I don't take the Daily Mail or any other national, Warbler - so you can stuff your sweeping and patronising assumptions about me. I've engaged in enough discussions on here that I would've thought indicated to you that I think for myself.
Dow was under no governmental DEMAND to provide the US military with napalm or Agent Orange. The USA doesn't force its industries into working for its aggressive ambitions. That's communism and fascism - not democratic capitalism. Dow made a fortune out of these ventures, which had catastrophically immediate effects on the Viets but, in the case of Orange, long-lasting carcinogenous effects on both sides of the conflict for years to come. In fact, its contamination of hundreds of miles of ground continues to cause cancers in the native people, including newborns. But, even with all of that, it's still a high flyer on the American stock exchange, not even considered a 'dirty' investment.
Sorry, you can't airily sweep pro-Communist editions under the carpet to suit your excoriation of the Mail, and your personal political bias. Now you really ARE sounding like Big Brother! Oh, we all know what the Daily Worker was like, so don't worry about it? Are you kidding? The Daily Worker DENIED the existence of the gulags, for God's sake! That's like denying the Holocaust - in fact, the gulags formed much of Stalin's own holocaust, with probably as many people dying (we'll never know exact numbers for that, either) in his brutal pogroms. I'm surprised that you can't or won't be objective enough to treat the opposite spectrum of propaganda with the same sneering derision you have for the Mail.
And, while we're at it, why stop with the Mail? Why not the Sun, the Mirror, the Star, with their bite-size rants, free of any attempt at balanced analyses, their tits 'n' ass double standards of 'morality', their right-wing crowd-pleasing bilge? Are you setting them aside simply because they waved the right flag at the right time? If so, then your argument's not that you can't stand right-wing tosh. It's that you can't stand a certain paper's right-wing tosh.
