MSM......troublesome as Rush`s anal cyst
Devoid of respect for the air waves they occupy, mainstream media babble on like participants in a pyramid scheme, all lined up at the bottom, hawking for the crooks at the top. Five minutes with these hucksters underscores just about every reason U.S. citizens so easily swallowed the notion that war is peace. Why drag yourself down with stories about waterboard torture when you can effortlessly drift away to Aruba or imagine your problem acne vanishes just like Jessica Simpson`s did?

If Chris Matthews` prattle about Cindy Sheehan`s divorce is crucial to our understanding her position on the Iraq War, then Matthews should headline Rush Limbaugh`s anal cyst so we can fully understand the chickenhawk`s side of the issue. Gallagher`s Imaginary Army vs. Devastated Parents of Dead Soldiers. One for the history books.

I can`t bear much more of this. The word "obscene" pops into my mind every time I compare a shot of Bush, the Lance Armstrong wannabe .... helmeted and free from harm....bicycling his way through another vacation while body parts are stacking up like brush piles in Iraq. Perhaps it`s our new reality. Weasels gets lauded while soldiers get killed.

Reporting from the Crawford hay bales...."He`s so buff, Candy."

1. I just have to say
That the msm is as blind to the take over of America as the freepers. What choice do we have anymore. The arrogance and flippant attitude from most of the media only matches that of *bush. There is a stream of insanity running deeply through our country it is being fueled by hate. I will not give way to hate although at times I have considered it. Something is going to give, the tension and pressure on our piece of the planet has nearly reached it's breaking point. Who knows what that will amount to once it does?:cry:

3. Not blind
The MSM is not blind. That implies that they are not active participants. It implies that they are ignorant of what has been done to journalism in this country. Mainstream 'journalists' know who signs their paycheck. They aren't THAT stupid.
