... the Reagan people were using this phrase, "perception management." They understood that if you could manage the perceptions of the American people through the information they got, making sure it was only your side of the story and that the facts from the ground were filtered out, then they could control the American population. They did not want to see Vietnam again. If they had to do foreign policy interventions, they didn't want the American people to become an obstacle to them. -- Investigative Journalist, Robert Parry

Tale of Iran/Contra, Gary Webb and crack, and leaving journalism to blog for truth, justice, and American way. Long, but good!

2. Robert Parry really puts it in a nutshell, explaining the last 20+ years in journalism

It's a good, although sorry, read. We do have some journalists still who are committed to digging out the truth, but it is an uphill battle for them and they have to have incredible integrity and courage to do it. Thanks for the link.

3. Those few journalists don't have the widespread audience that the fascist shills
