Our focus this week was going to be on Astroturf® organizations (created out of whole cloth with funding from prominent corporate elite structures in pharma, oil, energy and more) who are trying boldly to disrupt policy debates on a host of issues, but it was not easy to sift through the vast maze of lobbyists and websites. Corporomedia via Reuters actually got ONE story out there The summer of Astroturf which tells us, "The Public Relations Society of America equates it with the use of "front groups," which the above organizations accuse one another of being. (The trade organization eschews the more popular term "because Astroturf is a registered trademark.") The society, noted its Chairman and CEO Michael Cherenson, bans the practice - to no evident effect." Please comment and provide links to these so-called "Astroturf®" organizations for a future Brick TeeVee Special. Meanwhile the WH & Pentagon send the HumVee out with Joint Chiefs Admiral MIKE MULLEN and U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan and former Lieutenant (3-star) General KARL EIKENBERRY to Meet the David and State of the King to prop up the Afghanistan "surge", a war now in its 8th year with no strategy (other than protecting oil/gas pipelines aka PIPELINEISTAN). DOCTOR HOWARD DEAN goes to Face The Bob to take on Big Pharma Stooge CHUCK GRASSLEY and Blue Dog Apologist KENT CONRAD. Fake News Sunday tries to look "bi-partisan" with New Dem ARLEN SPECTRE. Throw bricks at JOE LIEBERMAN and DICK LUGAR on State of the King. Or throw bricks at dinosaur JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN on This Snufagopolis. Your choice! Give a great big "welcome back" to GEORGE WILL on ABC's Roundtable where The KrugMan and ROBERT RIECH rib Will on his "extended" vacation (not unlike teabaggers' favorite targets those damned Public School Union Teachers getting all summer off!) Of course there's plenty of SUBSTANCE in the BTV Alerts and our regulars at AntiWar and Max Keiser. Seems the staff at Ring of Fire are on vacation so no new guest list this week so just tune in to the rebroadcast. The Brick TeeVee crew's garden is experiening a bumper crop of zucchini and huge loaves of tasty zucchini bread with our www.JustCoffee.coop "The Progressive Century Blend" morning brew! Yummy! Our late growing season is finallly letting cukes and tomatoes get going (despite raids by local deer and other critters) and some of our hot pepper plants have yielded nice peppers, so the BTV Salsa is still on! Hope your garden is productive this year, too!

AS the Congressional Recess gets into full swing with "birthers", "deathers" and various right-wing astroturfers shouting and yelling at town hall meetings across the country, in comes Whole Foods CEO John Mackey with a WSJ op-ed full of the same right-wing talking points (lies, mostly) the astroturfers spew. Ellis Weiner breaks the whole thing down point-by-point in HuffPo Half-Assed From Whole Foods: "In other words, just as patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel, so "a careful reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution" is the last, and sometimes first, refuge of the wing-nut. These people must be told, over and over (although they already know it; it's not as though they're arguing in good faith) that we can have the kind of society we choose to have." So get yer bricks ready for Astroturfer Supreme DICK ARMEY on Meet the David as NBC News tries to fill the gap with this "health care special". Will David confront all the disinformation spread by FreedomWorks? Look for RACHEL MADDOW and CHARLIE "Where's my General?" RANGEL too. This Snufagoplois goes with SEBELIUS, SPECTOR and HATCH while GEORGE WILL is still MIA from the roundtable. Face the Bob features ROBERT GIBBS from the WH and two former somethingorothers. SEBELIUS gets the WH Limo to take her to State of the King, joining a cast of shouting thousands, plus that loveable political odd couple of MATALIN and CARVILLE. Fake News Sunday sez: "We'll get 'just the facts' when we're joined by" Sen. KENT CONRAD AND RICHARD SHELBY (I swear that's what it said on the FNS website!). Ring of Fire has Bobby and Mike back with guests MATT TAIBBI and DAVID NIEWART while AntiWar Radio has a great interview with CHRIS FLOYD. Max Keiser gets in his digs on France 24 and there's more good stuff in the Brick TeeVee alerts, too. The Brick TeeVee Crew is saddened by the news of guitar innovator LES PAUL passing away. Rest in Peace, Les. Our condolences go out to the Les Paul family.

AS Congress heads for Summer Break Sotomayor is in, Cash for Clunkers gets an extension and Health Care For All gets kicked to the curb while Tea-baggers, Birthers and Deathers obfuscate and scream "Keep government out of my health care" at various town hall meetings while they gratefully accept Medicaid and VA Benefits Health Care! The sheer hypocrisy and idiocy of these people make our heads spin. Paul Krugman explains in The Town Hall Mob, "There was a telling incident at a town hall held by Representative Gene Green, D-Tex. An activist turned to his fellow attendees and asked if they “oppose any form of socialized or government-run health care.” Nearly all did. Then Representative Green asked how many of those present were on Medicare. Almost half raised their hands." Watch Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY9) push back HERE, HERE and HERE. GREAT! (See GritTV below). Look for DOCTOR HOWARD DEAN poking holes in NEWT "Contract ON America" Gingrich's silly musings. Meanwhile there will be plenty of discussion on the "other" war in Afghanistan with GENERAL JAMES JONES and Armed Services Chair CARL LEVIN plus his committee counterpart LINDSEY GRAHAM on Face the Bob. General Jones then takes the NSA Humvee to Meet the David and Faux News Sunday. Of course, the entire Middle East, the 'Stans and Africa may be discussed with U.N. Ambassidor Dr. SUSAN RICE on State of the King. Check out DAVID BENDER hosting Ring of Fire Radio with an interview about "The Family" with JEFF SHARLET. Max Keiser speaks with Alex Jones about The Fed while Antiwar Radio has an interview with Daniel Ellsberg about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Plenty of EXCELLENT stuff in this week's BTV Alerts Section, too, well worth your time to watch/listen. The Brick TeeVee crew is settling in for Dog Days of Summer as well. Although our garden has been eaten by critters large (deer) and small (ground hogs) we have an abundance of zucchini and the hot peppers are doing good. The tomato plants (deers' favorites) keep making a come-back so we hope to make salsa by the end of the month! We hope your gardens are doing well, too!

The Brick TeeVee crew is too verklempt to write much about the talkies this week as The Tribe officially began massive rebuilding with the trades of reigning Cy Young Winner Cliff Lee to the Phillies and catcher Victor Martinez to the Red Sox for a ham sandwich and a subway token (aka a bunch of "can't miss" minor leaguers). Also missing from the Opening Day lineup was Ryan Garko (Giants), Mark DeRosa (Cardinals) and Ben Francisco (with Lee to Philly). Ironically, tonight was Victor Martinez Bobblehead Night and the induction of another great Tribe catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. into the Indians Hall of Fame. As Alomar was driven around the field for a "victory lap" on the back of a Mustang Convertible right past our seats, one of the Crew yelled out "Hey Sandy! We could use a catcher like you right now!" and Sandy turned, pointed at us, winked and waved as the car rolled off the field. That's baseball, I guess. And to add salt to the wound, we just ordered new Tribe tags for the BTV-Mobile that say "C LEE 31" last Monday. Best of luck to all our former Tribesmen. Anyone for a Phillies-Red Sox World Series?

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

All bets are off as the country embraces Walter Cronkite's passing. But no doubt they'll try. The much more important British Open pushes out This Snufagopolis, so we tune to Face the Bob with CHARLIE "Where's my General" RANGEL and Brick Target MICHAEL STEELE. Meet the David gets Head Obstructionist MITCH McCONNELL and KATHLEEN "force everybody to get swine flu vaccinations" SEBELIUS who sez "I want to be clear: This summit is not about raising alarms or stoking fears. It is about being prepared." Vaccinations against swine flu are likely and probably will begin in mid-October, assuming soon-to-start studies go well. But she says first in line for shots likely will be school-age children, young adults with conditions such as asthma, pregnant women and health workers. Okay then! Shots for everybody! As Gonzo Journalism tells us "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro". Thusly This Fall: Mandatory Swine Flu Vaccines? @ the citizen.com: Health and Human Services Secretary (and Bilderberg member) Kathleen Sebelius told the Associated Press on June 16 that she is urging school superintendents around the country to spend the summer preparing for a massive swine flu vaccine this fall and added that schools are being put on notice that they might be turned into factory assembly line shot clinics. “If you think about vaccinating kids, schools are the logical place,” Sebelius said. On May 6, the Obama administration announced “an unprecedented fall vaccination campaign that could entail giving Americans three flu shots — one to combat annual seasonal influenza and two targeted at the new swine flu virus spreading across the globe,” the Washington Post reported. That's nice! Be sure to have plenty of bricks available for racist Jefferson Beauregard "crack cocaine thang" Sessions the Third taking on MITCH MCCONNELL on State of the John. Beyond that, it's progressive teevee and audio featuring SAM SEDER on Ring of Fire Radio plus author NICOLETTE NIMAN who tells us the true story of what happens to our food before it reaches our tables. Lastly, 60 Minutes pays tribute to Walter Cronkite. The Brick TeeVee crew remembers watching Cronkite inform us of JFK's assassination, the Viet Nam war, Apollo 11's lunar landing and so much more. Cronkite told it "the way it is" for nearly two decades. Cronkite's Journalism is mostly a faded memory or never existed for so much of our populace since news reporting became a "business" when Roon Arlidge took over ABC News. Our Corporate Media controls nearly 90% of U.S. media and doesn't do investigative reporting anymore; rather they are stenographers for their corporate clientelle advertisers who want us to beleive BP, Shell and Exxon are really behind alternative energy or Boeing "keeps democracy safe" or McDonald's and Wendy's and Kraft provide us with healthy meals or there's such a thing as "clean coal". No, Walter's time as a leader of an independent Fourth Estate is long gone (and he'd be the first to tell ya so!). With the passing of Walter Cronkie, let us embrace the Alternate Press we have now with our money and our hearts and minds, in the midst of newspapers all over the country going bankrupt. Let us begin anew an aggressive constitutionally-mandated FREE PRESS that acts like it's supposed to: openly questiioning and investigating our government and the corporate leaches that use and abuse OUR tax dollars. Cronkite would ask no less.

Good-bye Walter Cronkite

»»» "Journalism and the Crisis of Democracy" WCPN 90.3 Cleveland Stop the presses! Breaking News! Journalism is dying! The terms seismic shifts and tectonic plates moving are overused but they certainly apply to journalism today. The venerable fourth estate is an endangered species. Newspapers, like the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, which was around for 150 years, have closed. Many others are threatened. Foreign reporting, never a strong suit, is getting worse. Bureaus are being cut back or eliminated. The demise of journalism, particularly investigative journalism, would have major implications for the functioning of our increasingly parlous democracy. If politicians and corporations, bankers and financiers know that there is no one looking at and reporting on what they are doing then corruption, which already exists, will increase exponentially. The masters will go unchallenged. Unless a new economic model emerges, print journalism as we’ve known it, will cease to exist.

You done good! THIS JUST IN via email from Dennis Kucinich: "With your support, your phone calls, your emails, we won a major legislative victory today for a state single payer health care option in the House of Representatives in Washington, DC. The House Education and Labor Committee approved the Kucinich Amendment by a vote of 27-19, with 14 Democrats and 13 Republicans voting yes.
~snip~ "Under the Kucinich Amendment a state's application for a waiver from ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act -Ed.) is granted automatically if the state has signed into law a single payer plan. With the amendment, for the first time, the state single payer health care option is shielded from an ERISA-based legal attack. Now that the underlying bill has been passed, as amended, by the full committee, we must make sure that Congress knows that we want the provision kept in the bill at final passage!
"The state single payer option was one of five major amendments which I obtained support to get included in HR3200. One amendment brings into standard coverage for the first time complementary and alternative medicine, (integrative medicine). Another amendment drives down the cost of prescription drugs by ending pharmaceutical industry's sharp practices manipulating physician prescribing habits. An amendment stops the insurance industry from increasing premiums at the time when people are not permitted to change health plans; and finally an amendment imposing a requirement on insurance companies that they disclose the cost of advertising, marketing and executive compensation expenses (which generally divert money from patient care). Please make sure you post this message on your social networking site, ask all your friends to get involved and encourage everyone you know to sign up at www.Kucinich.us so we can build full momentum behind this movement for real health care. Let's do this! "
