My email: Where is the comment section for the New Yorker Radio Hour?
How lovely, all this propaganda we get from you nice public radio
around the clock, 7 days a week, all year long. You talk, we listen
(and in the case of theNew Yorker Radio Hour, we can't talk back) -
what a good arrangement. that is how we have become so stupid. I was
listening to the segment about the tragic Kalief Browder. Genius use
of this grotesque absence of justice for propaganda purposes. Imagine
if this had happened in Russia. You can bet it would be an indictment
of the whole society. You'd be blaming Putin personally. Here, Obama
gets to bleat about it and look like a good guy. More and more blacks
sliding into poverty. Hundreds of thousands imprisoned for
non-violent victimless crimes. A trickle released, and Obama walks on
water. Pussy Riot jailed for hate crimes? Putin's fault, even though
he urged leniency in the sentencing. Here, Obama responsible for
nothing, even where he could intercede. Astonishing that the tragic
Kalief Browder turned down a plea bargain that would have kept him
from a trial that could have resulted in 15 years in prison? Wow,
step outside of your privileged bubble, that is how American 'Justice'
works for ALL poor people and most others - they pile up charges that
can total hundreds of years of jail time, and they offer you a plea
bargain. Few have the resources to begin to fight; their court
appointed attorneys urge them to accept. A remarkable number of
people chose what Kalief Browder chose. It is astonishing to you
ivory tower types that poor people have more principles than you. For
certain, those of you in the propaganda industry gave up yours a long
time ago to get along in your jobs.
