Or put another way, these two wise souls discuss the copious amounts of drivel which parades as news spewed by huge corporations with agendas that are inimical to the best interests of our citizenry.

David Sirota is quite outraged by this and the Van Jones fiasco as we all should be. The Wall Street Journal (a paper btw I stopped reading in the 1990’s because of its horrible coverage of [...]
Article by John on August 5th, 2009 at 12:49 pm It is amazing the power of TV to make people stupid especially with stooges like Glenn Beck around: And then again some people make up their own vitriol without anyone’s help: And with “newscasters” like this, is it any wonder people are confused? var wordpress_toolbar_urls = [];var wordpress_toolbar_url = “http://www.democracyforvancouver.org/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php”;var wordpress_toolbar_oinw = “oinw”;var wordpress_toolbar_hash = “aHR0cDovL3d3dy5kZW1vY3JhY3lmb3J2YW5jb3V2ZXIub3JnL21lZGlhL2RlYWQtbGliZXJhbC88d3B0Yj5Ob3RoaW5nIEJldHRlciBUaGFuIGEgRGVhZCBMaWJlcmFsPHdwdGI%2BaHR0cDovL3d3dy5kZW1vY3JhY3lmb3J2YW5jb3V2ZXIub3JnPHdwdGI%2BRGVtb2NyYWN5IGZvciBWYW5jb3V2ZXI%3D”;
Article by John on July 27th, 2009 at 9:14 am Frank Rich has an Op-Ed in the New York Times today worth a read about Cronkite and why he was so admired. Today’s mainstream lapdog news people can learn from him: What matters about Cronkite is that he knew when to stop being reassuring Uncle Walter and to challenge those who betrayed his audience’s trust.
