?? ????? ????| PAKISTAN LEDGER | ???????? ????? | December 7th, 2007  | Moin Ansari | ???? ??????? |  | RUPEE NEWS | Moin Ansari | December 7th, 2007 | ???? ??????? | ????? ????? | Our media offers the same stale, retrograde fare that’s been used by USSR owned state, semi-state networks for decades. The news leads with the daily antics of the President and insignificant machinations of the legislature followed by celebrity and “human interest” stories and gossip. The Same hackneyed talking heads appear to disparage some other enemy Eurosia or Oceania or Islam. Our Murdock owned British and American media still act like proselytizing missionaries determined to force their views on far flung countries. As “The Nation” commercials depict –our obsequies press does not have the temerity to stand up to the lobbies.

Who has the impudence to show a backbone against those that want perpetual mimetic warfare? The sickly scent of defeat wafting over the Neocon crusade has permeated into the fabric of American airwaves emaciating our freedoms. The resurrection of the Socratic injunctions (against democracy) and Palto’s lectures against women (yes, strange but true) and these series of Peloponnesian wars are debasing our flag, and almost destroying the free republic and the ideals for which it stands. Far away from the apocryphal atoll of sanity and our beloved American Camelot is the acquiescent press the atrophying legislative and a subservient judicial branch. Unless and until our media drops the Neocon jargon it will never be able to unshackle itself from our current Orwellian nightmare.

It is pedagogical to remember and it doesn’t take a CSI pathologist to unearth the fact that the real intention of this well orchestrated and planned smear campaign is to couple “Islam” with a powerful soubriquet, devoid of any analytical content, these icons conjure up images of a universally detested past.
