From Last Week

Unfortunately I missed it then, but better late than never:

As freelance journalist and press observer Ron Callari has noted, US media are now populated by "well-paid conformists" whose voices are owned by the major corporations that pay them so well. Callari decries the "dumbing down" of the media and asks whether a people can be truly free if Big Brother can spoon-feed them what to believe.

That's from Ray McGovern, writing over at Counterpunch. According to his byline he was
a 27-year veteran CIA analyst and co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. The above quote elegantly summarizes what a LOT of folks, myself included, have been saying about the media.
