funny how this isn't getting any pub, isn't it?

1. CNN is disgusting...

Pravda.

[laura888]

21. Mandated to mention Reagan every 5 seconds?

Someone at the top must have passed some kind of mandate that footage of the coffin, or at the very least, his name, is aired every 5 seconds for the next 72 hours.

And this isn't a corporate media?

[whirlygigspin]

2. great links to send to the media

3. gee......I read this book when it first came out....by a real journalist

who got FIRED for refusing to quit reporting on Iran Contra

Robert Parry is the person who FIRST brought Ollie North to the world's attention, then got canned by AP (was it UPI?) and Newsweek for refusing to give up the Iran Contra story

the Miami Herald won a Pulitzer for I/C, largely following up the trail that Parry blazed

most here know about him, but he's a sad paean to what happens to those very few journalists who buck the system, and try to let the world know what's really happening

Greg Palast, anyone?

here

WASHINGTON - On Sunday, May 5, a solemn ceremony took place in an open grassy space at Arlington National Cemetery. A small memorial stone was unveiled to honor 21 American soldiers who died in secret combat against leftist guerrillas in El Salvador. As family members wiped tears from their eyes, Salvadoran children placed tiny American flags next to the soldiers' names, unknown casualties from the 1980s.

"For too long, we have failed to recognize the contributions, the sacrifices, of those who served with distinction under the most dangerous conditions," said former U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, William G. Walker. The next day, The Washington Post focused on the human interest side of the story in a front-page piece entitled "Public Honors for Secret Combat."

But what received short-shrift amid the honors and the tears was the remarkable confirmation that for much of a decade, the Reagan-Bush administrations had conducted a secret war in which American soldiers engaged in not-infrequent combat. The 21 dead surpassed the number who died in the 1989 invasion of Panama.

Yet, the war in El Salvador was waged with hardly anyone in Congress or the national news media catching on to the U.S. combat role. Indeed, throughout the 1980s, the White House and Pentagon routinely denied that U.S. soldiers were in combat in El Salvador - and few reporters challenged the official story. Shortly after taking office in 1981, President Reagan dispatched 55 Green Beret trainers to El Salvador to teach the Salvadoran army better techniques for defeating a resilient band of Marxist-led guerrillas. For years, the Salvadoran military had been more adept at running death squads against civilian targets than at cornering an armed enemy in the country's mountainous terrain.

Lost History is largely about the Reagan admin, IIRC, with lots of stuff about current war criminals infesting the current junta, like Otto Reich, for one example

well worth reading

[LibertyorDeath]

4. Thank you for this . It's truly sickening the lengths the media is going

to Lionize Reagan.

The brain washing of America continues 24/7

I haven't watched CNN in months but I'm sure it's a non stop orgie
of partial truths & mis information.

They must be chin deep in cum over at Faux too.

[buycitgo]

5. I'm not even bothering

you should've seen PBS

even the "left" commentators had their hands under the table about what a swell guy he was

Andrew Young, I think it was, at least was honest about how horrible his philosophy/programs were, but still talked about how charming he was as a person

who the fuck CARES?????????

7. what does all this have to do with anything? here

Honduran authorities are investigating whether the torture manual allegedly used by US troops in Iraq was used in that country in the 1980s, said Minister of Defense, Federico Breve.

The functionary in charge of Human Rights, Ramon Custodio, stated that "the tortures that are used on Iraqi prisoners coincide with the hood, electroshocks, blows, and the humiliation and degradation to which prisoners in Honduras were subjected." For its part, coordinator of the Committee of Families of Disappeared Detainees of Honduras (COFADEH), Bertha Oliva, also told AFP that "those tortures which we are seeing in Iraq are from the same manual that was used in Honduras durind the application of the Doctrine of National Security by Mr. John Dimitri Negroponte."

"Negroponte (named new ambassador to Baghdad) is the same one who is now part of the application of US policy in Iraq, therefore it should not come as a surprise; and, here there are survivors of that doctrine who tell of the same tortures, the same with the former members of (Honduran military battallion) 3-16," the human rights leader emphasized.

8. Yes bush names honorary Death Squad member & former UN ambassado

Negroponte Ambassador to Iraq.

A few bad apples my ass.

These people are Evil personified IMO

[Art_from_Ark]

11. I hear that Ted Bundy was "charming" too

[RapidCreek]

12. Yep he was...

So was John Wayne Gacey...until he got you in his basement. From what I have read...most serial killers are charming folk.

What better place for a serial killer is there than Washington DC? He can enjoy the thrill of murdering millions, without lifting a finger and his charm will be warmly remembered long after he dies.

RC

[Art_from_Ark]

14. Yeah, that's one thing that pisses me off so much

about the Raygun lovefest. I was a very politically active adult during his entire two terms and was aware of the crap he was pulling off in Central America. That is one reason why I will never show even the tiniest bit of respect for the cretin.

[mopaul]

16. golly he was so charming and grandfatherly for a nazi......n/t

[Zorra]

9. Thank you. Ronald Reagan was a fascist, anti- American, corporate ass-

sucking, power hungry son of a bitch. And GW Bu$h is worse.

Let's get real. It's time for the people to take our country back from these self-serving glorified corporate bullshit artists that defile our democracy.

Fuck Reagan, fuck Bu$h, fuck Stalin, fuck Hitler, fuck Mussolini, fuck Pol Pot, fuck Mao Tse Tung, fuck Saddam, fuck Napolean, fuck Caesar, and fuck every other murderous corrupt egotistical money-loving ass-kissing power hungry self-serving son of a bitch that was more interested in their own meglomaniacal need for power than the genuine desire to do the right things for the people of this planet.

Because they are all the same.

Where have you gone, Mr. Jefferson, our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you...

No apologies for the rant or the language. It's the fucking truth and anyone with half a brain and/or a heart knows it.

[mopaul]

10. kick for the uneducated

[RapidCreek]

13. Oh come on now MoPaul

He was a murdering thug, that's true.....quite a bit more prolific than the most prolific of any American serial killer....but think how civilized and charming he was when he was orchestrating his murders. Think how civilized and charming he was while they were being commited. Think how charming he was after they were commited.

Not to mention....all those he murdered were so far away....and they were little brown folk.

RC

[mopaul]

15. so far removed from the shining city on the hill

let's let the corpse cool a bit before we desecrate it. even hitler got a few days grace period before he was called a mad dog killer.

19. ROFLMAO

Good point RapidCreek, and I suppose this is why he's not quite as bad as Bush.

If only Bush could be as charming as Reagan...

[buycitgo]

23. they weren't that far away! only a two hour drive from Harlingen!

don't you remember?

we were protecting our borders, while we transshipped all those weapons for coke back in the 80s

remember?

Just ask Mr. Memory, John Poindexter

oops, he forgot everything, didn't he?

[Vladimir]

17. Fuck Ronald Reagan

he spent the entire 80s dancing on the graves of third world countries - about time someone danced on his.

[Solon]

18. Oh yes, fuck him, but not just for that.

He had to be PULLED aside by, I forget by who, maybe the head of the CDC to talk about the AIDS epidemic and still he DID NOTHING, that worthless piece of shit.

[Vladimir]

20. Quite fitting how he died then n/t

[mopaul]

22. reagan brought the death of civility, not us..........n/t

[ArkDem]

24. Wow, those are some absolutely fantastic news sources!

[buycitgo]

25. yeah, well, all they're just the first page of each google subject

amazing how our MEDIA is completely ignoring all that stuff, particularly in the case of Negroponte

but it's EXACTLY what they did for his entire presidency

have you ever read On Bended Knee?

I keep bringing it up, but it's a comprehensive analysis of just HOW egregiously the media sucked it during his two terms in office; right from the start

here:

We have been kinder to President Reagan than any President that I can remember since I've been at the Post." So said Benjamin C. Bradlee, executive editor of The Washington Post, some four months before the November 1984 re-election of Ronald Reagan. Three years later, after the Iran-Contra affair had shattered Mr. Reagan's previous image of invincibility, I asked the legendary editor if he still stood by his statement. He did. Stressing that this was "all totally subconscious," Bradlee explained that when Ronald Reagan came to Washington in 1980, journalists at the Post sensed that "here comes a really true conservative.... And we are known-though I don't think justifiably-as the great liberals. So, we've got to really behave ourselves here. We've got to not be arrogant, make every effort to be informed, be mannerly, be fair. And we did this. I suspect in the process that this paper and probably a good deal of the press gave Reagan not a free ride, but they didn't use the same standards on him that they used on Carter and on Nixon."

Even with all that eventually went wrong-the Iran-contra scandal, the stock-market crash, the seemingly endless series of criminal investigations of former top White House officials-the overall press coverage of the Reagan administration was extraordinarily positive. It is rare indeed for public officials to express satisfaction with their press coverage-in the words of NBC News White House
correspondent Andrea Mitchell, "Politicians always say they want a fair press, when what they really want is a positive press"-but the men in charge of media and public relations in the Reagan White House were, almost unanimously, quite pleased with how their President was treated.

James Baker, White House chief of staff during the first term and Secretary of the Treasury during the second, told me, "There were days and times and events we might have some complaint about, on balance and generally speaking, I don't think we had anything to complain about in terms of first-term press coverage. "

David Gergen, former White House director of communications, confirmed shortly after leaving the administration in January 1984 that President Reagan and most of his advisers had come to believe that the basic goal of their approach to the news media-"to correct the imbalance of power with the press so that the White House will once again achieve a 'margin of safety' "- had finally been attained.
Most expansive of all was Michael Deaver, the first-term deputy chief of staff and a virtual surrogate son to the Reagans. Deaver wrote in his memoirs that up until the Iran-contra scandal broke, "Ronald Reagan enjoyed the most generous treatment by the press of any President in the postwar era. He knew it, and liked the distinction."

http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Ronald_Reagan/On_Bended_Knee.html

my favorite quote:

"The whole thing was PR. This was a PR outfit that became President and took over the country. And to the degree then to which the Constitution forced them to do things like make a budget, run foreign policy and all that, they sort of did. But their first, last, and overarching activity was public relations."
--Leslie Janka, a deputy White House press secretary under Reagan

26. more from Robert Parry.....on the death squads, among other niceties

With release of truth commission reports in several Central American countries - most recently Guatemala - there can no longer be any doubt about the historical reality.

In the 1980s, U.S.-backed forces committed widespread massacres, political murders and torture. Tens of thousands of civilians died. Many of the dead were children. Soldiers routinely raped women before executing them.

There can be no doubt, too, that President Reagan was an avid supporter of the implicated military forces, that he supplied them with weapons and that he actively sought to discredit human rights investigators and journalists who exposed the crimes.

It is also clear that the massacres at El Mozote and other villages across El Salvador, the destruction of more than 600 Indian communities in Guatemala, and the torture and "disappearances" of dissidents throughout the region were as horrible as what Slobadan Milosevic's Serb army has done in Kosovo.
