Nice quotes.
An example:
View this illustration of the shrinking land once called "Palestine":
http://www.juancole.com/2014/07/palestinian-thwarted-speaking.htmlHow is such an extraordinary ethnic cleansing allowed to take place in plain sight? This partly illustrates how:
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/israelgaza-conflict-the-secret-report-that-helps-israelis-to-hide-facts-9630765.htmlA slow moving Holocaust is taking place this very moment, in plain sight, yet nary a N. American is aware, and if aware believes it justified.
Another example:
How is it that the wealthiest 1% of Americans can convince the other 99% to vote for candidates and support policies that ensures the 1% gets richer at the expense of the other 99%?
John Oliver explains (brilliantly and gently):

If it weren't for whistleblower Edward Snowden the "nothing to see here" crowd would still be talking about tinfoil hats and aliens and Bigfoot and fill-in-your-favourite-cliché. Thank you Edward Snowden.
The "news" is constructed to deflect, deceive and distract. How pointing that out is STILL controversial is as baffling to me as educated Mormons STILL giving away 10% of their income for the pleasure of being told they aren't good enough...yet. Benjamin Franklin augured well: maybe we aren't good enough for Democracy...yet.
