Adbusters: Farewell and Good Luck, Zuck! Will his latest moves mark the beginning of the end of Facebook?

Zuckerberg, who turns 29 today [5/14], is using his Facebook fortune to create and promote advertisements for fracking companies, the Keystone XL tar-sands pipeline, and for oil companies that want to drill in such delicate places as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge! And of course, his success as an entrepreneur has always been contentious, since we know that he's stepped over a lot of people, including his friends, stealing ideas and playing hardball, to get where he is today – one of the world's youngest billionaires .. Zuckerberg is moving boldly into the political arena. The new lobbying group that he co-founded with other technology executives in the Silicon Valley is called FWD.US. "Their first moves," writes Steven Rosenfeld for AlterNet, mark a resurrection of "old-school libertarian values: [] trashing health care reform and backing the Keystone XL pipeline."

Glenn Greenwald: The major sea change in media discussions of Obama and civil liberties

it is remarkable how media reactions to civil liberties assaults are shaped almost entirely by who the victims are. For years, the Obama administration has been engaged in pervasive spying on American Muslim communities and dissident groups. It demanded a reform-free renewal of the Patriot Act and the Fisa Amendments Act of 2008, both of which codify immense powers of warrantless eavesdropping, including ones that can be used against journalists. It has prosecuted double the number of whistleblowers under espionage statutes as all previous administrations combined, threatened to criminalize WikiLeaks, and abused Bradley Manning to the point that a formal UN investigation denounced his treatment as "cruel and inhuman". But, with a few noble exceptions, most major media outlets said little about any of this, except in those cases when they supported it. It took a direct and blatant attack on them for them to really get worked up, denounce these assaults, and acknowledge this administration's true character

Glenn Greenwald: Justice Department’s pursuit of AP’s phone records is both extreme and dangerous

What makes the DOJ's actions so stunning here is its breadth. It's the opposite of a narrowly tailored and limited scope. It's a massive, sweeping, boundless invasion which enables the US government to learn the identity of every person whom multiple AP journalists and editors have called for a two-month period. Some of the AP journalists involved in the Yemen/CIA story and whose phone records were presumably obtained - including Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo - are among the nation's best and most serious investigative journalists; those two won the Pulitzer Prize last year for their superb work exposing the NYPD's surveillance program aimed at American Muslim communities. For the DOJ to obtain all of their phone records and those of their editors for a period of two months is just staggering

Greg Mitchell: History Repeats? ‘NYT’ Boosts, But McClatchy Questions, Claims of Syria’s Use of Chemicals

Is history repeating itself? [] The New York Times, as it did in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq invasion, seems to be promoting []some kind of dramatic U.S. intervention in Syria, based on WMDs. Once again we’ve seen overheated front-page news stories, based on slim evidence, and columns by [the moustache of understanding] Thomas Friedman, Bill Keller and others .. Also in a re-play, reporters for McClatchy’s D.C. bureau are expressing sensible skepticism .. One of the reporters in those much-hailed, in retrospect, Iraq stories is still at it on Syria: Jonathan S. Landay
