He passed on Dec 30th. John was very well known for his journalism over many decades - in Vietnam as a young reporter, up to the conflicts (and threat of conflicts) we currently face. One could sense that John cared deeply about peace, and never shirked from aiming criticism at whomever he felt was deserving of it (no matter how powerful that person or government may be).
John's final published essay can be read below:
This is really well done. For the first time, a true timeline of the events and the various mitigating factors on the day of January 6th 2021 has been put together in video documentary form.
Highly recommended. Free to watch, on:

Top story today: Jury awards $148 million in damages to the 2 election workers over Rudy Giuliani's lies.
Rudy repeatedly pushed a false conspiracy theory that endangered the lives of Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman who were 2020 Georgia election workers. They were on video passing something back and forth that Rudy claimed was drugs, when in fact it was a pack of Tic Tac breath mint.
Admitting he had lied, Rudy continued to repeat his baseless allegations about the women in comments to reporters outside the Washington, D.C. courthouse earlier this week.
Who exactly controls main stream media?
Let's take Geert Wilders as an example.
23/11/23
Anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders won a huge victory in Dutch elections, according to a near complete count of the vote early Thursday, in a stunning lurch to the far right for a nation once famed as a beacon of tolerance.
The result will send shockwaves through Europe, where far-right ideology is on the rise, and puts Wilders in line to lead talks to form the next governing coalition and possibly become the first far-right prime minister of the Netherlands.

Reading this one clearly can sense that msm definitely does not like this man. In other articles he is said to be 'Europe's Trump'
And if one msm 'bad mouths' the man, be sure that all the other media giants will follow suite, not with the exact wording but very similar.
As far as I can make out its mainly conservative institutions and individuals that are attacked.
Does this norm perhaps indicate to us who is controlling msm?

No, not Ron DeSantis. We're talking about a different prick here. It's Ron Jeremy of adult film fame. As the story goes, he was up on charges for more than 30 counts of s*xual assault and held without bond awaiting a trial.
Along the way, his mental status declined and the court declared him mentally incompetent because of symptoms of severe dementia and he was ordered to be held in the medical wing of a correctional facility located in downtown Los Angeles.
This allowed him to escape trial.
Despite the abuse allegations made against Jeremy, he has not been convicted of a crime. He is unlikely to recover from his dementia and be restored to competency, according to court records, meaning he cannot be housed in a state hospital. It appears Ron will be moved to a different facility, possibly a private residence, one that may not have security. This news has angered some of his victims, although Jeremy has denied all wrongdoing.
Days of alleged abuses on movie sets and at industry parties dating back nearly 30 years are long gone. Is he capable of doing it again is now the question...

In the news last week were stories about the passing of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who died at the age of 96. The tribute service was packed with friends, relatives and former presidents with their wives. In one of the headlines was a guy I didn't recognize, so I clicked the link and it hit me. Jimmy Carter, now 99 years old was wheeled in to the service.
It won't be long before they are reunited.
