Sunday Talk Shows Blast * for Bribing Media
Oh, uh, sorry, guess I was experiencing a weird kind of reality based dream or something...you know, the kind where logical things happen based on FACTS?

Something tells me this didn't happen, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm boycotting the media. :(

1. I don't have the stomach to watch that crap-fest anymore......
....but I'm guessing they also had a lot of discussion about the "Boxer Rebellion" that happened on Thursday.

Sure they did:eyes:

3. Pre-emptive CYA (cover your ass). They have probably all been
bought. Why do you suppose we have been calling them media whores for all these years.

How much do you suppose Tim Russert...Cheney's neighbor and friend... costs?

Does he have to put on garters and fishnet stockings, too?

4. Here's what Newsweek's "conventional wisdom" will say:
Bush <-->
Now using paid propaganda like Nazis. Still, it's pretty good propaganda. Go check it out!

Just can't point that arrow down, eh?

Sorry for the mini-threadjack, it's just been on my mind all day.

6. Which commercials?
The one from the drug companies telling us how compassionate and concerned they are, or the ones from the oil companies insisting they are passionately concerned for the environment?
