‘Left, Right & Center’: What a Wiki-Week It WasPosted on Dec 3, 2010
What WikiLeaks revealed might have embarrassed some bigwigs around the world, but will the released information really hurt U.S. interests? America’s jobs outlook is still heading downward as the unemployment benefits of thousands expire. Does the deficit matter more than people do? Also in the mix for this week’s “Left, Right & Center”: Obama pops up in Afghanistan, and the rich not only get richer, but they get tax cuts too—where’s the outrage?

Seems to me the Democrats finally found the backbone they’ve been looking for. Too bad he’s an Australian.

You’d think after listening to this show for 3 years that I might

but no such luck. I still listen for Robert Scheer’s righteous
indignation and Arianna’s lovely sing-song voice.

When did the progressive blogosphere elect Ariana their spokesperson?
Report thisRobert Sheer knows his shit, but huff seems sort of lost.
Could I suggest some candidates for the next election?
Chris Hedges, Nomi Prinz, Brooksley Borne, Ralph Nader or Dan Ellsberg.
I hear Bill Moyers may have some free time on Friday nights also.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg but y,all get my point,huh.

WikiLeaks has been under attack all week from governments that want to hide their misdeeds, not just so called secrets. That’s not really surprising; however, despite the hypocrisy of official Washington’s loathing of Internet blocking in other countries, it is working hard to make it happen in the US of A.
