[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> Riots Inc.! |
Welcome another lonely warrior against the vast left-wing conspiracy to beggar under-appreciated producers of wealth. Where would corporate giants and most governments be without her ilk? It looks like we're in for another classic instance of media "balance" (more rightwing whining). One "Disclosure" (a lady boss harasses male underling) balances 1000's of confirmed mal-on-female sexual harassment cases. One celebrated case of reverse discrimination balances systematic discrimination of the usual kind. ~$200M from the "leftwing establishment" balances billions in corporate advertising and lobbying. (Come to think of it, I'd say the left is getting better value for its money. Greening Earth and the Cato Institute are very expensive to maintain. No wonder the right is trying to copy them via Astroturf movements, "liberation" management, fake Body Shops, etc. Can rightwing hacktivists be far behind? Wartime hacking doesn't count.) Ms. Okonski is fighting yesterday's war. The global mediaspace is too big for organized efforts to highjack it, as happened with "political correctness." If she grew her hair a little and wore glasses, she could kill Naomi and take her place. Now THAT would be scary. (That comes from watching too many American made-for-TV movies on late night Dutch TV.) _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
