Today, it is the turn of everybody's favourite controlled left media outlet, The Guardian.
And in The Guardian's fawning article we see who Scahill really is.
Jeremy Scahill, whose provocative documentary Dirty Wars is released in the UK this week, has been described as a "progressive journalist" and an activist in the same mould as Glenn Greenwald. Is "progressive" a word he is comfortable with? "It's not a term I would reject in terms of my personal politics," he says, "but I see myself as an independent journalist and my mission is to try to tell stories about real people."

But Mother Agnes Mariam is real.
She has a story to tell.
But Scahill doesn't want her to tell her story because it would expose the false flag of Ghouta.
Kicking someone out of a Stop The War conference goes a bit further than simply being "an independent journalist" wanting to "tell stories about real people".
The Guardian, which projects this image of anti war (why else would they publish such an arse-licking article on Scahill?) pushed for war on Syria in August after Ghouta, citing R2P. It allows warmongers like Nick Cohen to push for war, but deletes my comments. Not once in the piece on Scahill is the scandalous move that Scahill took to kick Mother Agnes Mariam out of the Stop The War conference addressed. Neither did The Independent yesterday.
This article exposes both The Guardian and Scahill as, as Tarpley suggests, left gatekeepers.
And Scahill is teaming up with...Glenn Greenwald, the man who brought us Ed Snowden, just after the Syrian Arab Army had recaptured al Qusair and Obama was stalling on direct military intervention in Syria. That stalling on direct military intervention in Syria by Obama has continued with diplomacy with Iran.
