Cromwell as rising cream

david cromwell

This morning I read some more David Cromwell (2012) “Why Are We The Good Guys?: Reclaiming Your Mind From The Delusions Of Propaganda”. John Hunt Publishing. Kindle Edition.

He is what I would call a freelance philosopher. He is a quality academic and corporation man but he gave up the formal institutions so as to be free to address the propaganda that serves to cover up the undesirable activities of the rich, powerful, global elite and their henchpersons. He could be thought of as a thinking person’s Russell Brand. There is a Wikipedia page about him and he has a website (Media Lens) and is part of the main social networks.

‘Media Lens is a British media analysis website established in 2001 by David Cromwell and David Edwards. The site is financed by donations from its supporters. The aim of the website is to scrutinize and question the coverage of the mainstream media of prominent issues and events to draw attention to what they regard as "the systemic failure of the corporate media to report the world honestly and accurately".’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Lens

What I save using Kindle can be contributed to the crowd funding of those websites that I reckon to be worthy of support. Thus does freelance meritocracy flourish by allowing the cream to rise to the surface.

Cromwell (born 1962 ) - User friendly writing style, fastidious research and passionate commitment to the common cause of changing minds. Excellent stuff.
