Chuck Lewis, a former "60 Minutes" producer and founder of the Center for Public Integrity, once told me: "The values of the news media are the same as those of the elite, and they badly want to be viewed by the elites as acceptable."
This is why when The Revolution comes, the media will probably have a higher percentage casualty count than the rest of the elite.

That kind of reaction is to be expected from the lobbyists exposed in my article. But what I found more disappointing is that their concerns were then mirrored by Washington Post media columnist Howard Kurtz, who was apparently far less concerned by the lobbyists' ability to manipulate public and political opinion than by my use of undercover journalism.
"No matter how good the story," he wrote, "lying to get it raises as many questions about journalists as their subjects."

"Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.
"None of these beliefs are based in fact. ... While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way."
--Larry C. Johnson, "The Declining Terrorist Threat," New York Times, July 10, 2001. Johnson, a former CIA officer, was deputy director of the U.S. State Department's Office of Counterterrorism from 1989 to 1993.

From below and a Vulcan hand gesture to the nice people who call sheets. Thank you.
When I watch stuff like 24 I always marvel at the people who write what the computer programs do and how they work. There is a lot of wishful thinking going on. (I think the people who actually write the programs wish that they could do some of the stuff they show too.)
They WISH they had that kind of program with that interface. (I always wonder about the people who write the manuals and when Chloe has time to read them.)
They WISH that they could do what they just did with two keystrokes.
Shows like 24 give people a false sense of security, "Well couldn't they do BLANK if such and such happened?"
Kind of like a throw away line in the movie last night. "It took FEMA 4 days to get water to the Superdome." The issue sometimes isn't just incompetence but also failure to actually follow the plans that exist and coordinate everything.
Remember Chandra Levey? If the government really wanted to clear that up they could have run some keyhole images from the date and time of the disappearance. But that would be showing they had the power to "spy" on Americans and they don't want to tell people that they are watching us.
And the congressman who was on the committee surely must have known that if he wanted to be cleared of the charges he would just show people the images. "Here is Chandra leaving the house. Here is where she went. I was at blank during this entire time."
It could have cleared him, but at the expense of showing American' that they were being watched and reveal how much data we collect.

In Mississippip, the Bush DOJ has finally brought and won a case of voting supppression under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It should come as no surprise that the Bush White House was trying to protect white voters...
Police and witnesses described an SUV-style vehicle in flames being driven at full speed towards the building."
"Jim Manson said he saw a car "with a couple of guys in it trying to push their way into the airport terminal building."
"The vehicle "suddenly caught fire" as one of the two -- himself on fire -- tried to open up the back of the car, Manson told British television."
It's worthy of biblical-style exegesis or something. The car was BOTH being driven at full speed while in flames AND it caught fire while a burning guy(?) was opening the trunk.

It's very tempting to think that way. But I try to avoid it, both because it's an evasion of responsibility (i.e, precisely what got us into this mess in the first place), and also 'cause it seems like the left-liberal flipside of fundie judgmentarianism.

Well, that'd be the biggest and hardest step. The thinktanks etc have really done an amazing job of linking AGW and Gore.
Earlier this week, there was a pretty interesting debate on NRO's "Planet Gore," between a not-obviously-insane conservatarian and bugfuck-nuts industry shill Steven Milloy. It was kind of heartening to see the relatively sane guy say stuff like "your feelings about Al Gore and environmentalists and liberals have nothing to do with whether climate science is correct."

You mistake my point. It's not that I want to do nothing about the issues. It's that I fear nothing IS being done, and any actions beyond this point are too little too late. We have, IMO, passed the tipping point. All actions after now, are just catchups. It's not up to us now weather Climate Change occurs, it's what we do to save those caught up in the events. I fear that the worlds governments are just too cowed by the American government that nothing will ever be done.

Maybe, maybe not. But we have to take 'em regardless.
Look, I'm pretty dour about this stuff myself. But at the same time, the changes that are happening right are pretty staggering, both technologically and in terms of people's outlook. It's interesting and exciting. Yeah, we may all die anyway. But then, we may all get killed by an asteroid before the sea rises another .001 of an inch. So what?

They ones who are apathetic are sitting in the halls of our governments. Local, state and federal.

I don't buy that. And if it's true, maybe it's because they represent our own apathy...maybe the system works too well.
If you've done everything you can, hats off to you. I sure haven't.

it doesn't take much intelligence to figure out that no one will report honestly on their friends. But the dumb-as-a-stump corrupt US corporate media would never be able to figure that out - their too far up the arse of the cult of republicanism to decipher anything.

The modern sins of the media elite weren't actually unknown a century ago. When Upton Sinclair published his novel "The Jungle," editors denounced him nationwide.
Also, Robert Park in "Voodoo Science" tells about a scientist who looked into certain paranormal experiments, and found an egregious idiocy committed by the experimenter. The experimenter was discounting some negative results, asserting that they occurred because the experimental subjects were getting correct messages, but deliberately answering wrong.
So the experimenter got an average positive paranormal result. (His idea could have been legitimately tested, by comparing the spread with mathematical predictions.)
The scientist discussed the paranormal investigator's experiments with a reporter, telling about the egregious malfeasance. The following report in the newspaper only said that the scientist had looked into the paranormal experiments, and omitted any hint of the bad experimental procedure.
Consequently, the paranormalist received heavy positive exposure.
