I’m sick of consolidated corporate media bowing to the dollar while the country goes to hell for a lack of information. For hours MSNBC ran this headline (It’s also the current cover of Newsweek (in the U.S. at least)):
I ranted about this already on my art blog, but I think there’s reason enough to repeat:
Right now, the U.S. is preparing to knock down the already tottering Jenga tower of international stability in order to score strategy points and barrels of oil in the Middle East as the collective jaw of the scientific community drops before the staggering evidence that man made climate change is going to radically transform our planet. Right now, damning evidence in the Libby trial seems to implicate both the vice-president and the president. But, right now, Newsweek thought it would be great to instead keep alive the age-old premise that failing to meet some standard of purity makes one a “bad-girl.”
If they market it the right way, shouldn’t the climate crisis and the rise of fascism in the United States make for some decent cover stories? I just don’t get it.
