Media coverage - a "History-Free Zone"
"FAIR commentator and media watcher Norman Solomon commented that many of the same people who were now calling for a ``war against terrorism'' and anyone who might support it (including many of the analysts who were appearing as talking heads and op-ed columnists) were themselves involved in assisting terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, when such efforts were official, if then-secret U.S. policy. ``How can a long-time associate of terrorists now be credibly denouncing `terrorism?'|'' he asks. ``It's easy. All that is required is for media coverage to remain in a kind of history-free zone that has no use for facets of reality that are not presently convenient to acknowledge.''

Even tho' this is sensationalist, it's worth reading.

Go back and read the quotes from Mr. Moon - his intent has been control of US politics through media power.

If he's stated it, good for him and kudos for his honesty.
What about the rest of them?

If you're so naive as to believe that the rest of them do it for profit or altruism, you're nuts. Just look at the financials. It's purely a political power game.
