Who is saying "be angry?" Being a journalist means "pay attention to this", being an advocate means "things should be different." What the media, in commentary, does, is deny "being" and replace it with symbol, group, or type. So, we ask "why?" when we should ask "who?" But I agree with your essentially Chomksyian analysis of corporate media interest. Be angry means, ‘things should be different.’ Be afraid means, ‘pay attention to this.’
