Left-Wing, Ultra-Liberal Socialist Media--
Any media outlet that doesn't toe the line on RW talking points & present Koch Bros. propaganda (e.g. global warming denial) as bedrock truth.

1. Goering:
"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on
a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of
it is to come back to his farm in one piece?

Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England,
nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the
leaders of the country who determine the policy
and it is always a simple
matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger. It works the same in any country.
"

The Nuremburg Trials were nothing more for the American rightwing, than a school on marketing.

2. Koch, the Republican RW and the controling right wing of the Democratic Party.
We have to stop pretending all the wingers are outside the tent.

3. Sure. I should really have said "Corporate State."
