COFFEE BREAK 337

+ The Diane Rehm Show offers Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein: "It's Even Worse Than It Looks". Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein join Diane to talk about their new book It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How The American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism. This show was broadcast on May 7, 2012.

+ The brainwashing of America has gone pretty far. I find some hope in the growing Rupert Murdoch scandal which potentially could be bigger than Watergate. Too many journalists have been intimidated by a media establishment bent on dumbing down the Middle Class. If the Rupert Murdoch scandal begins to reveal how deep this intimidation goes, we might be able to get the journalists back on the side of the people rather than the plutocrats.  Frontline just televised an informative show on the Rupert Murdoch scandal. It is temporarily available on the internet at the Frontline website. There is even more on the scandal at that website.
