Wolf is the author of several books including the 1990s feminist classic, “The Beauty Myth.” The United States is on the road to becoming a fascist society, right under our very noses.

1. Thanks for posting.

2. Thanks mmonk--we Tivo the show live every morning at 5AM

off of our community access channel, which broadcasts the feed from Free Speech TV.

Lately we watch the Today Show for about 5 minutes to see what the day's big propaganda or distraction stories will be in the corporate media, then we switch to Democracy Now and watch it over breakfast.

3. Heh heh. Reflective of the two universes, one real

and one created absent of the critical issues we all face. Thanks for supporting Democracy Now!

4. Right--we just get tired of all the "missing children" Natalie Holloway-type stories

and it's time to use the cell phone speed dial again to let elected officials know we are fed up with media industry consolidation. Randi Rhodes, I believe, said we have until December 8 to do this.

[mmonk]

5. Yes, it's important we are heard.

Kicking for a much important thread.
