It is also hard to find the time to read a whole book on any issue, even though important for a citizen's political self-education, but, I think that this is the time and this -- the irresponsibility of news media on its failure to cover the calls to action as outlined in the NeoCon manifesto -- is the issue that will compel me and others to purchase the $10 or so book.<BR/><BR/>And the former Nightline host, Ted Koppel, should be ashamed over his failure to do an expiatory last show, perhaps titled "Had We Been Had and/or Was It My Failure Too?" and then do a self-analytical exposition of his own bad coverage of the drawings of the Mobile Bio Labs, the Plame smear and the implication of exposing this expert on Iran while pushing for war with that country, this, by interviewing bona fide media luminaries like David Korn, Greg Palast, or that logician instead of trotting out the usual list of laughingstock generals and Rightwingers employed to big media who refused to speak on the advisability /legality of kicking out the inspectors and then invading Iraq. <BR/><BR/>Why Koppel did not do such a show is a tragedy that I will not completely understand. He let me down and left his failure unanswered.Chatteristanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638972294730690318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-92072401781597690372008-03-16T23:56:00.000-04:002008-03-16T23:56:00.000-04:00If this monograph contains actual quotes from self...If this monograph contains actual quotes from self-anointed pundits cheer leading the invasion and occupation, with dates and sources, it will be of tremendous help to me in completing my <A HREF="http://what-flavor-is-your-kool-aid.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Kool-Aid menu</A>.Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.com
