Is the US Media the Most Militarist in the World?

Sometimes the US media seem like all Pentagon channel, all the time. Unless you tune into MSCIA and Morning Joe for the daily terrorism, it’s TERRORISM, report. Today, for my brief look, they were all saying that they would, of course, have no objection to naked radar photos of themselves for the TSA oglers, if they ever took a commercial flight. Why, only a moron or a TERRORIST could object. Really, the feds should have been doing this all along, with shoe x-rays. No mething that the nudar emits high doses of radiation. Tnen on the local radio station, two boys from a mill town were being heralded for their third 12-month tour in Afghanistan with the nationalist guard. That’s who goes, of course–working-class kids from unfashionable places. There is no Beverly Hills brigade.
