The Myth of the Liberal Media
Jeff Cohen
One of the central tenets of contemporary political discourse is that the media are liberal. Well-paid pundits from wealthy conservative foundations and think tanks produce a steady drumbeat alleging liberal bias. What’s curious about this view is that there’s virtually no evidence to support it. The media are owned by a few large corporations. They […]
Breaking the Sound Barrier
Amy Goodman
Corporate control of print, TV, and radio poses serious problems for the communication needs of a democratic society. Without a broad spectrum of information and perspectives citizens are offered narrow choices on critical public issues. For example, discussions on Iran are limited to one guest saying, “Why wait? Let’s attack now and get it over […]
Civil Rights Under Attack
Julian Bond
It’s less than 40 years since the end of legal segregation in the United States. But the hard won victories of the 1960’s civil rights movement are at risk today. From Jim Crow to John Ashcroft, the struggle continues. The Bush Administration, led by Attorney General Ashcroft, is wielding broad new powers under the Patriot […]
The Path to Peace in Global Society
Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso)
No keynote address from Tenzin Gyatso (His Holiness the Dalai Lama) is without a jaw dropping shocker to contemplate. In this speech, the humble monk and professed Marxist says that meditation and prayer are not practical solutions, and that action is more important than prayer. He appeals to all for more action to address injustices, […]

Iran: All Options on the Table

George W. Bush proclaimed, “The action and policies of the Government of Iran continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.” That was part of executive order Bush issued extending the national emergency with respect to Iran. The leaders in Washington and those […]

2 CDs One of the all time great Chomsky talks. He discusses the Salman Rushdie case and the mega merger between Time and Warner. He connects the two by relating an incident he had with a Warner publishing subsidiary. He and Edward Herman had written a book, Counter-Revolutionary Violence.

Oil, Power, and Empire
Larry Everest
Throughout history, wars have been started for many reasons: wealth, power, politics, religion and love, to name a few. Recent conflicts are no exception, with oil being the paramour in the battle and occupation of Iraq. But does it make sense to wage war to control a commodity that is finite? With oil supplies predicted […]
Imperialism & the New World Order
George Galloway
It was Bush the Elder who proudly proclaimed “a New World Order” after the First Gulf War. Some at the time expressed skepticism saying it was the old world order dressed up in new clothes. It was imperialism in the guise of globalization. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S. was the sole […]
