Not a mention of Haiti on CNN homepage.

This seems a bit odd to me. After all, we do have soldiers there. What's the deal?

1. Part of the propaganda plan

Soft pedal the story if nasty stuff about US may be dredged up. After all, Dick and Colin have both spoken -- what more needs to be said?

2. The deal is that there is a deal

that belies the soothing reassurances by the WH studied liars. Trying too too hard to bury a story that would not stir public outrage no matter what.

I have noticed that when the international move to get rid of a business unfriendly leftist is afoot, all the mainstream new sources, even normally trustworthy ones like The Guardian show their corporate colors and circle the wagons. The level we normally expose is merely the controversial WH and BFEE favoritism that is too much for the world to swallow, especially since other foreign and corporate powers are competing there. Globally, even with Bush gone, we still have a big problem.

On a level of one to ten you have to rate world leadership, world corporations, world media by the degree in which they suck. You see a pathetic replay of that in the popular arts in their commercial gridlock and drivel.

Being fed up and hopeless is the most important product of modern "civilization". We(not prefect, but not THIS bad) are presided over by the very worst human beings glamorizing the very worst of human social behavior.

Ranting right off the topic. Sorry.
