Rove controls EVERYTHING!!!

[BreweryYardRat]

Every headline news item in our media, from CNN to a local paper in some podunk town in Northern Idaho, happened at Rove's command!

:sarcasm:

Jesus, people, Rove's not God, even if he'd like to be. He's a sleazy little political ratfucker who's good at playing the game. Has he pulled strings with the media on occasion? Probably. Does he do it even most of the time? Absolutely not. So quit assuming everything that hits the headlines is a Rovian plot. Sometimes, things happen that distract the media from what's important. Their job is no longer to report the important things, but to report whatever will bring in the highest ratings-and that's generally something sensational and unimportant.

Only if the timing on something rings really oddly should we start wondering about Rove's involvement.

1. We're getting infotainment instead of news. And it's not all about

Rove, but he is a "sleazy little political ratfucker who's good at playing the game". :thumbsup:

2. Complicit doesn't mean control!

Their interest is to protect the corrupt status quo, which Rove symbolizes! He doesn't have to control everything, there just has to be a powerful and complicit group---the media---backing him up every step of the way; distorting perception and making the "political ratfucker" out to be a hero.

Anyone who doesn't know the hierarchical structure of the media---from the small town paper to the major news outlets---the media appears to be a disparate bunch of organizations and titles, but they're not. Then there is syndication. Search a headline on Google, everyone is printing the same BS.
