Paul, I have no major 'beef' with you...but have on this matter to side with Jan. I think while there are definitely left-gatekeepers, can I put either named person on 'my' list. Chomsky has ego problems and perhaps is blind to some things - but I don't sense is on the 'other side'; even less so for Klein. Look, we are all poeple, with our own histories, pasts, exposures to information and disinfo; we all make some tactical decisions on what and when to say and not say certain things and let's not fault a person for not being as aware as you or I on x or y......I can remember times in the past when I was not up to speed on m or n...and no doubt am not still up to speed on p and q.....
I think it is important to identify those who are purposely spouting disinfo....but, personally, find neiher named as such. Chomsky, I have many problems with...but think about how people ARE....we are complex, and many persons, with the best of intentions, have blind spots.....
