Can you IMAGINE a Walter Cronkite getting on the CBS Evening News today and saying the war in Iraq is unwinnable?Īnyway, I've strayed a bit from the topic but even using humour as a vehicle, one has to be careful and know the rules in the US. Only Keith Olbermann seems to stand apart, but its also doubtful you're going to get an honest assessment of the history of American foreign policy in Latin America even from him.Įveryone is running scared.
The crazy thing is that most Americans either applaud it ('finally the liberal media is dead') or the changes have gone right over their head. The ghosts of Goebbels are alive and well and writing news copy for the major US news networks. Luckily my dinner didn't hit the wall at that point but I needed a break from it all. i didn't watch Fox since I was already going hoarse and didn't want to risk a stroke.Īt one point I had made dinner for my son and invited him to watch Lou Dobbs saying "you've got to hear the propaganda being fed to people as news."Īt one point UN Ambassador John Bolton was introduced as one of the sane and level headed voices in the UN by Dobbs. Yesterday as I recount in my blog ( ) there was a genuine hate-on against Chavez in the US media - CNN and MSNBC - you had to see it and hear it to beleive it. I guess the lure of being in the public eye and making all that cash overrides concerns over teling it like it is which is why I can't work in radio or the media in the US anymore. It turns a lot of them into cowards, yes, but at least to quote Phil Donahue, they aren't "dead heroes."

It was very jarring to see this 'funny man' with literally blood dripping fangs.ĮVERY American humorist or TV show host knows by now or should that they operate under certain parameters beyond which they cannot stray. I'm paraphrasing but that was his essential thrust - make peace with Israel or be annihilated. 'so sorry Lebanon that your cities had to be razed and so many killed, but that's what happens when you let the nuts run loose in your country.' Although he's 'back' in a sense he gets invites now, I was distressed to hear him a few weeks ago on Larry King spouting such uber Zionist crap you had to hear it to believe it, i.e. The previous posts I think pretty much summed it up - Stewart doesn't want to land up like Bill Maher.
Aww - Michelle closed this just before I was able to comment - but I have a feeling that babblers weren't quite done.
