THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"This use of the government of all for the enrichment and aggrandizement of few is a revolution.... These sovereign powers ... have been given by you and me, all of us, to our government to be used only for the common and equal benefit. Given by all to be used by all, it is a revolution to have made them the perquisite of a few."-- Henry Demarest Lloyd. 1890s

 

IS THE US CORPORATE MEDIA RACIST?

Of course, I might have missed something here. Maybe there is another reason that the American Corporate media thinks that Iran hijacking boats in their own territorial waters is a major news story while Israel hijacking a boat in international waters is not. And if that is true; if there really is a reason why the two stories are being treated differently, I welcome any member of the corporate media to call into my radio show and explain it to me.

Because until they do, I think we have no choice left but to conclude that the difference in coverage between the two stories is that the American Corporate Media just don't like black people!

And of course we can't have our FIRST BLACK President....

justice

standing up for a FELLOW BLACK AMERICAN CITIZEN AND CONGRESSPERSON(Cynthia) because then his 'nice white' racist/zionist 'friends' will accuse him of supporting Malcolm X or the Black Panthers or the Muslim Brotherhood or something else EQUALLY outrageous!
Instead of standing up for SUFFERING OPPRESSED PEOPLES!
You know,that great AMERICAN VALUE?

As they say in the Arab world Barack,
You have just "blackened your face"(LOST FACE/HONOR).

more than the black it is already.
Just my humble white secular Christian opinion,and I voted for you.
Hey,but there are no color,ethnic boundaries when it comes to honorable principles right?

Really ? But Michael Jackson dying is 24/7 splashed across all

the screens, and can't be evaded except by turning it off altogether. Yes, he looked white, but everyone knew otherwise.

So, how would it look across all major media were we to see the headline;

`Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney detained by Israel`.

Firstly, i would proffer that most Americans do not know of her, and it would have a lot to do with her stance on human rights issues which are at variance to Israel's, which is why she has been ousted by the Zionists from her Congressional seat with minimal publicity.

Secondly, i suspect such a headline would attract a lot of curiosity as to what could that woman have possibly done, as female members of Congress don't misbehave, unlike their male counterparts.

Thirdly, that would result in sacred Israel, America's bestest friend and ally, being required to publicly explain why it has to hijack a vessel in international waters bringing crayons to the kiddies in Gaza.
