In only 18 months we've gone from a president who worked with the profiteers, to the profiteers themselves.

What a difference!

It's like night and day.
So say the wingers.
So say all of us.

At least we're agreed on one thing in this country...

Re: the media messages
In today's paper on the famine in Ruwanda, the story is one thing, reported in dry statistics. The picture goes even further. It is of a big-bellied toddler squatting with hands on the ground, looking like some kind of wild non-human animal.

MWO successfully exposes a lot of the content and traces the pundits logic and propaganda. What I haven't found is a source for the media analysis of the type McLuhan warned against, among others, where images and subtext are jammed into various channels, with specific results, and surprise! a policy announcement.

Any ideas are most welcome
