The co-host of NPR’s On the Media joins us. Her program’s mission is to lift the veil on how news and other media are made, and offer frank and honest critiques. We’ll talk with Brooke about that – especially when it comes to presidential politics - and the ongoing clash among media and the candidates over “who shapes the message."

Subject: Dean comments from Brook Gladstone Deplorable !

I was at Howard Dean's announcement speech in Burlington and was
probably the only people to booh some of his statement from the crowd.

As I listen to Brook Gladstone's words she's deflected rather than
addressed the issue of media coverage of a positive message to Dean's
supporters being construed by the media as a madman's scream and has
merely fed into this problem. She merely deflected the caller's
criticism by a statement of one state's election results rather than
cosidering the media behavior. Now he is the leader of the democratic
party and her position is invalidated by this fact. Whether the behavior
is media corruption or merely social behavior is an open problem, but to
use words like
"a complete nobody",
"absent",
"a joke"
in describing Dean is merely proving the point of a corrupted system.
The mechanism of the corruption may be an ecological form that she still
need not own directly, yet her absolutist denial will not stand the test
of logic especially from the spectator side of the system where I am
positioned. I am ashamed that such an analysis comes from an NPR worker.
You are now a clear part of the corrupted system and I think a focus on
this Dean issue is in order especially given the quotes that I take from
Gladstone above and the fact that he is now the leader of the Democratic
party. She is attempting to oust him from even this position just as he
has been ousted from a presidential possibility. Gladstone is corrupt.
These same method of address are exhibited from CIA people and it would
not surprise me if she is one.

Revolution,
