Nir Rosen, Power and KPFA's Morning Show

by Listener
Nir Rosen was a guest on this morning's Democracy Now! speaking on "Aftermath: Following the Bloodshed of America’s Wars in the Muslim World"

Nir Rosen's final remark struck a chord with me in relation to the drama surrounding the Morning Show on KPFA.

Draw your own conclusions and interpretations!

"But I also remain frustrated with the American media, at least the establishment, with few exceptions. You have some very brave and independent journalists. But too often, they seem to return to sort of being the handmaids of power, instead of challenging power, instead of having this adversarial relationship with people in power, realizing that people in power lie. And I think that’s been the fundamental principle guiding my work, is anybody in power is going to lie to maintain their power. It should be obvious, whether they’re a leader of a militia in Baghdad, whether they’re the leader of the free world. And our job is to undermine that power and undermine those lies."
