Amy Whinehouse's - as talent and Rosseane Bar - as the empitome or embodiment of working class liberation - Democracy Now is really getting there isn't it? This is decline in reporting or analysis that we no longer need. When movie stars, by acting like working class people, become heroes of working class struggle we know "fascism has risen to the highest order of deception and manipulation". And then there is the selling: selling of shows, books and people.
Thanks Democracy Now! for so-called reporting, analysis and importing news gathering.
I found even in Canada, where imitating and following the US used to be an art form and a cultural norm, news about the killing of 91 people in Oslo was replaced by Winehouse (is it "Whinehouse"?), and later the Murdoch scandal. At least Murdoch scandal is important, but this Whinehouse obsession? Please!
