As I Expected: They Were All in Sync Like a Swiss Time Piece
NPR, the Washington Post, the NYT, etc., all got their knickers in a knot this weekend, blaring out the message.
The message of the propaganda matrix: RUSSIA BAD / GEORGIA GOOD. (Repeat)
It's simple. It's easy to remember. It requires no thought. It's effortless.
Bonus: it's a time-tested, time-proven formula. Does anyone remember the old hits, RUSSIA BAD / UKRAINE GOOD, or SERBIA BAD / KOSOVO GOOD? Why, it's like 2+2=4, or Einstein's E=MC(squared). Except here E=Reality, M=Mainstream Media Mendacity, and C(squared)=people's credulity raised to the 2nd power.
And besides, if NPR, the WaPo, the NYT, the BBC, etc., said it--well, it follows, logically, that it must be true!
God, I feel so good, since NPR, the WaPo, the NYT, the BBC, etc. are all saying it!
Case closed. The last one to leave, please turn out the lights.
My name is Matthew Murrey and I'm from Florida, but have been living in the Midwest since 1984. I started this blog because no one else was blogging NPR's drift toward the right - and it made more sense than yelling at the radio.
"Q Tips" is an open thread post where you can place general comments or brief notes about NPR.
Comment Guidelines
I make every effort not to interfere with comments - BUT I will generally delete violent, gratuitously vulgar, or obscene posts. I realize it can be a subjective judgment call. Even when you're really angry, try to play nice.
