Mainstream Media Are State Media

Writes Paul Craig Roberts: “After all the photographs and documented evidence, much from the US military itself, of the humiliation and horror inflicted on Muslim detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo, why does anyone think our troops are too sensitive to throw a copy of the Koran in a toilet? It boggles the mind. “The real question is what pressure was put on Newsweek. Does the US any longer have an independent media? Even the NYT and WashPost kow-tow to the WH. The ‘liberal media’ that rightwing talk show hosts rail about day in and day out no longer exists.”
