I have added you as well. I am also getting tired of all those reactionaries who say the US is "fascist". They are LUCKY enough to truly never learn what it is <i>really</i> like to live under fascism. Their hyperbole is nothing more than amusing to say the least. <b>Flanders</b>, I agree we are under a leftist media if you look at the entire picture. That's why it's best when anybody watches the news to keep one eye open, and the other one skeptical. If you don't watch the news with a grain of salt, you're as moronic as the biased media itself. I also don't think that we're as "brainwashed" as the rest of the world likes to believe that we are. Is it just that critical thinking is not being encouraged or taught anymore? I remember when I was in college: We were encouraged to ask questions, we were called upon for answers, we were forced to think and challenge ideas. This makes me wonder about the education systems abroad as it appears that so many people think ALIKE. I am amazed as I had always thought that their education was "better". I don't know, though. Maybe someone can give me a heads up on this? Seane, Thank you for adding me to your blogroll. I have added you as well.

Very informative and thought out. I especially like the last line. Just how many other countries would allow a Michael Moore type to smear it all over the world? Answer: not many. Yet, in every country that would NOT allow a Michael Moore type to exist within its borders there are people who're convinced that America is a fascist state. Go figure.

This has hardened the lines. It is true Americans, those who are the truly diverse and includes the varying shades of gray from reactionaries to traditional liberal, who are marginalized to the sidelines while the leftist messages continue unabated. Those messages are carried by a TransNational network of media and other leftists as well as by legitimate popular culture. An example of the latter is illustrated in the post, at Sayet Right, "Born in the USA--Why Springsteen endorsed Obama". http://www.evansayet.com/blogframeset.htm It is the majority in America, that coalition which is not an organized and represented cadre, which are all dominated and led by the corporate leftist media oligarchy.
