brian g added,
Louis Allday @Louis_AlldayI'm genuinely not trying to be contrarian but people are getting a little carried away re. Bourdain's politics. He was decent on some issues (e.g. Palestine, and Henry Kissinger most memorably) but he openly spread propaganda on a host of others, notably Syria & Libya.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

No one in MSM possesses perfect acumen on all issues & I could easily pick apart Bourdain episodes (like his Beirut show), but I chose to focus on some positive aspects that are worth highlighting. We are all imperfect, but I respect anyone who can put in on the line like that.

And bear in mind, anyone producing content for CNN will be operating in a deep state ecosystem of US-centric geopolitical narratives and media manipulation. That said, it was the only program on CNN worth watching.

BTW - I have been a dedicated
#CNN basher for many years now, published many a scathing critque, thrashed them in hours of radio and TV interviews. They deserve it. But to go and write long diatribes crushing a person the day after they die, as I see some have done...2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

... my only question is: where was that article when he was alive?? Seems to me that the time to deliver scathing take-downs is when they are still working :)

Where were the criticisms of his trashing col Gadfafi , Chavez, Assad Putin ? It was there online . But now is the time to take stock and stop being mesmerised by television.

Brian, Can I ask why are you being so nasty and spiteful? What do you hope to achieve?

this is a guy who supported war on Syria and Libya, and you think it's nasty and spiteful to point that out? that he supported a lot of war crimes doesn't preclude his being offed for drawing the line on Gaza, or for other reasons: http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2018/06/four-for-friday-she-didnt-go.html … Xymphora has more links
