Pundit Shows
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 07:25 AM by bmichaelh
Does anyone know why those so called pundit shows never have Chomsky or Sontag or Zinn on them to interview?

In the last chapter of Zinn's book "People History of the United States", he has great insights into the 2000 Election and the War on Terror.

I have not heard one pundit say anything similiar to what Zinn wrote.

1. they're still inviting the neocons on
not as much as before they were thoroughly discredited, but still way too much.

Whenever I see Gingrich, or whoever, on TV, I write an email saying, they already had their say, and they were proven to be liars, how about inviting Dennis Kucinich or Noam Chomsky on?

2. see the movie Manufacturing Consent - Noam Chomsky and
the Media. It explains everything. In short, Chomsky, Zinn, etc. (particularly Chomsky) are intelligent, knowledgable, and extemely articulate, and they speak the truth about the concentration of media power in our society. Their critiques of U.S. foreign policy are usually dead-on, and probably hit way too close to the truth.
