Why did the media not mention it was a bank that was attacked in Greece not just a building? - Growth vs. Oil - 11-27-2012 06:52 AM
The youth of Greece is having a hard time being told to give up their social programs and raise their retirement age but by the time the news get to the US we hear Greece has to cut the pay of government employees which sounds great but what else is Greece giving up, they don`t report that.

Because corporate interests, don't want Americans to realize it is deregulation, free market policy's, and the same types of transfers of wealth to the top that we practice here, that have led to the problems in Greece.
The corporate media in the US, is about protecting corporate interests, the wealthy, and the status quo, first and foremost.

Maybe you need to use other news sources, I heard all day yesterday that it was a bank.

There was never any attempt to say it was anything other than a bank in the UK media. Maybe the US is afraid its people will start doing the same thing as your bankers started the whole slide.
