That’s why I stick to the BBC

by Posted on

” Imagine if a police officer were stationed in front of the hospital room of a key witness in a criminal trial, in order to protect the witness from attack, but instead, the officer fell asleep or wondered off to watch TV and, as a result, the defendant’s associates were able to enter the room and murder the witness.  Asking establishment journalists if they favor investigations and prosecutions of Bush crimes is like asking that police officer whether he favors an investigation and consequences for what happened or whether he instead prefers that the whole thing just be forgotten and everyone look instead to the future.  People who bear culpability in the commission of destructive and criminal acts always oppose investigations and accountability — i.e., what they’ll call “looking backwards” or “retribution.”  They’re the last people whose opinions we ought to be seeking on that question. ” – Salon.com

  1. @JB – Interesting interest in US politics…well to be fair, you spread it out a bit, but still…

    That US media was/is a major player and very culpable for the Bush-era crimes, but, lets face it noone is going to face anything closely resembling an investigation for anything that happened during GW’s tenure…
    This is not about logic or ethics but simply about them doing what they do because they have the military and economic power to do so…

  3. oh, on the topic, finally got my hands on Zeitgeist Movie 1, 2 and 3…
    Interesting take on Preston, GH and GW Bush and their predilection for profitable conflict…
    And on the complicity of the main media in furthering the interests of “the men behind the curtain” in US politics…..

  5. Its a free distribution, 2-hr, three-part doccie with an alternative take on world affairs;

    Part 1 – the “truth” about religion;

    Part 2 – the “truth” about 9/11, and other incidents and wars

    Part 3 – the “truth” about, US central bank, global media, US government, US capitalists and who controls the US….and has designs on the world.

    Its best watched… shall ensure a copy gets into your hands after this weekend…
