Discovery channel outsourcing show is propaganda |
|
Watch out, there is a mass propaganda movement this week to try to convince the American people that somehow losing one's job, savings, home is "good for America".
Friedman is running a propaganda campaign on all news networks and a show on the discovery channel.
The idea that we grow a middle class abroad has been refuted repeatedly by world leading thinkers in analysis and the statistics back up Tonelson and others. (see my signature for more info) All that's going on is slave labor and decimation of the middle class in the US as well as world-wide.
Please write in to the NYTimes to show your disgust as well as the discovery channel.

9. the NYT columnist? He can be so good, yet so stupid... |

Thanks to the OP for pointing out this new front in the propaganda wars. For every Michael Moore there are twenty prep school "documentarians" that will whore to the highest bidder. Of course the corporate media will give them airtime and "awards".

2. he was on The Daily Show |
|
w/ Jon last night. He is one f**king idiot. I don't know what his problems was....but he kept giggling and jerking himself around like he could barely contain his own hilarity. Jon was as perplexed as the audience. After his lame-ass job of propping up squatter's policies and gushing about the endless advantages of outsourcing, I knew I wasn't watching anything (let alone reading any NYT piece) w/ that ass's name attached 2 it.

I couldn't stand him last night on the Daily show. I wish is was Lou Dobs interviewing him last night, he would have beat him down.

5. The smug turd was on Terri Gross today. |
|
Friedman went on about how it was good for the economy, not necessarily the workers here, blah blah blah. Said that Dell computers were manufactured in China, but the profits and big bucks went to the stockholders and the CEO and his! top management team. What a schmuck.
But wait, there's more: Friedman backtracked like Winston Smith's boss making out that he wasn't just in favor of the Iraq Invasion, he was in favor of doing it RIGHT. Bush and the rest did it wrong. So don't put words in his mouth, or whatever. A sissy. What a greasy, self-righteous turdball.

We should be glad all american jobs are being sent overseas. Unemployment is freedom, and if you are against outsourcing, than you are against 'murika. It makes me so sad to think that if these jobs were here, than the execs and the folks in the board room could not afford their summer houses.

8. So much that has been on Discovery in the past year has been |
|
propaganda. Think about all the war specials they have done on Afghanistan and on the search for Osama and the conquest of Baghdad, etc.. None of them ring true.
