Peter Hart: False Equivalencies and Right-Wing Buzzwords
January 13, 2011"They are goading people into feeling like their country has been stolen from them," says FAIR's Peter Hart of Glenn Beck and other right-wing media personalities with what he terms a "conspiratorial worldview." It's not just using violent metaphors, in other words, it's creating a paranoid mindset that something dangerous is happening to the U.S. that can appeal to those already inclined toward paranoid thinking, like Jared Loughner.Peter Hart, Miriam Moskowitz, Haiti and the Broken Economy

December 4, 2008The corporate media have spun the post election frame to argue that Obama should break his campaign promises. Plus a play on gentrification, and an amazing performance artist/break dancer on crutches.GRITtv Live: Media to Obama: Break Your Campaign Promises
December 4, 2008The corporate media have spun the post election frame to argue that Obama should break his campaign promises. The financial crisis is too grave. Healthcare reform, renegotiating NAFTA, and the Employee Free Choice Act should all be dropped. An editorial in USA Today described them as "small bore ideas" that Obama trumpeted more for "their political appeal than for their economic usefulness."
