Does SNL have BALLS?
CBS Evening Fraudulent Document Update

A skit taking on the Dan Rather boot-to-the-face could mean the MSM isn't completely owned?

The gist was Rather's mea culpa earlier this week was actually FORGED...

Anyone else see this to comment?

It may be only hopeful thinking but some kind of MSM/CWM/COW/??? backlash could be formentting. The piece below certainly breaks down the media's failure with precision. Journalists _know_ they are not doing their duty... Supposedly 90% voted Kerry! (and how about that Military vote! wow!)

In case you hadn't noticed, there's a war on. I'm not talking about the one that's currently killing thousands of people in Iraq. I'm not talking about the one supposedly being fought against terrorism that seems to be doing nothing but wasting money and finding new ways to scare and inconvenience all of us right now.
I'm talking about the very real ideological war being waged against the very idea of liberalism. ...

2. I liked it on the news when Tina Fey said Bush wanted to say 9/11

but he didn't know how many words it was. (In answer to a baba wawa question.)

edit: did anyone get the irony when they said Rather was born in New Jersey rather than Texas and because of this they had him say "there is no reason for me to talk the way I do"? WTF? The boy king was born wherever the hell, not Texas, a blue-blood richie rich if there ever was one, but they aren't taking him to task for his fake Texas accent and silk cowboy hat!

6. Every single aspect of the Bush administration is fake
It really just astounds me. Even the events of 9/11 read like they were part of some cheesy movie. Everything about Bush is so fake and so pathetic.
