Where's the "liberal press" when you need it?
Halfway listening to tonight's MSNBC debate.
Nothing dramatic or unexpected from the candidates, but it strikes me that the NBC boys aren't doing their job. Three of the Repooflicans are completely distorting the meaning and purpose of capitalism, and Brian Williams is letting them get away with it.
(I'm only pretending surprise here; we know that the "liberal press", along with most Rs and Ds, are Gramscians, not "liberals" or "socialists" or anything else. All of them serve Wall Street.)
Santorum tried, much too politely, to hint that financial predation is not the proper role of capitalism, but probably didn't make an impression. Come on, man! If you really mean it, show some outrage! ¶ 6:26 PM
