Many folks donn't think of their nightly news as Propaganda. It's the
Evening News. And the people running the channels tell us that no one
influences their reporting. And folks never stop to question why
certain topics are taboo. Then the channel owners get all ruffled up
over RT or Democracy Now, and shout that they are almost committing
treason, and so the folks who get their nightly news from the
channels, refuse to allow any of that Commie Propaganda get inside
their heads.
As Chester A. Riley would say, "My head is made up, don't change it
with facts."

I can imagine what would happen on the Bookshare list if Roger began writing
in positive terms about a Marxist book. On the VR Stream list, when I was
trying to get help finding the Sputnik radio station, people were making
comments about how they wouldn't listen to the station because it's Russian
propaganda and you can't trust anything that Russians say. Of course, I'm
listening to Americans on that station like Brian Becker, a socialist from
The Answer Coalition, which is an anti-war organization and John Kariakou,
who's been in the CIA and was imprisoned for blowing the whistle on their
torture program. The guests on their program include max Blumenthal and
people from Code Pink, and other American leftists. But I didn't bother
saying that. The mass media accuses Russia of being Trump's right wing ally
while, at the same time, accusing it of sowing discontent with left wing
propaganda. With those accusations, you can't win.

Roger bashing? What a strange idea.
If I were to write down all of my glitches, and publish them, I would
entitle the book as Volume One, The Weird World of Carl Jarvis.
We called our dad the Absent Minded Professor. And that was before he
reached 40.
It's all part of the fun of living.

I think I have been guilty of the same thing. Once I was trying to
send an article about Cuba to this list. To fill in the address of
this list I really only have to type the letter B and auto complete
fills in the rest. That particular time, though, just as I was typing
the letter B I started thinking about books. Without realizing it I
continued to type out the word book. Auto complete filled out the rest
of it and the article ended up on the Bookshare discussion list. I am
lucky it didn't start another torrent of Roger bashing.

I owe another $1,300 to South Shore Periodo, remember? You need to
pay the last installment.
