The nationalism bias of journalists - Glenn... →
“America’s ‘establishment media’ is properly described as such precisely because their overarching objective is to promote and defend establishment interests in what they report to — and conceal from — their readers. That’s precisely why so many people are increasingly turning to other outlets that are emancipated from those biases — foreign media, the Internet, whistle-blowing...

Blasingame Notes:
Europe’s handling the revolutions in northern Africa plays out much the same as the United States’. Geopolitics and Trans-national corporate interests first. Democracy is generally a secondary concern for the West, as it makes the exploitation of natural and human resources all the more troublesome.
Some Highlights:
“Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini...

“A child a day dies in war-related violence in Afghanistan. Children die in roadside explosions. They die in airstrikes. They die after militants lure them to carry suicide bombs, usually without their knowledge. They die in firefights. They are executed by the Taliban after being accused, sometimes correctly, of spying for the Afghan National Army. They are tiny pawns in a futile and...

Becoming comical? I’ve been following the Wisconsin labor protests since day one. The comedy has been on full display throughout.
Mr. Breitbart was effectively silenced when he came to Madison to speak to the approximately 50 jackasses who showed up to argue against their own self-interest. So, he just packs up, goes back to the safety of his hate-palace and makes up a bunch of bullshit,...

Behind the Arab revolt is a word we dare not speak →
“The revolt in the Arab world is not merely against a resident dictator but a worldwide economic tyranny designed by the US Treasury and imposed by the US Agency for International Development, the IMF and World Bank, which have ensured that rich countries like Egypt are reduced to vast sweatshops, with half the population earning less than $2 a day.”
-John Pilger

“In contrast, Governor Walker’s position is tantamount to saying, ‘I won’t give you what you want today, and I forbid you to ask for it—ever.’ Even after unions have offered concessions on all the Governor’s budgetary demands, he persists in saying the unions’ rights must be curtailed. But how can a budget crisis be resolved by forbidding conversation and negotiation?”

Egypt's protest dispersed by force - Middle East →
The protesters are right to demand the full removal of Mubarak’s loyalists from the cabinet. The army has overreacted in this case. A post facto apology from the supreme council of the armed forces means very little compared to the symbolism of their violence against peaceful civil disobedience.
