Dear Chuck, Many thanks for your interest and kind words; I am flattered by your inclusion of me on such a list. I will look into Bishara as a result of what you write here. I do think - based chiefly on what I see in audiences around the country responding to my analyses - that the invisibility you speak of is breakdown and quickly.

Richard Wolff ---------- I certainly hope so. There is now quite a list which obviously includes you. I've been thinking about this for sometime. I think about David Harvey, Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, Cory Robin, Michael Hudson, Charles Ferguson, Michael Moore, William Black, Julian Assange, Matt Taibbi, Tariq Ali, Marwan Bishara, Juan Cole, and a list on Counterpunch... Marwan Bishara is probably not as well known. He is the most invisible of the invisible Arabs. He is a Palestinian born in Israel. He hosts Empire on AJE and is their senior political analyst. Here is a talk he gave about his book, The Invisible Arab: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/304501-1 After breathless nights watching AJE live in Cairo, I discovered exactly this strange fact. Egypt made the invisible Arab visiable. I usually check out Democracy Now and Bill Moyers to see if they have somebody interesting and they often do. Also of course Behind the News, AJE and RT. France 24 has some pretty good Debates and Interviews but tend to be Euro bullshit when it comes to economic news. They are all playing hot potato. There is a whole international intellectual class who have put together a world view that has been rendered invisible by the mainstream media for a long time. So that invisibility maybe breaking down for more people... CG
