Noam Chomsky: "The U.S. and Its Allies Will Do Anything to Prevent Democracy in the Arab World"

[calybe]

AMY GOODMAN: We turn now to the 25th anniversary of FAIR, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, the media watch group in New York, which just celebrated the 25 years of the reports they’ve come out, documenting media bias and censorship, and scrutinized media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints.

I give Chomsky props (i wuz linguisticks majur) but he does have a tendency to see the world through poop-colored glasses quite a bit.

I do think he's generally right, though. I don't think EVERY TIME we're horrible piece-of-shit opportunists.

...just most of the time.

If you didn't have a chance to see or listen to the event, here's a link to download the speeches from Amy Goodman, Noam Chomsky, Glenn Greenwald, and Michael Moore. The quality is alright, just annoying when they're clapping or somebody near the mic is whispering. I donated $100 to the pacifica drive and should be getting the DVD of the event soon. I loved the speeches that much and want to make sweet lovin' to Glenn Greenwald's mind.

it freed up Israel to expand its operations-illegal operations-in the Occupied Territories and to attack its northern neighbor, to attack Lebanon

I wish this line was at the beginning of the article so I could stop reading then. yes, Israel attacked Lebanon in the 80s for no reason, out of boredom. I just can't.
