Victoria Nuland - Madame Strangelove
If CNN, MSNBC, and FOX were by some miracle to provide Americans with in depth, truthful analysis, instead of drivel geared for fourth graders, it would look like this...

"Ukraine: "Go West, Young Man" (or Dr. Strangelove's Revenge)"
"What would Dick Cheney (or President Obama for that matter) have done if Russian NGOs sponsored separatist movements in Texas, California or New England? How would US police have reacted against armed revolutionaries seizing the armory and throwing Molotov cocktails and bombs at public buildings, killing police, painting swastikas on Jewish houses and claiming vigilante justice? While this does not characterize all of the Ukrainian protesters, it does reflect a fair number of them. If this is Obama's "reset" with Russia, he is resetting the Cold War by setting the neocons loose in the former Soviet republics. If there is one thing that the CIA has shown its competence in, it is in setting one ethnic group against the others - Sunni vs Shiite, Kurd against Arab, Persian against them all. When other countries seek to defend a multi-ethnic secular state, the US foreign office has backed the fundamentalists for nearly the past half-century in all cases. This should be the sub-text for reporting on the Ukrainian uprising that seems to have been carefully timed to coincide with Sochi."
"Yanukovych is the kind of kleptocrat that neoliberals promised would enrich the post-Soviet states, except he committed the unforgivable sin of refusing to implement an EU/US-counseled austerity program. The aim is to transfer public wealth into the hands of private individuals who will be steered by the "Invisible Hand" (that of the sponsors of today's color revolutions) to seek their gains by selling what they have taken to Western investors. Finance is the new mode of warfare, and we are seeing a grab for what military invasions in times past aimed at: land, natural resources and infrastructure monopolies."

I'm tired of the insult to my intelligence that is corporate media. I'm tired of listening to the advertisements of their "sponsors" (owners, big pharma, Bank of America, B.P., etc) blasting on raised volume between 5 minute segments that somehow are supposed to give me the awareness and information that, as a voter, I need to make intelligent choices.
I'm tired of the jingoism, I'm tired of the blindness, I'm tired of the myopic one trick ponies screaming about how it all revolves around them, refusing to see past their own nose, and there is nothing else to consider.
"She has cookies for us"!!!
= new reply since forum marked as read
I wish I had the answer, perhaps another D.U.er might.

The former head of the National Security Agency was the victim of an eavesdropping campaign himself, when a blogger overheard him on a train briefing against the Obama administration, and then wrote about it on Twitter.
Michael Hayden, who also once headed the CIA, was talking on his mobile phone after boarding a train to Newark, New Jersey, from Washington. He was giving an interview to journalists “on background”, whereby he would be quoted as a “former senior administration official”, when Tom Matzzie overheard him and immediately divulged the best bits on Twitter.
