Dear Friends, It's easy to blame the "media" in US for much of our problems, but being the wife of a ex investigative journalist I have come to understand that the media is not what you think. First of all, this country hasn't supported real journalism in more than a decade. And not everything is skewed just to sell products, (although I have often said there should be a special place in hell for advertisers). I think more of it is skewed to the political machine and it' own brand of hypnotism, strong arming and out and out manipulation.
Curtis and I lived in Texas during the s&l crisis, which he investigated at his own expense by reading public records and other tedious chores. No one would publish his findings that 500 billion or so in funds were missing from our s & l's. No one in Texas but a tiny little austin paper would even publish his findings at all. When the rich and powerful are involved, you bet they're going to be in charge of the flow of information. Get ready for an avalanche of emotional pornography to come our way now as we line up to the 911 runway. Not real news.
