Politics Done Right on KPFT - Reaction to France’s 9/11 in Paris is déjà vu


Anyone reading European newspapers or watching European videos would be shocked. America’s coverage looks like a hyperventilating fear mongering production. For the most part the Europeans have been circumspect.

One must ask a very important question. Is the 24/7 American coverage warranted? We have had many massacres in America and after a few days they are off to a different story.

It is mind boggling how easy it is for the neocon experts to manipulate the media into a frenzy and for the media to then scare Americans into a behavior that is neither practical, nor pragmatic, nor effective to solve the problems at hand. This type of frenzy is best applied to our American born mass killers than to terrorists an ocean away.
