4. Great article, calimary!
We aren't living in the U.S.A. of our grandparents.



From your article:

"I think it's a very legitimate allegation," said CBS News' Katie Couric. "I think it's one of the most embarrassing chapters in American journalism.

"And I think there was a sense of pressure from corporations who own where we work and from the government itself to really squash any kind of dissent or any kind of questioning of it," Couric added. "I think it was extremely subtle but very, very effective."

"(C)orporations who own where we work." Hah. They also "own who works there." So, I won't hold my breath waiting for Katie to write her memoires.

I've been steamed at Corporate McPravda for a long time, my Friend:

JFK: How the Media Assassinated the Real Story

We've learned a lot more since that was first published, such as the FBI memos linking Poppy to Dallas. And zero of it has made it on to the pages of The New York Times or aired on ABCNNBCBSFauxNoiseNutwork.
