I am a writer and photographer from the UK.
This is my political blog. My main interest is analysing mainstream Western media narratives about International Affairs. A particular interest at the moment is how relations with Russia are reported in the mainstream media.
Given that the media is used to “manufacture consent” it is not possible to discuss politics without discussing the media. The media sets the parameters and range of debate, allows and promotes some voices, side-lines others. (While there are differences between the “right-wing press” and the progressive press there is broad consensus on many questions e.g. “Russian aggression”). So; any discussion of political questions has to start with media analysis.
I have a substack blog where I discuss questions of domestic politics and social trends in the UK.
