I like what this guy is doing. A truly independent force of journalists - really LOUD ones - is exactly what we need.
The Haiti coup, more than being military or the result of a simulated "rebel" band of paramilitaries, was a media show.
And let's be honest: we - the authentic journalists - got our clocks cleaned.
We weren't ready.
The bad guys won.
A lot of how they won was in the terms they propagated through the wire services and Commercial Media, and by causing some slow-class types to adopt their terminology about "democracy" and "dictatorship," etc.
In any case, as readers here know, I don't like to lose. And in this case, I don't accept the defeat as permanent. So the question is, how to push back, and how to, next time, not be in a position to be pushed.http://www.bigleftoutside.com/archives/000375.php
