The centralization of ownership of the private media in the United States and elsewhere has become increasingly pronounced, at the same time that its reporting has become increasingly one-sided and monolithic. My blog seeks to expose this lack of objectivity and present alternative ideas that point in the direction of much-needed fundamental change.

HEAVEN FORBID THAT BERNIE SANDERS SAID SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT CUBA
Sanders
praised Cuba for its literacy campaign that taught 700,000 Cubans to read and
write. True to form, the mainstream media quotes experts in Miami, such as Democratic
Rep. Donna Shalala, who claim that Sanders is praising “a murderous tyrant like
Fidel Castro.” I wonder what Shala and others would be saying if Sanders had
referred to other important breakthroughs of the Cuban government such as in
the area of health. And she’d probably go berserk if Sanders had pointed out
that the 60-year embargo imposed by the U.S. has something to do with Cuba’s
economic difficulties.
