I know of nothing more short sighted than to produce an article that is HALF SIGHTED, creates the appearance that Clinton single handedly concentrated wealth (note the author conveniently dismisses the fact that Clinton at least ATTEMPTED to enfore the Sherman anti-trust act via the Microsoft case which would have had FAR reaching ramifications had it not been derailed under Bush) and doesn't take into account other trade policies that were favorable to American workers such as the showdown with Japan over auto imports.
Cockburn has a habit of being as full of propaganda as the far right. He certainly is far from truthful and FAR from investigative in his writings. The reader has to take far too much for granted as being accurate when reading him.
He is no more an aid to the left than Hitchens. He simply hums a tune the left enjoys regardless of the degree to which it fractures any possibility of unity.
