"...Coors, Olin, Brad, and Koch foundations, have pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into policy factories that generate media-friendly reports, op-eds, and TV talking points on conservative causes."
Remember you are what you pee!

George W. Bush is winning praise from the major U.S. news media for finally leveling with the American people about the difficulties in Iraq. But Bush is still making many of the same false or fuzzy assertions that guided the United States through the first 1,000 days of war.

TomPaine.com - Climate Change, Economic Change
"The real opportunity cost for America, however, is the spate of innovation, manufacturing and construction a shift from centralized to renewable energy would entail. Rebuilding our communities to use energy more intelligently provides the a powerful and long-term source of domestic economic growth our economists say America is desperate for. And shifting to renewables means we can help the rest of the developing world, 4.5 billion people, get a shot at a better life. If we stick to centralized energy, suburban sprawl and inefficient consumption, we'll be forced to subsidized it from a treasury that is already trillions in the red. Preserving the old economy is just not a viable option."

Nobel Lecture by Harold Pinter | Art, Truth and Politics
t r u t h o u t - Harold Pinter | Art, Truth and Politics
"Political language, as used by politicians, does not venture into any of this territory since the majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth but in power and in the maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed. ...
The truth is something entirely different. The truth is to do with how the United States understands its role in the world and how it chooses to embody it. "
