>- This is the reason Chomsky never appears on these shows. The last time he was on one, he was told that he needs to be "concise", that is, as you say, "spit out" talking points. To explain why things are the way they are, any real analyst or serious scholar has to begin with the end of WWII and the rise of the American Empire.

...very true. In the early days after 9/11 I cringed whenever they brought a Muslim scholar or Imam on Fox, and the rest....they hardly gave the guy a chance so many ignorant and stupid points did they toss out that the guy was overwhelmed by their sheer stupidity and didn't know where to begin...it took a while for Muslims to figure out these were not "news" shows, and they quit.

...Christians slam Richard Dawkins because he refuses to debate creationism or Darwin with them,,,,as if he's afraid of the power of their arguments....but he says why would he discuss the flatness of the earth with anyone...or the truth behind alchemy...or astrology?
