Dear Editor: Where is the critical reporting on the so-called missile shoot-down of the spy satellite? The U.S. media have unquestioningly accepted the Pentagon PR of protecting people from a toxic gas.
According to an MIT physics professor and other physicists around the globe, the satellite would have been destroyed when it entered the Earth's atmosphere and the gas posed only a minimal threat.
This physicist appeared on the PBS nightly news to critique the general's claim that the missile attack was necessary. The critique of the professor went unreported.
We used to scoff at the government-run press in the Soviet Union. What difference is there in the U.S., where the media act as stenographers and ventriloquist dummies?
The international press is reporting the obvious, that this missile launch was a propaganda move to establish the U.S. claim to full-spectrum dominance. The Chinese and Russians were correct in their pointing this out to the world.
George Orwell called this "newspeak" in his "1984." How prescient he was.
