The hypocrisy of Jon Stewart's attack on Jim Cramer, and the larger problem of an electorate that is "informed" by biased media, is laid bare for all to see in this 4-part video.
Set aside about 40 minutes to watch it. Quick, before it gets taken down.

"The Takedown" Deconstructs Propaganda

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.
In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.
We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.

I would have liked it better without the background music and constant cuts.
ReplyDeleteBut that's just me, I like my information without any song and dance routine backing it up
Here's a link to a post by Glenn Greenwald on Larry Summers, Tim Geithner and Wall Street's ownership of government.
ReplyDeleteThe titular duo certainly come laden with enough potential conflicts of interest to arouse the suspicions of a Clouseau. Further down the Greenwaldian posting list you'll find links to his recent discussion of Portugal's success with their drug decriminalization and musings on Obama's DOJ's request to extend the deadline for a decision on whether to disclose the so-called torture memos.
Adios.
