Myrln, who sometimes leaves comments on my posts, is a long-time friend in the real world. He’s not a blogger, but he certainly “gets” the importance of using the Internet for citizen empowerment. And he sends great emails to keep poking at the butts of those trying to manipulate us into believing what Dumbya wants us to believe. Here are his latest two. You might want to do the same.

Since you took DeGenova to task on AM, how about doing the same for the NYPost which suggested in yesterday's lead editorial that maybe we needed another Kent State to quiet protestors? Or won't you because you're war-mongers-in-arms? You folks don't even make a pretense of objective reporting. You're a propaganda arm of the current administration. You might at least entertain us by bringing on more administrative folks from Washington for Zahn to lick their balls. That's how infuriating you people have become

So, the lesson to be learned from your firing of Peter Arnett is this: so long as you shovel out government propaganda, you can work for us. Have an opinion to the contrary, and you're history. I wasn't sure before, but I am now: you are indeed a propaganda and public relations arm of the current administration with no interest in factual, objective reporting no matter where it leads. All day, every day, I hear OPINIONS that favor the U.S. point of view, and no one gets fired for that. You are hacks, nbc and msnbc, a disgrace to the world of journalism. Thankfully, we have bloggers out there who give us the whole and real story. They make you look like the flaks you are.
He alse sent me this link to www.newyorker.com, commenting that it is an
Article by Seymour Hersh re Rumsfeld's micromanaging...which of course the latter denies doing.
