Something is very wrong here
Has anyone else noticed that everything has quieted down. I had been watching Lou Dobbs on CNN because he seemed to be shifting away from the Bush Dictatorship, yet tonight he blasted the Democrats for questioning Alito. It seem like no one remembers the illegal war in Iraq, the Katrina victims and FEMA, the unlawful wiretapping, the Abramoff scandal, Delay scandal, the stolen elections. Seems the MSM is back to their old tricks of kissing Bush's @$$ every time he bends over. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

2. They have gotten a "friendly reminder" about what they
should be propagandizing.

5. I think they play both sides of the road for ratings;
Matthews seems to be ace at it.

7. Remember the WIRETAP story? KKKRove has more than likely
Edited on Fri Jan-13-06 10:33 PM by in_cog_ni_to
contacted every reporter on every network with information he has from wiretapping them. BLACKMAIL. They have all been warned. Just a guess. :eyes:

10. Can't remember word for word
but Dobbs was absolutely disgusted at Dems making fools of themselves during Alito questioning. Jeffry Toobin agreed with Dobbs that the Dems are troublemakers.

11. To say the obvious, the US media is the enemy.
We have to get used to this. They are not what we assume they are, even in our most cynical mood. They are not even something we can hope to use or influence. They are an integral part of the enemy.

12. DU is asleep. RawStory put Abramoff in the fucking White House,
but DU was more worried about the crying Nazi lady.

Maybe next week.

14. A white woman cried, damnit. What is more important than that?
This too shall pass. Give it a few days, until Ney is in the spotlight because he stepped down and is under investigation and indictments are pending. It will swing back.

15. My thoughts are: don't watch or listen to MSM
They are saying "Peace, peace" when there is no freaking peace.

Understand this: Corporate America is controlling what the media provide. Corporate America wants you to shut up and watch Brad and Angie's pregnancy.

If we want to beat our enemy - the Corporations - we must not feed them. We must wean ourselves from their pablum - make them obsolete. The problems we face aren't going to go away just because the media whores want to sweep them under the rug. WE have to bypass the media and spread our message in new ways: blogs, political sites, word-of-mouth, flyers, posters, bumperstickers.



Don't be discouraged because the MSM look nothing like reality. They aren't supposed to.
