Lying around the clock to advance or shore up the imperialist goals of the Western plutocracy is the corporate media’s chief task. Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela and other nations are fed up with this regime which normally has horrid consequences for the targeted nations. Apparently, although he is normally unfailingly patient and diplomatic, the unrelenting, shameless barrage of lies, distortions, blatant contextual omissions, and sanctimoniousness can even get Vladimir Putin to lose his temper. We are happy to see below this healthy reaction. Way overdue. Imagine how he feels now, a full decade of insults and false acusations later.

Case in point: before 2009 Pro Football teams stayed in their locker rooms while the National Anthem was played. After the Pentagon threw mega millions at the NFL, we had the weekly honor guards and pomp and circumstance, replete with a giant flag draped over the 100 X 55 yard playing field.

JIM KAVANAGH—The kinds of antics Manafort and Cohen have been prosecuted for went unnoticed when Donald Trump was a donor to the Democratic and Republican parties, and if he had stayed in his Tower doling out campaign contributions, they still would be. It’s only because he foolishly won the Presidency against the wishes of the dominant sectors of the ruling class that those antics became the target of prosecutorial investigation. Lesson to Donald: Be careful what you wish for.
