Mark Voelpel’s theory that businessmen want to know the truth.
“What’s really happening in Iraq, or anywhere?” makes the Wall Street
Journal politically neutral and objective in a way that the New York
Times definitely is not. He feels the NYT is in the business of
cultivating public opinion primarily to be pro-Israel, and that’s why
it has found uncritical common cause with the so-called War on Terror.
He’s very big on this book “Don’t Think of an Elephant” which is
about the history of Republicans assiduously working to shape
rhetoric in the US.
