BTS Wrap Up: Daily Show Fail, Think Tanks, Afghanistan War

Posted on by


MEDIA ROOTS – As I work full time on Breaking the Set, I will be featuring a weekly wrap up of the best individual segments from the show. This BTS summary is about the implications of Americans getting their news from The Daily Show, Think Tanks’ influence over shaping US foreign policy, free thinkers being branded as potential “terrorists” and the 11 year long failure of the Afghanistan war.

Take down of Jon Stewart’s weak interview with Obama on The Daily Show.

 


The most influential Think Tanks have a revolving door between the government, multinational corporations and the media.

 


US soldiers who have independent thought deemed potential “terrorists” by US Army.

 

On the 11th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan, BTS looks at consequences of the longest war in US history.

  1. Hi Abby,

    Hope all is well with you!

    Can you tell me is the media in BLACKOUT on this?

    Supreme Court Conference on. February 15, 2013
    RE:
    Noonan, Judd, MacLeran, Taitz v Bowen provided a mountain of evidence of Barack Obama using a last name that is not legally his, a forged Selective Service application

    *decision by the Hon. Chief Justice John Roberts to grant Taitz a full Supreme Court Conference on. February 15, 2013 (albeit in secret).
    *case is titled Noonan, Judd, MacLeran, Taitz v Bowen provided a mountain of evidence of Barack Obama using a last name that is not legally his, a forged Selective Service application, forged long form and short form birth certificates and a Connecticut Social Security number 042-68-4425 which was never assigned to him according to E-Verify and SSNVS.

    *On April 15, 2010 Obama posted his 2009 tax returns on line. He forgot to fllatten the PDF file and his full unredacted Social Security number xxx-xx-4425 became known to the public. This number immediately raised suspicions of Attorney Orly Taitz, as it started with 042, a digit combination which was assigned to the state of CT and Obama was never a resident of CT. E-verify and SSNVS showed that this number used by Barack Obama was never assigned to him. We have an individual sitting in the WH as the US president and Commander-in-Chief, in control of our nuclear arsenal, while using a stolen/fraudulently obtained Social Security number from a state where he never resided.

  2. Mrs. Clinton’s comment on think tanks was shocking. Conflicts of interest no doubt. Thanks for nod to Congressman Ron Paul . . . fighting the good fight for decades!

  3. As study noted, Jon Stewart IS as substantive as network news . . . which is to say he is both insubstancial in content and potentially substantive in influence.

    Go, Abby!
