Media Truth?:"We don't go out and hire journalists and propagandize"

"We don't go out and hire journalists and propagandize and lie and put people on payroll so that they'll say what you want."
--Donald Rumsfeld, 12/24/2004

What hurts most is in the region where the neighboring countries whose help we need are constantly being barraged with truly vicious inaccuracies about what's taking place in this country. And it's conscious, it's consistent, it's persistent and it makes everything we try to do in neighboring countries where we're looking for support, vastly more difficult. And we, as a country, don't do that. We don't go out and hire journalists and propagandize and lie and put people on payroll so that they'll say what you want. We just don't do that and they do and that's happening. And Al Jazeera is right there at the top.

Does our media think they are credible - to anyone?

1. It doesn't matter if BushCo is caught lying.

The pig ignorant people dwelling on the Backside Of The Bell Curve don't care; their role models are successful liars, anyway.

Heavy sigh.

2. Unfortunately, the media has themselves fooled.

It's one of the symptoms of psychosis.
