[CitizensTruth] FW: Howard Zinn interview

[Walterb306 at cs.com]

All,

The American People seem to be targeted as culprits for Howard Zinn, whose 
book, A People's History of the United States  and life work, I greatly value.

True, but not the only culprits.

The corporatist media, owned by BILLIONAIRES, has betrayed the people of this 
country by failing its duty to inform them.  A people cannot make informed 
decisions if they are fed lies, half-truths, and distractions.  

Nor have the American people forced criminal or unethical behavior on the 
politicians, lobbyists, businessmen, military chiefs, and financiers who sit at 
the top and have access to far greater resources and information than the 
general public and have turned a deaf ear to repeated cries and actions of protest. 
 Abramoff, Delay, Bush,Cheney, Greenspan, Wolfewitz, et al. have made their 
choices for themselves.  Perhaps their greed-addiction has compelled them, but 
not the American people.  

Two stolen elections later, it is time for progressives to be our own media.

And there isn't any time to waste.

Beverley
