Matt Taibbi Responds To Lara Logan
Logan is obviously doing her job protecting the agendas of her clients, whomever they may be. But Taibbi’s title “Lara Logan, You Suck” is nonetheless very apt.
An interesting tid bit from Taibbi:
True, the Pentagon does have perhaps the single largest public relations apparatus on earth – spending $4.7 billion on P.R. in 2009 alone and employing 27,000 people, a staff nearly as large as the 30,000-person State Department – but is that really enough to ensure positive coverage in a society with armed with a constitutionally-guaranteed free press?
Holy. Fucking. Shit. And great question. Hopefully, the answer is no. I would imagine that if a war is truly justified a government would have faith that its people would rally to the cause rather than risk life and jail to end it.
UPDATE: Matt Taibbi is now on Twitter. 10 tweets in and he gets it.
