Brought to you by the Ford Foundation and Archer Daniels Midland. NPR and NYT are never around to blow the lid off current massacres. They seem to believe that a whitewash job, dumping facts down the memory hole, months, years or decades later vindicating the "winners" in massacres, is all that needs to be done. Give me Democracy Now and Taking Aim any day over these corporate media mouthpieces. Thanks for the great new blog, FAIR! National Propaganda Radio strikes again. Brought to you by the Ford Foundation and Archer Daniels Midland.

NPR and NYT are never around to blow the lid off current massacres. They seem to believe that a whitewash job, dumping facts down the memory hole, months, years or decades later vindicating the "winners" in massacres, is all that needs to be done.

Give me Democracy Now and Taking Aim any day over these corporate media mouthpieces.

Thanks for the great new blog, FAIR!

"How the New York Times Blew My Lai"

You know … words are important.

Duh.

So when the corpress is said to have "blown" something (other than smoke), it gives the impression of an honest, if incompetent, mistake having been made … rather than a wilful attempt to conceal the truth.
