[lbo-talk] demonization

[Doug Henwood]

My god, watching Fox and CNN last night made me feel like I was  
turning into Yoshie. On Fox, Newt Gingrich was - I'm not kidding -  
bashing the Bush admin for being too soft on Iran. Then on CNN, there  
was the relentless demonization of Iran from a more liberal (and  
closeted) Anderson Cooper POV. It was creepy and completely insane.  
It really felt like the whole media establishment was leading us into  
war.
