Three good talks on current events by Glen Ford, one of America's most astute--and hardest-hitting--Progressive political commentators. Ford exposes the phoniness of the 2-party system (which resembles professional wrestling more than politics): both parties serve Finance Capital and imperialism.
Then Ford exposes the barrage of US government lies about Gaddafi, Libya, & US wars in Africa. And he denounces the corporate press's decision to--yet again!--trumpet the lies and never question them.
