Dine'/Zuni Pueblo journalist Marley Shebala, 73, screamed in pain as she was violently arrested by police. Marley had filed an ethics complaint against Navajo President Buu Nygren, and was reporting on the ongoing corruption in the Navajo tribal government. "I am 73 years old, and they have me handcuffed in my home with my daughter, our Navajo police, to serve and protect" Marley says, as she continues to livestream. Navajo police used a locksmith to enter her home. Marley, who has reported from her homeland, the Navajo Nation, for 40 years, was then jailed. https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2025/10/navajo-reporter-marley-shebala.html

The New York Times Fails Again
Standing Rock: 'We are Sitting Bull's People'

The New York Times is quick to publish a story on the latest ruling on the Dakota Access Pipeline, claiming it is a critical energy need -- but failed to report on the excessive force lawsuits filed against law enforcement by Marcus Mitchell and Sophia Wilansky. Both were critically injured at Standing Rock defending the water from the pipeline. Their cases were heard by the federal appeals court this week.

The New York Times is now known around the world for its failed reporting and bias which enabled the genocide in Palestine.
