[edit] Quote

This was copied verbatim from http://mail.sarai.net/pipermail/reader-list/2002-July/001625.html . It may not be strictly plagiarism, however, an article about Dennis Bernstein should not simply be a quote quoting a quote he made. It should actually say who he is. Danny 01:39 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)

And yet you go through the effort of removing the clip, and inserting "Quoted verbatim from" which is no more encyclopedic than what I wrote. How helpful you are! -&#35918&#30505sv

[edit] Bias

ILike2BeAnonymous removed the follwoing comment "Unfortunately, majority of his reports are not objective. For instance, in his coverage of Israeli-Palestine conflict he only criticizes one side – Israel."

I listened to all of Dennis's shows for the last 3 months. There is no doubt the shows are not objective. I have many examples. For instance, yesterday's show has "in-depth interview with former high-level CIA analyst Ray McGovern". The show claims that Bush is a war criminal that should be impeached and prosecuted. I do not know whether this is right or wrong. But there is no discussion - just pure "facts". The listener has no choice but to believe it because the show does not present the other side. And ALL the shows are the same - 1 side = propaganda. I lived in the Soviet Union and I know what propaganda is (I used to believe that America is a one big jail where people get killed in thousands every day just because of their political beliefs)- and Dennis's shows are propaganda in the best Soviet traditions. Please DO NOT remove the comment until you prove otherwise.

ILike2BeAnonymous this is not a fair practice to remove text without explaining why you do it. Cursing and just saying this is crap is not a discussion. Dotblue 06:44, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
