oh contessa...

now, i am still waiting to hear msnbc, cnn, faux, abc, cbs, and nbc-proper to come out with a HUGE mea culpa for being the tool of the pentagon (which serves as a tool for our corporate overlords).

now that there is proof positive that the "military experts" broadcast on the msm are tools and fools, doing the bidding of the DoD and the offense industry, i am waiting for the expose on the "financial experts." here's 100 bucks that they are just as much tools of the financial industry that the "military experts" are of the war-profiteer industry.

If you've no time to read anything else, be sure and read Informed Comment, not only today but every day.

PoP - I was shocked to see Juan Cole posting results from a NEWSMAX/Zogby poll.

I advise this anywhere and everywhere I can also. Professor Cole gives us a bit more than the pap delivered to us by the MSM. Thanks for mentioning it.

I apologize for posting this in two threads, but this is the more appropriate one: slacktivist on "elitism."

That's an outstanding piece of work.

Definitely. Fred Clark is consistently one of the very best.

98% of the mass media is owned and controlled by five warmongering, warprofiteering multinationals that essentially support the neoconservative agenda.

i'll see your five and raise you one. (GE, timewarner, Newscorpse, disney, viacom, CBScorp)

and, i would argue that saying that they "essentially support the neoconservative agenda" is letting them off the hook too easily.

they support corporate imperialism, in whatever guise it presents itself. neoconservatism or neoliberalism.

they dominate the internet, cable, broadcast TV, periodicals, movie studios, amusement parks, radio, etc.

yet, NYT was still able to break the military-analyst-as-offense-industry-black-operative story.

Hey everybody, I'll be hitting LA again today and getting interviewed by KTLA for the evening news. Here's some recent work:

While traditional conservatives welcomed neoconservatives (the guys in the WH basement) as allies in their fight against Soviet Communism and domestic liberalism, the Neocons in effect acted as a Trojan Horse within conservatism, they managed to secure dominant positions in the conservative political and intellectual movement, and as soon as they gained power they purged those traditional conservatives who opposed their agenda.” The old conservatives who invited them in the first place, were pushed out by the aggressive newcomers, and became irrelevant PalaeoCons.

Jimmy Carter, Hamas, and the media. Welp, I’ve seen the results of the BUSHCO plan, and I’m not that f*cking impressed.

Problem is Carter's trying to find a peaceful resolution .. BushCo wants no such thing .. the Israelis need to continue to abuse the Palestinians to keep the rage of the Arab masses directed at Israel instead of their own repressive regimes ..

And what about the massive transfers of wealth from the US Treasury to the Anglo-American-Isreali arms industry?

Carter's trying to ruin a well-crafted multi-purpose racket ..

And to point out the racket will only get you branded as an anti-semite.

The only way to reach a political settlement in the Middle East is for an American president to pressure Israel to make concessions.

Which is never going to happen. Concessions are exactly what the Zionists are trying to avoid.

Uh-Oh! Voting machines are breaking down in PA! No paper trail?

None of the talking heads are talking about opium production in Afghanistan and how the Taliban is flooding the globe with the stuff.
