Obama confidant's spine-chilling proposal by Glenn Greenwald. Krugman and Greenwald are battling over this issue. Greenwald responds. A healthy debate is a good thing.
There are a couple of things going on in this post. Government propaganda - covert propaganda - is the issue. The Bush Administration paid "experts" to support their agenda in the media by pretending that they were objective and independent, but it has been revealed that they were paid to promote this propaganda. Recently, an expert - Gruber of MIT - has been promoting the Obama Administration's health care plan while failing to disclose his relationship to the White House. He's profiting off of the debate and is not sharing it.
According to Greenwald, "for many people, there's a big difference between hearing from a truly independent authority about Obama's plan and hearing from someone being paid many hundreds of thousands of dollars by the administration. Not disclosing that arrangement, and worse, affirmatively describing him as "objective," is just misleading."
In addition, Cass Sunstein is an advocate for infiltrating dissenters. Check out the abstract. It's quite hypocritical to think that our country is the good, not the bad at all times. Isn't the road to hell paved with good intentions?
