A note to our friends in the Main Stream Media |
|
Ok MSM folks, I know you guys lurk around in here. This is how this is gonna go down. We are willing to forgive you for kissing the presidents ass for all these years. We are willing to forget that you spent the last 5 years sitting on your hands while this corrupt administration stole our country out from under us. But now you have seen with your own eyes, the ineptitude and the arrogance that lie at the heart of this administration. If you believe that the arrival of relief and the arrival of the POTUS to New Orleans and other Gulf Coast cities was a wonderful coincidence, then, to put it bluntly, you are stupid. And that is why you are finally going to help us. Because now, it’s a matter of, if you don’t, you won’t just look like government shills, you will look, stupid. You would be an embarrassment to your profession, and let me tell you, the job market is tough these days. It is now blatantly obvious that this administration had relief for hurricane victims held back until Bush arrived, so they could get their photo-op. There were reports here at DU last night of trucks being held up outside the city limits. I would say that evidence of this would prove a crime has been committed against the American people. Maybe many crimes. These are'nt Iraqi or Afghani people dying of dehydration these are Americans. If nothing else you should be furious that Rove would think you were so stupid that you would believe that this was just an amazing coincidence. Now get to work and help us remove these criminals from office before something worse happens. Thank you for your time.

1. I hate how you call it "main stream" |
|
They're the Corporate News Media. They don't know what the hell is happening on the streets.

12. I call it corporate media too, but... |

mainstream media fits as well. At the moment they do have the largest audience. At the moment.

6. Also, they could bust up the propaganda machine by |
|
taking an example from the New Orleans police who are turning their badges in. I dare all you media whores to go on strike and tell the corporate KKKarl Rove propaganda mill, that you refuse to lie for Bush anymore.

14. I've been solidly watching CNN and MSNBC, I REFUSE to watch |
|
Faux snooze, since Sunday, after not watching since Nov. 3,2004. As soon as they switched BACK to the adoration of the George W. Bush, I turned them off and I won't be returning until they stop groveling at his feet! That is all.

18. If this is what really happened, Bush needs to be impeached |
|
if he let people die for a photo-op. What a disgrace this sociopath is to this Nation.
Actually, isn't that called "crimes against humanity" ... Saddam killed his own people with gas (he got from America) ... and he'll hang for that ... what is the punishment for letting people starve for your own political glory?

19. I figure it's at the least Criminal Negligence at the most |
|
Manslaughter, Homicide. Either way this goes even beyond impeachment, we are talking jail time here.

22. Corporate newspeople: Please take this opportunity for amnesty NOW... |
|
This is the last exit. It appears that patriotic moles are making their move. Many of you have committed heinous betrayal of your country and people. You know full well that we know, and that you will be held accountable. Deliver Murdoch and the other ringleaders now, and we will petition for leniency on your behalf. DON'T BE THE LAST RAT OFF THE SHIP.

23. Whatever media awakening has happened, Larry King is now on CNN... |
|
demonstrating that he is a shameless whore for Bush and the oligarchy. I have never cared for King -- at his best he is frustratingly superficial -- but now (especially by cutting off Jesse Jackson's criticism of the relief effort and then openly gloating at the censorship he had just imposed), King has proven himself a plutocratic propagandist of the lowest and most beslimed order: a genuine disciple of Goebbels -- a sneering strumpet truly beneath contempt.

25. Let's encourage them to try to clear themselves. |
|
The Julius Streicher -like charges can be filed later. Getting the message out even if the MSM are acting under false assumptions is the main point. We'll just "betray" them later by putting them on trial anyway.
