From your article link <<So when a demonstrably mendacious leader claims he “passionately believed” in a lie, the media has to take him at his word. This is the same brand of journalistic gullibility that has had such tragic consequences for the people of Iraq. This is the endless, uncritical obedience to power that boosted the warmongering agenda of London and Washington, allowing them to fit ‘facts’ to a pre-ordained policy of launching a war of aggression. Such an act, sold by the BBC as Blair’s “passionate belief”, is the supreme international crime, as judged by the 1946 Nuremberg Tribunal.
And a similar tragic fate may yet befall the people of Iran, if the corporate media portrayal of Iran as a rogue state lorded over by “ruling mullahs”, desperate to get their hands on nuclear weapons, goes unchallenged.>>
Fact: the obeisance of our Media to Whitehouse Propaganda is a voluntary action of intimate cooperation with the Propaganda Machine of the "Let's Get Iran because they are Evil and We(The West-U.S./Israel) are Good".
The talking head anchors may, some of them, be stupid as slugs, the copy they get to read is formulated at the top, and that top is in alliance with what the U.S.
This covers more than FP, Bernanke's appearance on 60 minutes was obviouly orchestrated by the Whitehouse and the ultra softball way he was handled was all agreed upon.
i will later post a response to David Harris by Roger Cohen, in the NYRB, as Harris IMMEDIATELY attacked Roger Cohen's article in the NYRB "Eyeless in Gaza".
And the NYRB, nervous nellies(can't upset AIPAC), published David Harris'es letter, which Cohen then attacked.
He went beyond Gaza, but the attacked the systematic SMEAR CAMPAIGN against Iran.
This Roger Cohen matter is getting interesting as he is on the NYT staff.
He(Roger Cohen) has been writing things AGAINST NYT's standard prejudices and this must be OUTRAGING AIPAC to loyalist at NYT and to AIPAC as well.
Roger Cohen has TRANGRESSED against the Propaganda of Israel, how long before he is quietly removed from the NYT staff??? Max
