POPSMoral Depravity in the Highest Places
After 7 1/2 years of George W. Bush, much of the media and political establishment — which have never shown much interest in holding Bush to account — now appear anxious to simply move on. They seem determined to leave unexamined the full cruelty and mendacity of the Bush administration, with its unlawful wars and blatant violations of the Geneva Conventions. Moving on is a great idea - once there’s been some accountability, with a full public recognition of wrongdoing, and a commitment to bring about change. Otherwise, nothing will have been learned. The comments of Yoo, who authored top-level internal memos justifying torture and virtually unlimited presidential power, suggest a moral depravity in very high places. That depravity led to the horrific abuses at Abu Ghraib and at other U.S. prisons in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay and “black sites” around the world. The dean of the Massachusetts School of Law, Lawrence Velvel, argues that Bush and top administration offi

POPSAverting our gaze from U.S. cruelty This article examines the depravity with which the Bush adminsitration has conducted itself since 9/11. It asks some very important questions. But the biggest question to me is why the hell is Bush and his henchmen not being tried for war crimes?

POPSA Simple Guide To Public Relations * “No comment” translates into “I’m guilty” as a response to a crisis situation. * Dealing with bad news quickly means it will most likely go away quickly. We have very short attention spans. * What you actually did may not be as bad as what you stand accused of, but there’s a huge difference between the court of public opinion, which will next-to-never believe you were set up, and a court of law. *There is no substitute for a heartfelt apology. *Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. "Everyone knows this stuff. If you ask people around the water cooler what they would do if such-and-such happened to them, unless they have absolutely no grounding in reality, they can usually give you a plausible, socially acceptable response. The problem comes when something bad actually happens to you, and your natural inclination is to bury your head in the sand, hide under your desk or otherwise avoid dealing with it."

POPSIs Google Buying Digg? Digg would be a great buy -- but I'm skeptical of Rose & crew accepting a price too far "below $200 million." They've got a huge site with an insanely dedicated audience.

POPSHouse Takes a Stand Against Pentagon Propaganda "This scandal should sound the wake-up call for newsrooms and newsreaders. At times of war, the American public needs more critical journalism and diversity of opinion, not less. The media needs to ask tough questions of government, and not simply amplify its propaganda. The failures of consolidated, corporate media are clearly at crisis proportions. "If ever there was a time for our elected officials to draw a line in the sand, this is it. We need to shut down any government program whose sole purpose is to mislead the public into supporting disastrous wars, policies and politicians. "We urge the Senate to pass the propaganda ban and send a strong message to the Pentagon and other government agencies that Congress wil

POPSActivism Update: TV News Blackout on Pentagon Pundits
Lie, stonewall and bury--the first thing the Pentagon does when caught doing the nasty things they do to us. "The media organizations most implicated in facilitating the Pentagon's propaganda program have been far less responsive. The networks and cable outlets refused a request to address the issue on PBS; as the NewsHour's Judy Woodruff stated (4/24/08), "We invited Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and NBC to participate, but they declined our offer or did not respond." The cable and broadcast networks have yet to respond to FAIR's request that they change their practices to ensure that their audience will never again get official talking points passed off as independent analysis. Only NPR (NPR.org, 4/28/08) has publicly stated that they have new policies in place to ensure more careful vetting of analysts. Fox has continued to feature the commentary of retired Gen. Robert H. Scales (Special Report With Brit Hume, 4/21/08, 4/23/08), whom the New York Times documented to be a par
