Is the media hyping up international conflicts to hurt Obama and promote the neo-con agenda?

With the war in Gaza, ISIS in Iraq, the conflict in the Ukraine, and Iran, the media is promoting the narrative that the world is in the worst turmoil that it's ever been, and the reason for this is that America has become isolationist since the Iraq war and is not fulfilling its role as the world's super power.

This narrative has a two-fold purpose: (1) damages Obama politically and sets up a big Republican mid-term win in November and (2) lays the ground work for the return of the neo-con agenda of American military intervention overseas into these conflict zones.

American corporate media is adroit at getting policy into action even when the American people don't support it.

Delta to offer free entertainment on U.S. flights

Here's the catch. All of the free movies are Adam Sandler movies, and you have to pay a fee to turn them off.

Kill Obamacare? Okay, Then We Go For Single Payer. Full Stop. Unrelentingly.

Okay Republicans. You succeed at killing Obamacare, then we go for single payer, full stop. No more compromises. No more "Mr. Nice Guy". We begin by demanding that the Democrats go for Single Payer. No Dem gets nominated without being 100% in support of Single-Payer. No Dem.
