Malloy, Air America and Tarpley's interview


Air America Network in Turmoil
September 02, 2006 10:00 AM EST

Liberal Air America radio host Mike Malloy had his show abruptly "terminated" on Wednesday, allegedly for financial reasons. The network is failing but there could be another factor behind the Malloy debacle. There is still fallout from Malloy's recent decision to turn over two-and-a-half hours of his three hour show to a former associate of ex-con Lyndon LaRouche, a perennial candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination who campaigns against what he views as British and Zionist control of the U.S. political system. The LaRouche organization is frequently labeled as a cult.

The former high-level LaRouche associate, Webster Griffin Tarpley, was on the Malloy show to promote his view that unnamed U.S. officials carried out the attacks on 9/11 and blamed Muslims for the terrorist acts. But Tarpley went beyond this to suggest that leftist Noam Chomsky, a supporter of the Hezbollah terrorist group that attacked Israel, is a rich puppet of the U.S. military industrial complex and a tool of the Zionists. The hapless Malloy seemed to gobble it all up.

It appears that, in this case, the looney left became too looney, even for Air America's backers. And those backers, according to a July 17 article in the Washington Post, were going to include the so-called Democracy Alliance, a group of rich liberals led by convicted inside-trader and billionaire George Soros. It turns out that Tarpley, who wrote the book, 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA, thinks Soros has been one of those behind-the-scenes money manipulators telling Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve what to do. You can read all about it on page 116 of the Tarpley book. It probably didn't look good for Air America to be featuring someone who has been critical of the network's hoped-for financial savior.

Indeed, the controversial Malloy interview with Tarpley may have jeopardized the Air America financial rescue plan.

"Web" as Malloy called him, declared his belief that an "invisible government" was behind 9/11 and the hijackers were "patsies." He declared, "You're dealing first of all with a military coup by an invisible government or rogue network faction inside the U.S. command structure. It is a U.S. operation from beginning to end with some help perhaps from the British." Malloy, who described himself as a friend of the recently defeated and erratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney, did not disagree.

Tarpley also told Malloy, without any rebuttal, that former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was a "destroyer of the crime scene" at ground zero and a "functionary of the invisible government."

The article above has some spin and omissions, but I think that was the best interview Tarpley gave.

His main message was "either 911 truth or WWIII" and the collapse of the dollar(Hyperinflation).
An attack on Iran and Syria will kill Russians in Tartus(Syria), Russians working in nuclear facilities in Iran and Chinese working in Iranian oil fields.

1. Ah, syndication...

Cliff Kincaid writes his drivel for "Accuracy in Media", a twisted mockery of "Media Matters";

How do you know the media are biased?

In addition to a number of major media surveys, The American Society of Newspaper Editors published a 1999 study that showed 78% of Americans said there is a news bias in the media.
('Editors group releases preliminary journalism credibility study," http://www.asne.org/kiosk/news/98jcp.htm)

Furthermore, not only do the overwhelming majority of citizens believe there is a bias, but they say that bias is overwhelmingly liberal. This, according to a 2003 poll conducted by the Princeton Review Research Associates for PEW Research Center for The People & The Press, shows a 2 to 1 margin of respondents believe their media coverage is slanted to the left.
("Strong Opposition to Media Cross Ownership Emerges: Public Wants Neutrality and Pro American Point of View," http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=188)

The public seems to be correct. According to another poll from the PEW Research Center conducted by the Princeton Review Research Associates in 2004, "about a third of national journalists (34%) and 23 % of local journalists describe themselves as liberals." A mere 7% of journalists described themselves as conservative.

2. then he should get his facts straight
Edited on Sun Sep-03-06 10:33 AM by FoxOnTheRun
What is Accuracy In Media(AIM)?

Accuracy In Media is a non-profit, grassroots citizens watchdog of the news media that critiques botched and bungled news stories and sets the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage.

What is the goal of AIM?

We encourage members of the media to report the news fairly and objectively--without resorting to bias or partisanship.


Are they kidding?

For Fairness, Balance and Accuracy in News reporting




There was no mention of the fact that LaRouche had served time in prison on financial fraud charges.
From his article about the interview


I wonder who is fair and balanced, he could have mentioned Bush 41.

``Last year, 49 out of 50 blue-ribbon economists
were saying there would be a recovery by this year.
They were wrong, and I was wrong.''
--George Bush, Jan. 15, 1992.


{Lyndon LaRouche was the 50th economist.}

The record of the 1980s, through the
accelerating economic crisis sweeping the United
States from 1989-1992, is that Lyndon LaRouche was
the only political leader who knew what was
happening, and {what was going to happen if we
did not make a ``bootlegger's turn'' in economic
policy.}
On the campaign trail in 1988, George Bush said
``Lyndon LaRouche deserves to be in a lot of
trouble;'' LaRouche was put in prison in the week
Bush was inaugurated President. He has been in
prison for the entire three years of economic
disaster of Bush's presidency. The country has gone
from economic decline to banking collapse; unable to
meet the most elementary needs of our own people;
unable to help any of the new nations emerging from
the Soviet empire; trying to bully our ``allies''
into bailing us out.
For allowing this to happen, you are suffering
now through a worsening, and accelerating, economic
depression. For staying away from ``the extremist
LaRouche,'' for backing politicians who are economic
incompetents and fools, chattering ``deregulation''
or the latest ``free market'' phrase of the moment,
your suffering is going to get a lot worse.
LaRouche is a political prisoner. Use your
imagination and figure out a way to help get
LaRouche elected President--and out of prison--or
get ready for this depression to get much, much
worse: worse than the 1930s Great Depression; worse
than any economic collapse since the 14th century.

4. Cliff Kincaid then turns around and blames Clinton for 911
in another of his ridiculous articles. I wrote him a letter, which I knew was a waste of time, but I did it anyway.
He can't see the irony in ridiculing Tarpley, then blaming the Clinton administration, lol.

3. Cliff Kincaid denounces the "loony left" yet goes into
surprising detail. Makes you wonder if he is actually an undercover agent for good (very unlikely). There is enough information in his article to peak ones curiosity into studying the issues more. Articles of this style helped to bring me in from the dark, breaking me of my koolaid addiction. The guy would probably be a good journalist if you stripped him of his obvious bias and spin.

5. I don't know if he is good or bad guy
Edited on Sun Sep-03-06 07:41 PM by FoxOnTheRun
Most journalists are not allowed to write the truth so they have to spin.
But they somehow manage to get the message out by providing names or links for the interested reader.

Calling itself accuracy in media is a bit hypocritical, but the article made it to a conservative site which brings the message out.
And in my opinion its a good thing, because Air America would never admit the real reason for the termination, so the point can only be addressed from the right by slanting larouche and the "loony left".
When I heard Malloy was fired, I knew this interview was probably the cause.

But I think the coverage by FOX and other conservative websites has something to do with the origins of the 911 truth movement.
It comes from the real patriot movement, the conservatives who know enough about the Bill of Rights, the IRS joke, the Federal Reserve and the NAU etc.

So they have to respond to this to keep the conservatives and they are constantly backpeddling and getting themselves deeper into the swamp.
And people see obvious lies and omissions and go on the web and checkout the facts.
