Surviving Capitalism (Not) : A Case Study in Distortion and Bias on Syria by PBS

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

A Case Study in Distortion and Bias on Syria by PBS

Click here to access article by Rick Sterling from CounterPunch.

Sterling provides us with an excellent analysis and another illustration of the methods used by our masters to manage our views to make them aligned with our masters' ambitions to dominate the world. I remember in the '80s and '90s when PBS's Frontline often offered quality critical programs on foreign affairs, but over the years since I've noticed a steady devolution into pure ruling class propaganda.
