[Peace-discuss] WaPo: how Pete B. went from war protester to war veteran

[C G Estabrook]

I’m going to feature Robinson’s stuff on Buttigieg on AWARE ON THE AIR tomorrow, while the WaPo-faced MSM is featuring his war record…

The political establishment as usual is frightened that peace may break out and constrain the pro-war-provocation/pro-concentration-of-wealth policies that have been the mainstay of all recent administrations.

PS - I had the pleasure of knowing Stone slightly, long ago and far away. A great man - requiescat in pace.

She later admitted that she is also against federally-forced busing, the exact same position as Biden. The TV media are rewarding favored candidates for shallow posturing. The NYT and WaPo race to catch up. Not that I love the NYT and WaPo; I hate them too. But compared to the TV "news" they are I.F. Stone.
