Today's Headlines, and what they really mean.
If we take a clear eye to the headlines today, we have to give some credit to the SF Chronicle for at least dancing near the real stories.
For example, the top headline today "UC, Bechtel Team up for Nuclear Bid" (Here's the link: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/05/12/UCLABS.TMP
The news here really is "Bush Government continues to transfer the nation's wealth from the private sector, in this case, academia, to the military industrial complex" --So buy more bechthel, northrup, or martin lockheed stock today...
Or, the next headline: Tally of civilian deaths depends on who's counting" (link:) http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/05/12/MNG9UCML2E59.DTL
The real news is "Thousands, most likely more than 100,000 innocent civilians, have paid the price of death as a result of the US war in Iraq. The question has to be, is this the price of democracy? and why is a country like the US making those decisions?
We have to give the chronicle credit for at least dancing very close to the real questions we should be having vigorous public discourse on.
