[lbo-talk] US Journalism Continues Descent Into Abyss

[Dennis Redmond]

I know it's still early in the year, but I hereby nominate Michael
Specter's "Kremlin Inc." in the January 27, 2007 issue of the New Yorker
as the most egregiously awful piece of craptastic, xenophobic, lickspittle
piece of US-propaganda-masquerading-as-journalism of the year. Beneath
Specter's pro-democracy patter, salted with homilies from that patron
saint of humanity, Boris Berezovsky (I couldn't make this up if I tried),
lurks an abyss of racialized hatred and genocidal fury at the failure of
neoliberalism's victims to simply roll over and die.
