Media Advisory from FAIR.org:
Media Cheer for “Non-Ideological” Centrists
11/26/08
Corporate media are largely cheering Barack Obama’s early appointment of Clinton-era centrists. Many of these nominees have a distinct record of support for the corporate-friendly NAFTA trade pact, gutting public assistance programs under the guise of welfare “reform,” and pushing various deregulatory policies in the financial sector (including the elimination of the Glass-Steagall Act). Yet, to hear the media tell it, Obama’s centrist appointees inhabit an ideology-free political zone.
