Media The sound of silence
Posted by Kirk Woundy on Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Ray Ring of High Country News has written a piece that may give hope to people who feel that karma must catch up with right-wing media "revolutionaries" at some point.
"'The West's Biggest Bully' gets his" covers the downfall of John Stokes, apparently a fairly horrifying AM radio personality in Montana, a guy who called environmentalists "green Nazis" and daydreamed about frustrated people perhaps deciding to "blow up" the West. Turns out that after nine years on the air, a $3.8 million defamation judgment against Stokes did him in. Mountain debt and his admission that he hadn't paid tax returns for a decade didn't help him, either.
Ring's piece at HCN is subscription-only, but the Missoula Independent, an Association of Alternative Newsweeklies paper, reprinted it (with permission) here.

NOT HORRIFYING...ACTUALLY ACCURATE, AND TRYING TO POINT OUT THE FACTS OF THE SITUATION. YOU REALLY SOUND LIKE A IGNORANT, BLINDED, NUMBED BRAIN [NO OFFENSE INTENDED], AND ARE APPARENTLY UNAWARE OF THE CORPORATE FASCISM BEING SET IN PLACE ALL AROUND YOU...YOUR FIRST CLUE WOULD BE TO WATCH AARON RUSSO'S INTERVIEW, NORMAN DODD'S INTERVIEW, AND FULLY GRASP THE TRUTH, THE FACTS OF BUILDING 7. NOW IF YOU ARE YOUNG OR DUMB [OR BOTH] YOU WILL READILY DISMISS THIS MESSAGE AND THIS INFORMATION...GOOD LUCK. WAKE ON UP.

REALIZE, IF YOU WOULD JUST REVIEW HISTORY, EVEN BRIEFLY, YOU WOULD REALIZE EVERYTHING THATS BEING DONE RIGHT NOW, IS THE SAME AS WHAT GERMANY DID, AS THE NAZI'S TOOK CONTROL. AND IF YOU DO REVIEW THE HISTORY, YOU WILL SEE, THEY [THE NAZI'S IN GERMANY] ENDED UP PLACING HUMANS , ALIVE, INTO GAS CHAMBERS AND THEN OVENS. WAKE UP.
