Reply #14: Something interesting from CNN this morning [View All]

[me b zola]

As I was waking up, some time a little after 7 a.m. pacific time, CNN ran a trailer on this film. Then they had a clip of Kurtz saying how since 911 journalists have stopped questioning the powers that be. Then the two reporters at the CNN desk began making comments, with their heads almost down, essentially backing up what neo-con apologist Kurtz was saying in the clip, reflecting on the red scare and how journalists were too afraid to do their job, relating that with current events (their words were scarce & chosen, it was their body language that said it all).

I've been thinking about this all day. It blew me away to wake up to this. But then as I got up and began my day, the news kept true to the script and ran with the "terror!!!!" meme. Hmmm.
