I had the misfortune of listening to NPR coverage of Iranian politics and US foreign policy and there was no context, just self-congratulatory well-meaning BS about what a shame that the two countries are having a hard time trusting each other… Fuck that. At least the imperialistic white-supremacists on Fox outright lie and spew honest hate. NPR actually has the opportunity to elevate the discourse from the completely moronic but they don’t because they’re pussies. Sorry. That was disrespectful to vaginas >:/

Fox is the media equivalent of explosive diarrhea, but NPR is a whimpering sycophant

What can one say?!? It truly is time for reasonable honest people of any ideology to rise up and topple this rotten corrupt political-economic system. Don’t forget that the problem is not either government or big business; it’s the cozy symbiotic relationship they have together (read your Adam Smith!)
Dare I say that the ONLY solution at this point is revolution? doesn’t have to be violent but power must be seized by the people by any means necessary >:(

It’s about JPMorgan Chase’s $13 Bilion banking settlement that the mainstream media is totally (and preposterously) misrepresenting.
Watch this and compare to the mainstream coverage–details are in the 2nd clip on democracynow.org:

The Man Who Won a Nobel Prize for Helping Create a Global Financial Crisis » TripleCrisis

It’s amazing just how utterly debunked mainstream economics is. There are lots of us (economists) who are not charlatans, quacks, and clergymen but almost all the respectable mainstream ivy-leaguers are.
I open my principles of economics courses by stating that at least 80% of the familiar standard neo-classical “economics” textbook is BS and that this is not my opinion but a scientific observation.
