Miriam,
She's just another source that, even if leaning toward the
Establishment, provides a thoughtful position on the day's events. I
don't read her every day, just as I don't listen to 3 hours of Thom
Hartmann every day, nor the full hour of Democracy Now. I do read
everything you post from Chris Hedges, and much of Glenn Greenwald and
Naomi Klein. So many more Progressive commentators than when I was
first a frustraited young factory worker with a wife and a two year
old daughter.

I subscribed to her newsletter for a brief period of time after reading theMiriam,
first one that you forwarded. But I unsubscribed. I can't remember the
specific thing in her writing that turned me off, but I came to the
conclusion that she is a voice of and for the establishment and that I
wouldn't learn anything new from reading her newsletter. That's happened
lately with a lot of people. I feel like what they say is OK, but they are
careful not to rock the boat. Paul Jay did a piece yesterday about how
Google is banning advertisement of his reporting on You Tube. He read all
of
the correspondenc between Google and him and it's clearly censorship
without
reasonable cause. There's so much of this going on these days that few
people are willing to risk their livelihoods by telling unpopular truths. I
keep wondering where Max Blumenthal gets the money to fund The Grayzone
because is reporting on international relations is clearly very
controvercial. I know that his father, Sidney Blumenthal, is very wealthy
and part of the Democratic Party establishment, but it's difficult for me
to
believe that he's financing the kind of reporting done by his son's
website.
