"Remember the Maine!"

I listened to about 5 mins of "Forum" on KQED this morning and decided to take few mins to send the host the following:

Dear Yellow Journalist,

your show is part of a systematic disinformation campaign reminiscent of
what we saw in 2002-03 (and 1964, 1898, 1848, etc...) the media always
plays a key role setting the ground for American aggression- whipping up
the 'spirit of mars,' if you will. You could at least have give some
recognition to Juan Cole's recent piece on "what you think you know
about Iran." The facility was not secret and the Iranians disclosed it
first. Cole points this out, and Gareth Porter's reporting details it.
When was the last time Iran started a war? Not since it was Persia....
When was the last time the US or Israel started a war? The idea that MAD
does not work with Iran because Iran is 'not a rational actor' draws on
a racist logic. See Cole on this. You could at least start with some
valid premises if you wanted to be seen as a truly 'middle-brow' yellow
journalist.

I tune in to this show every few months for a few minuets, and then I'm
reminded of why I never listen.

You're a joke and you will be remembered as such.
