And content?
- Bob Somerby for telling the truth about MSNBC then and now.
Chris Hedges for calling out the pathetic schills who attacked Cornel West to prove what 'good soldiers' they were.
It's really past time that the press start the conversation about what sort of government exists in Iraq. The editorial board of The New York Times attempted to jump-start that conversation a few months back. It did not take. It will require more than one outlet.
Ava and C.I.'s look at Smallville, The CW and the state of TV.
A serious question and we're apparently the first to ask it.
The illegal war has many victims.
Ann, Ava and C.I. wrote this and we thank them for it. They will do this study for at least three months. After that, they're not sure.
Rebecca and C.I. brought the idea for this piece to the edition. We applaud Mickey and wish we had many, many more truth tellers like him.
Before time ran out, there was going to be two roundtables: A TV one and an Iraq one.
A repost from Workers World.
Mike and the gang wrote this. We thank them for it.
Dona and I (Jim) worked on the Iraqi piece and only that. This edition was really steered by Jess, Ava and C.I. We thank them for that.
Peace.
-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and
C.I.
