What I appreciate most about Beck is his complete omission of class-based politics in the U.S. This omission can certainly be labeled Orwellian not least because it would likely have baffled Orwell himself. Since we are obviously...

I really enjoyed this talk, most of all because after the analysis of the situation there is a very clear plan as to what we can do about it in an organized way. I also feel Phyllis' frustration with the "laundry list of demands" issue, ...

Unfortunately, the situation resembles George Orwell’s 1984. A day ago Noam Chomsky has written “Democratic societies rely not on force but on propaganda, engineering consent by “necessary illusion” and &l...

In fairness to my argument, I don't think it's an either or as the writer above suggests. The explicit argument made in my last book is that corporate media artificially restrict views to those agreed to by the corporate friendly Dem-Rep par...

Whitesell: Corporate circle of logic?

The framework of this article bothers me. It seems to reflect a closed, corporate circle of logic. The corporate media condition the public's mind by selectivity of topics, suppression of others, framing of issues that are selected, etc., and then...

Again, "progressive" has become a kind of "posturing placeholder" on the political spectrum, such as it is. You get to imply you're not "mainstream," but distance from the left. When push comes to shove, "progres...

I agree that the label "progressive" is becoming counterproductive, sadly, for the left. I hold writers like Alterman with much distaste, as he's a liability if there ever was one for a genuine left movement to change America....

"Progressive," at this point, is an ideologically loaded and preverted term, although the history of the term from the early 20th century is also complicated and not always flattering to its progenitors. "Progressive" has becom...
