crew” internet hoax pulled of by GNAA after hurricane Sandy, which people predictably fell for, without investigating to see if it was true. Black youth running around stealing television sets, breaking windows, chaos, etc. When you tell people what they want to hear, there’s little need for evidence. Very revealing.
Drones are already been used for spying and killing military and civilian people by the US and Israel in Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iran and Lebanon. There are some speculations that soon NYPD will be using drones to spy over certain minorities.
Iran has just joined the ‘Drone Club’ which was monopolized by the United States and the Zionist entity in the past. The United States has a stockpile of 7,000 drones, mainly used for reconnaissance and combat operations.
Israel’s drone technology is based on American research. It started manufacturing drones for military use after its airforce sustained large losses in the 1973 war with its Arab neighbors. Israel’s Heron TP Eitan drone is reported to be world’s largest drone and cost nearly $35 million. It can fly at an altitude of 12,000 meters for maximun 20 hours. Israel has sold its drones to Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Tehran has admitted cooperating with Hizbullah and Venezuela in the production of drones.
