In The News: President-Elect Barack Obama picks Rahm Emanuel for Chief of Staff and rumors are John Kerry has been tapped for Secretary of State. In Alaska the race between the convicted Republican criminal Ted Stevens and Mark Begich, the mayor of Anchorage, is still undecided... More about the Criminal Elements of our government, their relationship with the media, and what the public might do about them as they try to peddle their corrupt ethics in the media from Juan Cole at Informed Comment:

Thursday, November 06, 2008 Monsters on Television Paul Krugman, among my favorite political commentators, has spoken forthrightly of how during the past few years we have had "monsters" in office, naming Tom Delay, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. He complains that until recently, if an observer simply called them what they are, he or she was termed "shrill." (h/t Daily Kos).

I could not agree more. But I'd like to take this discussion out of the realm of commentary and into that of action.

It is unacceptable that television news brings Tom Delay and Karl Rove on as bona fide political commentators, when both are criminals. The same thing goes for Oliver North. Delay has been indicted on corruption charges and had to step down from his seat in Congress. Rove led a campaign to have the press out a covert CIA operative who was attempting to stop Iranian nuclear proliferation, essentially blowing her cover and that of her contacts to Tehran (i.e. he is a traitor).

There was a time when individuals so tainted with crime made themselves unacceptable in polite society, including on television.

Instead, these monsters are being given air time. CNN brought Delay on to accuse Barack Obama of being a "Marxist." To have that shameless embezzler given a platform to smear an honorable man just made my blood boil.

Folks, we need an organization that can blanket the corporate media with emails of complaint every time they bring on a criminal and parade him as a legitimate commentator. If they blow us off, it would be time to get up some advertiser boycotts.

The big three auto makers are in conference with Nancy Pelosi about their ongoing hemorrhaging of financial lifeblood as they vampire off of the US taxpayer in the form of 'bailouts' currently allowed by US corporatist (Cf. Fascist) national economic policies. The Stock Market closed down yesterday...

But "No Worries", as Da' Buffalo's Hawaiian friend Kimo is so fond of saying. In California Proposition 8 is STILL undecided... as if political governments have any business regulating who marries who in the first place. In regard to the commentary, if you need a basic, hipp(sic), economic brush-up... The Story Of Stuff, with Annie Leonard.
