but suspiciously. The media will 'spin' this as a jobs creator, a good thing for 'merica. It Does need to be brought out of secrecy and more people to be aware of what's being formented behind closed corporate doors. There Might be some discussion.

...besides, the fix is in, they hope it's "in the bag" and they won't jeopardize that, now will they?

At least Democracy Now and Bill Moyers have covered it, but the corporate bullhorn? not much chance.

Not surprisingly, they seem to think it's going to be a good thing to get into that market.

When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

Meanwhile, how is the First Amendment doing?

Surveillance chilling speech, including emails and other internet, phones, US mail (maybe private carriers, too?), and mikes that pick up conversations in streets, and in homes. (One of the former SCOTUS Justices, I think Brennan, mentioned the mikes that pick up conversations from insider buildings, so that bit has gone on for many years). Mass surveillance, of course, being a double whammy (at least) 1 & 4

Feinstein and D of J trying to define "publisher" to exclude non-mainstream publishers from protections

Pro establishment mass media that will spin and voluntary refrain from covering leftist things. The time it took for Occupy Wall St. to make media noise compared with the tiny two hour Tea Party parades is but one example. And, then, there was the significant media role in the run up to invading Iraq. Indeed, the media role was a great deal of that run up.

TV blackouts, too?

I'm sure there's more, but I have not had coffee yet, so please excuse the incomplete list.

Washington Week made a deal always to have a con tied to a winger publisher pn the panel.

More subtle: push out liberal ideas.

But, that is another subject and I don't want to interfere with the thread

The above "Free Trade" Deal with Korea is the Prototype for the TPP.
Much of the language for the TPP is exactly the same as that in the Korean Deal
