" Last Friday’s terror attacks in Paris have triggered an international media campaign aimed at inspiring panic and justifying an escalation of the wars in the Middle East and the assault on democratic rights within the US and Europe. " ( World Socialist web site )
I was amazed to hear a local talk radio celebrity here in Rhode Island ( they are invariably just shades of right wing. For them even LIBERAL is a dirty word. ) demand that the more influential on- line newspapers -like the Providence Journal- simply ban COMMENTS . Not monitor ( that is understandable even here ) but BAN. " They serve no purpose ", said the local big shot news man Gene Valicenti. I guess he thinks all we need to hear is right wing talk radio , which he thinks is the last word in popular democracy - unless you disagree with the talk radio blow hard narcissists
Oddly enough, Valicenti was foolish enough to talk about this with the owner-publisher of the Warwick Beacon. Mr. John Howell politely suggested that Valicenti was a little daffy-and hypocritical here.
Still the two bit talk radio celebrities get THEIR ideas from their ruling class employers.-even the more notorious INDEPENDENT MAN at the radio station, John DePetro, whose favorite topic is all those despicable ILLEGAL ALIENS coming to Rhode Island. Now he is troubled about a horde of dangerous Syrian refugees invited here by the Democratic mayor of Central Falls , James Diossa. By the way, DePetro never fails to claim his Catholic identity. He graduated from Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick. I suspect he hates the rather " progressive " Pope Francis.
What Talk Radio 630wpro.com teaches any socialist is this: THE RULING IDEAS ARE THE IDEAS OF THE RULING CLASS. I make no claim to originality here.
And their latest IDEA is World War III .
