Jeremy Scahill: How US Foreign Policy Has Lurched Rightward

[zaitesushion]

Knowing how Scahill reports on Obama's foreign policy and the super-choppy way this video has been cut, it's pretty obvious to see the way the Nation is intent on watering down what he has to say so that there's more of a Dem-vs-Rep flavor to his words than there really is.

Progressives who are paying attention have seen this trend on the Nation's reporting for awhile, but what a shame to see it ramping up before the election cycle as usual.

They don't want to know what he thinks about him. If he said something disparaging about him they'd be ready to tear him down and hit the "dislike" button so they can bury it to the best of their ability.

Please don't soil yourself by interviewing Ron Paul. His cult-like followers seem to fap to his name alone.

@UrchinW Of course, don't state why he shouldn't interview Ron Paul, just insert your own irrelevant bias against Paul's supporters.

Scahill & Paul would undoubtedly agree in the one area that Scahill is an authority on: U.S. foreign policy. And I'm guessing both of them would know more than you on that topic.

@UrchinW They get hard at the very thought of ron paul, let a lone if someone mentions him.

Jeremy what about Dr. Ron Paul? What are your views on him? Would you please interview him? That would be great to see an indepth logical interview of Ron, instead of seeing another interview of some "journalist" asking Dr. Paul if he is a racist.

Now more than ever, we need more journalists to adopt this attitude. It should be the prevailing one anyway.
