      Finkelstein, for all his virtues as a journalist, simply isn’t any kind of culture warrior. I can’t say I’m totally shocked that he’s blind to the modern domestic civil rights era when he’s been focused elsewhere. After that, he’s as much a victim of the Most Propagandized Mass Media On Earth as everyone else.
