-- Wall Street banksters looting the federal treasury;
-- a private banking cartel controlling the nation's money;
-- unmet human needs and increasing poverty, hunger, homelessness, and despair for growing millions in a nation run by rogue politicians who don't give a damn as long as they're re-elected;
-- a de facto one-party state;
-- deep corruption at the highest government and corporate levels;
-- democracy for the select few alone;
-- sham elections; and
-- a deepening social decay symptomatic of a declining state, yet The Times management won't use its clout to expose and help reverse it.
Of course, the same applies throughout the corporate media, the only variance being audience size, the ability to influence it, and the special impact of TV news and talk radio to arouse their faithful. Plus their power of round-the-clock persuasive repetition.
Examples of Journalism, New York Times Style
After a Washington staged February 29, 2004 middle-of-the-night coup ousted democratically elected Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, The Times March 1 editorial lied by:
-- stating he resigned;
-- saying sending in Marines to abduct him "was the right thing to do;"
-- claiming they only came after "Mr. Aristide yielded power;"
-- blaming him for "contribut(ing) significantly to his own downfall (because of his) increasingly autocratic and lawless rule....;" and
-- accusing him of manipulating the 2000 legislative elections and not "deliver(ing) the democracy he promised."
