MSNBC Had Jack Spencer From The Heritage Foundation As An Expert On Nuclear Power - Propaganda!

Even "liberal" leaning news channels must please their corporate masters. MSNBC had Jack Spencer from the right wing Heritage Foundation as a nuclear expert this morning. He was pushing the narrative that the fact that there has not been a full scale melt down yet actually demonstrates that nuclear power is safe! He complained that this "story" about the safety of nuclear power needs to get out. The MSNBC reporter didn't bother to note that Spencer is a nuclear power advocate for a partisan propoganda mill. With the purchase of NBC by Comcast, and the firing of Keith Olberbann, even liberal news outlets will start pushing the corporate narrative and attacking Democrats from the "left."

Jack Spencer as a nuclear power expert? Seriously? I would expect this on Fox News, but MSNBC?

Cool, I'm not imagining that interview. Here is Daily kos calling out the propaganda being spread by the corporate media.

How in the phuck did this unqualified RW tool get invited to speak about Nuclear industry safety? They might as well have invited me. I know more about that industry than this idiot and on this subject, I KNOW NOTHING!

What the hell has happened to the news organizations we once trusted. Unbelievable!

...and offered him as an expert to comment on the situation. It was amazing. 2012 worries me. Our media is depend on corporate advertisers who are paying for and promoting this right wing propaganda.

Don’t Jump to Nuclear Conclusions In Tsunami’s Wake -- ((BEST LINE)) "Because nuclear power plants are designed and constructed to endure natural disasters and even human error, concern surrounding Japan’s nuclear power plants should not give rise to panic." -Jack Spencer, Heritage Foundation. :banghead: FAIL!

could not possibly happen because of the "extraordinary inherent redundant safety measures" built into such plants.

The fact that this plant was dependent on backup generators for cooling that somehow were compromised after a 9.0 quake and resulting Tsunami (duh) says all that needs to be said.

It is beyond stunning.

Using nuclear fission to boil water to spin turbines is simply insane. One day, if humanity survives (...) hopefully these people that insist upon genetically modifying our food and building nuclear plants thinking they have planned for every contingency will get their own planet, where they can follow their hearts desire. But if something goes wrong, they should be forced to stay there.




Ontario, Canada — ESI-AFRICA.COM — 14 January 2011 – Chinese solar firm Canadian Solar Incorporated has revealed that it supplied modules to the largest capacity photovoltaic solar power plant in Europe ‒ located in Italy, and built by MEMC Electronic’s SunEdison unit.

Canadian Solar ‒ headquartered in Canada, but whose operations are largely based in China ‒ said the plant was expected to power more than 16 500 homes in its first year of operation. The Rovigo photovoltaic plant in Northeast Italy is the largest of its kind in Europe.

Europe ‒ especially Germany ‒ is seen to consume most of the world’s supply of solar modules, which turn sunlight into electricity.
