I wrote another posts for David Horowitz’s NewsReal blog yesterday about “Morning Joe” – the show I’m keeping an eye on for this extremely innovative and important blog, ran daily by John Perazzo and David Swindle.
The title of my post: “Morning Joe Pimps Michael Moore’s New Propaganda.” Excerpt:
Just before the weekend, MSNBC’s Courtney Hazlett pimped Michael Moore’s new movie “Capitalism: A Love Story” on Morning Joe.
Speaking to Morning Joe’s Willie Geist, Hazlett described Moore as some kind of modern-day Robin Hood. Moore’s main problem with capitalism, she explained, is that it enables “the top 1% of the wealth pyramid” to own “95% of the nation’s wealth.”
Robin Hood Moore is just “out there for the little guy who isn’t being heard.”
In other words, he is a genuine 21st century hero!
Or is he?
Geist and Hazlett forgot to mention that while Moore may blame “the rich” for all of society’s ills, he is actually a multi-millionaire himself. Yes, he dresses like a hobo, but Moore became extraordinarily rich by “picking the target [i.e. 'the rich,' conservatives, etc.], freezing it, personalizing it, and polarizing it” — precisely in the manner outlined by the famed radical “community organizer” Saul Alinsky.

Yesterday’s post is a great intro to today’s post about the same Michael Moore, by the way. If you haven’t read it yet, do so now.
