So-called “studies” by right-wing think-tanks have long provided “evidence” for the corporate media to bash “big government” and extol the virtues of the private corporations which, coincidentally, fund these think-tanks.
The mainstream media treat these studies like gospel, and why not? The findings are “common sense.”
Take, for example, a recent study on health care by the Frontier Centre of Winnipeg. It introduces a few new twists on a tired and discredited theme: private is better than public.
The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
