[Peace-discuss] horrible journalism

[Carl Estabrook]

If you have a strong stomach, tune in to (or tape) C-Span 2 at 10:55am for
Lally Weymouth, introduced as a Newsweek journalist, in a repeat of this
morning's call-in show, primarily about the Middle East.  The most obvious
propaganda lies are offered as insight.  You can see why the current issue
of Newsweek has a cover story "Can Israel Survive?" [sic].  (I'm not sure
if the program mentions that Weymouth is the daughter of Katherine Graham,
who owned Newsweek and the Washington Post.)  In dismay, CGE

  "There are no magic answers, no miraculous methods to
  overcome the problems we face, just the familiar ones:
  honest search for understanding, education, organization, 
  action that raises the cost of state violence for its 
  perpetrators or that lays the basis for institutional change
  -- and the kind of commitment that will persist despite the 
  temptations of disillusionment, despite many failures and
  only limited successes, inspired by the hope of a brighter 
  future."      --Noam Chomsky
