  Arkansas Airport Project Criticized as Public Fund `Scam'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Counterpunch, a 1,500-circulation semimonthly newsletter, is published by the Institute for Policy Studies, a Washington think tank with close ties to Clinton administration policy-makers.
The Counterpunch article charged that Jim Blair, a lawyer for Tyson - best known for advising Hillary Rodham Clinton in her profitable cattle-futures trading - was a charter member of a group seeking to have the airport built.
Counterpunch co-author Silverstein, referring to the scandals attendant to the Clinton administration, described ``Poultryport'' as ``a classic case - the names are always the same.''

In another Counterpunch piece entitled, "Reflections on Empire and Uppity Indians," Tim Wise writes that Ward Churchill was gratuitously targeted because he is an "Indian." Conservatives "had it in for him because he was guilty of a lot more than that.
In "What Ward Churchill Didn't Say," by one MICKEY Z. in Counterpunch, Ward Churchill is defended against the true terrorists, which include, in Mickey's "mind," Golda Meir, Menahem Begin, Henry Kissinger, Bill Cosby, and others, most of whom are misquoted by the lying Mickey.
Counterpunch proves better than anything else around that the term "Thinking Left" is today an oxymoron in the United States.

CounterPunch is a biweekly newsletter published in the United States that covers politics from a left-wing point of view.
CounterPunch says it carrys on the tradition of muckraking journalism of earlier investigative journalists such as I.F. Stone and George Seldes, casting its approach as "muckraking with a radical attitude".
Since coming online in 1998, the CounterPunch website has become one of the most frequently-visited left-leaning sites on the Internet.[1] While offering much material not published in the newsletter, the latter continues to publish commentaries by St. Clair and Cockburn that are not published on the web.

 The Military & CNN by Alexander Cockburn
I reported this interesting disclosure in my newsletter, CounterPunch, and made it the topic of my regular weekly broadcast to ``AM Live,'' a program of the South Africa Broadcasting Company in Johannesburg.
Among the audience of this broadcast was CNN's bureau in South Africa, which lost no time in relaying news of it to CNN headquarters in Atlanta, and I duly received an angry phone call from Eason Jordan, who identified himself as CNN's president of news gathering and international networks.

 alexander cockburn on the "9/11 conspiracy nuts" in antiwar blog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
I suppose the fact that CounterPunch attacked the Democratic Party and the CIA on a weekly basis was just one more example of our cunning in deflecting suspicion away from our true sponsors.
The fact that from time to time that we also quite regularly attacked FDR – and posited his foreknowledge of Pearl Harbor – should again be taken as evidence of our cunning in deflecting suspicion away from Ford’s supervisory roile in our affairs.
In fact we’d put Ford on the board in the hopes (vain, as they turned out to be) that he would persuade film stars to give CounterPunch money.

CounterPunch is the bi-weekly muckraking newsletter edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair.
Ours is muckraking with a radical attitude and nothing makes us happier than when CounterPunch readers write in to say how useful they've found our newsletter in their battles against the war machine, big business and the rapers of nature.
They want fresh facts, a newsletter that they can enjoy rather than just endure--and we give it to them.

Though he is routinely described as an "alternative journalist," Cockburn also has been one of the few left/radicals who routinely publishes in mainstream venues.
In other words, Cockburn -- alternative, mainstream or something in between -- is a real journalist, if we define a journalist as someone who is willing to dig beyond the surface and yet remain unconcerned about who is offended by what he finds.
These days, Cockburn is most widely recognized as co-editor, with Jeffrey St. Clair, of Counterpunch newsletter and its companion website, www.counterpunch.org.

 CounterPunch
In this book the editors of the newsletter present a blow-by-blow chronicle of political life during the the last ten years.
Cockburn and St. Clair go behind the scenes, telling the real story of the war on drugs, the rise of racial profiling, the crimes of the CIA, the crackdowns on civil liberties, the machinations of politicians and corporate law firms and the corruption of public interest groups.
But CounterPunch also reports on the resistance to the corporate takeover of American politics: the rise of the Green Party, the anti-globalisation movement, the fight to abolish the death penalty and a new anti-war movement that brought together people from the Right and the Left.

Alexander Cockburn is editor, along with Jeffrey St. Clair, of the bi-weekly muckraking newsletter CounterPunch (www.counterpunch.org).
He lived at a rate that would have felled a man half his age and ten times as healthy: a plane to London, an honorary degree, on to Lebanon, on to the West Bank, on to Cairo, to Madrid, back to New York.
I was seized, as so often before, by the power of the prose: how could anyone read those searing sentences and not boil with rage, while simultaneously admiring Edward’s generosity of soul: that with the imperative of justice and nationhood for his people came the humanity that called for reconciliation between Palestinians and Israeli Jews.

 ‘The Article That Almost Wasn’t’
Though Green’s article was initially rejected and laid to rest by most of the major mainstream media (one editor even inferred that Green was an “anti-Semite”; for writing the article), the CounterPunch Newsletter finally accepted the “short” version of Green’s piece for its mid-January publication.
CounterPunch is published by Jeffery St. Clair and Alexander Cockburn, two well-known writers known for their very liberal leftist views.
Though the newsletter goes to only a few thousand subscribers, their website is supposedly visited by hundreds of thousands of readers daily.

The Village Voice says CounterPunch, "outshines all its competitors." Out of Bounds calls it, "the most important politcal newsletter in the country." CounterPunch tells the facts and names the names!
Its stories have been picked up by or generated articles in Harper's, The Nation, the National Journal, the New York Daily News, The Washington Post, the Texas Observer, and several other publications.

The COUNTERPUNCH newsletter is published by the Institute for the Advancement of Journalistic Clarity [IAJC].
It then spends around $46,000 to print up its newsletter, around $35,000 to advertise its newsletter and around $15,000 on administrative costs.
So if a grandchild of FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt ever decided to help subsidize a publication like COUNTERPUNCH with inherited money, it's possible that the origin of much of that money would be what was left by FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Secondly, Counter/Punch is a leftie website from which attacks on Israel are "only to be expected" and hence can be safely ignored.
The same factor precludes the kind of response that one might have expected had The Case Against Israel been issued by a major publishing house such as John Wiley and Sons, who published Alan Dershowitz's best-selling The Case For Israel in 2003.
Publication by CounterPunch was a sure guarantee that The Case Against Israel would not be reviewed in the mainstream media and would not be the focus of the kind of concerted vilification to which the ultra-establishment figures Walt and Mearsheimer have been subjected.

 The Hatemonger's Quarterly
After all, The Nation publishes regular columns by Alexander Cockburn, a Stalinoid hack who, we related recently, uses his editorial perch from Counterpunch to support bizarre conspiracy theories that blame Israel for 9/11.
The loveable scamps at Counterpunch routinely deny that they are in any way anti-Semitic in between offering fevered rants opposed to all things Israeli, Zionist, and Jewish.
Plus, Cockburn and St. Clair on how this story was suppressed and ultimately found its home in CounterPunch.

I had actually read Cockburn’s article when it was put up on Counterpunch, and some similar pieces from other Big Alternative sites, and decided to pass on posting them.
The article is one of the most hollow, dishonest outbursts that I’ve seen in a long time on an alternative news site and frankly, it really knocks Counterpunch, Znet, and the Nation (who also published it), down a few pegs on the integrity board.
An alternative media group which was relying on Roosevelt Dynasty money to subsidize its work might possibly tend to avoid scrutinizing the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute [FERI} from an anti-corporate/anti-war radical left perspective–especially if the alternative media group’s vice-president was a senior advisor to FERI.

Retired CIA analysts Kathleen and Bill Christison are the authors of an 8-page dossier, "The Inside History of the Israeli Lobby" that was apparently distributed--before the Israeli war machine's brutal 2006 attack on Gaza and Lebanon--to subscribers of the CounterPunch newsletter (which is co-edited by one of The Nation's long-time columnists, Alexander Cockburn).
For all who want a true measure of the Lobby's power, the Christisons' 8-page dossier, exclusive to Counterpunch newsletter subscribers, is a MUST read."
Given the history of CIA-Israeli government collaboration in the Middle East during the last half-century, it's not surprising that the U.S. imperialist government (along with pro-Israeli government lobbying groups like AIPAC) presently supports the Israeli war machine's brutal 2006 war in Gaza and Lebanon.
