1. very well argued

preaching to the choir here but very well argued for those who may have doubts.

2. Sure. There are however some DUers who abide the right's talking points

3. this is a very concise overview of how the RW noise machine works

and as long as the dems continue to play along, they will continue to lose. There are only a few people who can effectively counter this tactic. If more dems could learn to counter this effectively, we might start to make some progress. However, as long as they continue to play by these rules, and MOST in the dem leadership positions do, the truth will never see the light of day in a mainstream context.

The sad part is the counter is actually very simple: you do not allow bogus statements such as "the media has a liberal bias" to enter into the dialog. That is a patently false assertion. If the dem leadership would simply react in this manner, it would dramatically change the topography of the discussion.

6. The Dems aren't liberal either!

As Chomsky well points out, the Dems are
just the other wing of the Business Party.

7. Exactly

8. I agree with you

I was just trying to avoid side-tracking the point of the video. You're right, though, the vast majority of the dems in leadership positions are not liberal at all.

9. Or more to the point, may likely not be if willing to support monstrous, anti-liberal systems

The point being that the individuals subjective views are irrelevant in determining business/sociopolitical policies.

11. True, but we keep supporting the Dem party

because they're the 'lesser of two evils.'

what choice do we have?

4. Corporate Media has a Corporate Agenda, not a Liberal One

Always follow the money... who owns the media? Thank you....

5. Enlightening.

Chomsky is a great man. The way he explains the
machinations of the business party and the elite-
biased media is fantastic!
