Media is in full pro-Bush mode
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 07:55 AM by quinnox
I have been scanning the channels and it is all the same story, Bush's "resounding success" is the storyline and anyone who doesn't rejoice in it is a traitor. Nevermind the billions of dollars and thousands of lives lost, nevermind the lies that were told to bring USA into starting this war, nevermind that this is one moment in an unending horror story out of Iraq, like the GOP callers have been calling in to CSPAN with their talking point "It doesn't matter why we went into Iraq anymore! Look at all the smiling faces!"

This is disgusting.

1. 80% turnout a "resounding success" for Vietnam elections in 1967
bush is a f*ck-up; always has been, always wil be. Let him/them crow. Like the US crowed about the elections in Vietnam.
Before the Tet; before the chopper-lifts in Saigon.

"WMD threat" becomes "elections" for a temporary interim government.

Yes, what a "resounding success". For stupidity.

2. This is the third day of Iraq election propaganda from the MSM
The only voters I saw were either Kurds or Shias, that's some election!

3. And who will be the next American killed after these trumped up elections?
It might just happen today,and I sure the Whoring Media will let it pass for the most part to keep Chimp on high.

4. Rewarding George Bush for bringing Democracy to Iraq is like ...
Rewarding Jack the Ripper for cutting the prostitution rate in London's east end.

5. Not only that
there are triumphant generals all over the tube and -- is it my imagination, but are there nostalgic war films on the movie networks?

6. Lies, lies and more lies
There is no way this is going to be a success. This was a pointless invasion. I don't care how many lies the MSM promote to prop up the Chimp King.

7. Yeah, those planted callers on C-SPAN were a tad obvious
But figure it this way: there has to be some fig leaf of a reason to withdraw troops from Iraq. Unfortunately, they'll only be withdrawn to be sent to Iran. When Iraq falls into even more confusion, it will be because "they couldn't handle democracy."

8. Statue toppling part deux...or trois if you count "Mishun accomplished"
Or quatre if you count the "leaving Iraq to self-govern". Anyone remembers all these other "victories"? The many times Saddam, WMD were found? jessica Lynch?

9. Oh yeah
Last night's cable news shows couldn't be more pro bush if it was scripted in hollywood! You saw Iraqi after Iraqi dancing in the street, whooping it up and thanking George Bush. Today, one of the leaders in bagdad wants to put up a statue of president Bush. I hope the Michael jackson case puts an end to this cheerleading for Bush saga!

10. Why do you continue torturing yourself?. The media is and has
been a total sell out to the Republican agenda. That's it. There's no use in spending one second listening or reading their illegal and
vicious swill. It's not good for you.
