There's a piece or two of the puzzle completely missing from the article. There's hardly any positive agenda -- and so the discussion devolves into constant negative bashing, which can't win anything. The absence of an effective analytical framework is noteworthy: presumably it is missing because a careful and useful fact-based analysis of the power structure (and of its interests and players and techniques and propaganda) would require hard and boring work, and the results would probably sound Marxian, something that traditionally terrifies Americans -- but the lack of analysis also means that the only option is constant negative bashing (which can't win anything)
