cube321: I just wanted to ask what your opinion is as to the causes of all the support and apologetics for "our" governments'(/corporate backed) imperialism/crimes that comes out of the mainstream press? I'm also asked this question. And my answer is usually to the effect of: well, it seems to be combination of naive,'right-thiking' people getting hired for the job and then dishonest types -- the so-called "expects", be they "reporters" or the think-tank commentators, etc -- who play a more prominent role in influencing public opinion. Your thoughts? As a general rule: 'The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas.' More specifically: In every oppressor (capitalist) nation, there is a vast labor aristocracy which, directly benefiting from the (neocolonial) exploitation of the Third (even 2nd) World, ideologically moves towards a perspective which sustains their exploitation with a minimum of guilt. These, of course, are the reporters and so on. All of which corroborates your thesis. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
