Showing Original Post only (View all)Gotta love Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! ....... [View all]
...... I was just watching a DN! episode on YouTube, and Amy was running through the news headlines, which included ISIS, the Climate talks and the Jefferson County, Colo. school board's plans to change the history curriculum.
Now in all the corporate media's news stories on Jefferson County, they've used the school board's official language to describe the proposed changes: "promote citizenship, patriotism, essentials and benefits of the free-market system, respect for authority and respect for individual rights"
Amy's words when describing the changes: "to promote corporatism and deference to authority."
Amy,
