The once free and independent press
Greg Palast has a few choice words on the demise of the fourth estate in the US, in the context of the kerning BS.
I suppose it's past redundant now to comment how utterly obscene it is, with this much blood on the floor (and in the alleys, and in the road, and generally spread over the parched earth), and this many sour, disgusting, killing lies told, with an administration in office whose only demonstrable talent, in fact, seems to be in the telling of those lies, that somehow the story is...
... a typeface. Or, more specifically and pathetically, the typeface of documents whose actual content is independently confirmed.
I'm beginning to think the US deserves this chimp. But what, I ask you, did the rest of us do?
