It doesn’t surprise. Times editors, columnists and contributors reflect what famed investigative journalist/critic George Seldes (1890 – 1995) called “prostitutes of the press.”
They feature managed news misinformation. They suppress what readers most need to know. They support wealth, power and privilege. They oppose popular interests.
They call imperial wars liberating ones. They say business does things better than government so let it. They claim America’s beautiful. They say it’s the best of all possible worlds.
They call beneficial social change heresy. They say patriotism requires supporting US policies right or wrong. They believe liberties are subverted for our own good.
No wonder they’re losing subscribers. Readers wanting facts reject fiction. They reject managed news misinformation substituting for truth and full disclosure.
They reject cover up and denial. They reject distortion. They reject wrongheaded views. They reject bald-faced lies. They reject supporting wrong over right.
Times editors want Edward Snowden held accountable. They want Russia to extradite him. They want him to stand trial. They want him punished for doing the right thing. Full story...
