Propaganda is rarely valuable, even when correct (which it isn't here).
- binspace 17y agoLike "too big to fail"?
- cynicalkane 17y ago...that doesn't even fall into the category of "propaganda".
- binspace 17y agoSeems like propaganda to me. That is the sound byte I associate with this whole mess. It was repeated quite often.
- cynicalkane 17y agoUsually by the enemies of the banks, though. It's at best propaganda for the other side, if at all.
- binspace 17y agoWell, the banks got what they wanted. A big fat payout and subsidies from the tax payers. We hedged their risks. They don't need any propaganda. Now before the decision was made...
- binspace 17y agoAnd didn't you say that is not "propaganda"? What is your definition of propaganda? Maybe we can have a rational discussion if you declare what you mean by propaganda.
- rrhyne 17y agoCalling something propoganda while failing to point out inaccurate statements is propoganda. Further, you should have a disclaimer in every one of your comments that you are paid by the industries Taibbi is railing about.
- cynicalkane 17y agoPut away your pitchfork and torch. I was responding to the GP's assertion that "screeds" and "polemics" are "valuable". My point isn't really changed by what other people think of the article.
