For every major issue that the corporate media covers, in USA, they try to act as if there are only two positions on the story: the left wing opinion or the right wing opinion. The vast majority of the time they attempt to say that one of these opinions is that, "the policy wasn't worth it," or, "it was the right thing to do." They never give attention to the opinion that a decision, action or policy was FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG AND IMMORAL.
Examples
Vietnam War:
left opinion: wasn't worth it or too costly.
right opinion: it was the right thing to do at the time.
truth: fundamentally wrong.
Iraq War:
left opinion: too costly.
right opinion: something stupid like,"it prevented the spread of terrorism," or,"hey, we won, right?" etc
truth: fundamentally wrong.
Torture:
left opinion: it wasn't worth it and didn't help prevent terrorism enough.
right opinion: we don't torture.
truth: immoral, wrong, illegal.. etc
Bailouts:
left opinion: gotta save the economy.
right opinion: not worth it.
truth: sickening to give these already rich fuckasses billions, while the rest of us can't even afford health care or are failing to pay our mortgages.
Health Care:
left opinion: socialized health care is not politically feasible.
right opinion: keep the industry private, you fucking commies.
truth: single payer would cut the national costs in half and give coverage to three times as many people.
you know where i'm going with this.
