David Sirota: Sky Is Blue...Joe Klein Lies Again...News At 11
from OurFuture.org:



Sky Is Blue...Joe Klein Lies Again...News At 11
Submitted by David Sirota on December 31, 2007 - 12:12am.


Joe Klein - who Glenn Greenwald has shown to be one of the most irresponsible journalists in contemporary American history - lays another egg:

"NAFTA has been a wash, creating as many jobs as have been lost."


According to government data, NAFTA has cost America at least 1 million jobs. This is not new information - but it still never ceases to amaze me that a high-paid journalist at any publication is allowed to simply lie without as much as a nod to the actual facts. But then, I guess Joe has neither the time nor the journalistic background to figure out who's right: the desperate bourgeois-pleasing Clintonites whispering in his ear, or the actual hard data that comprise those pesky things called facts.

3. Sounds like "Balanced News"
One says one thing, one says another and the truth doesn't really matter as long as there is balance in the reporting...

5. Klein didn't say where the jobs were "created." Certainly not in
the U.S.

6. Anothger consideration:
Jobs Lost:
Good paying Middle Class manufacturing and support jobs, usually with benefits and Union Protections.


Jobs Gained:
Minimum Wage "You want fries with that" McJobs. No benefits or protections.




The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

7. Joe Klein is disgusting...he's a shill who will go with what gives HIM his biggest Readership.
One of the first Clintonistas to "jump ship" with his "anonymous book" ..."Primary Colors" where he ratted on the Clintons...Joe Klein never fails to disappoint. He's from the William Kristol camp and he just LOVES IT! :puke:
