US Media at 'All-Time Low' (no fucking kidding.)

[LynnTheDem]

Arabic-language media have an unprecedented chance to take over as the world's premier news source because trust in their US counterparts plummeted following their "shameful coverage" of the war in Iraq, a conference heard today.

The US media reached an "all-time low" in failing to reflect public opinion and Americans' desire for trusted information, instead acting as a "cheerleader" for war...

3. It's too bad so many good people out in the heartland

still believe the US has a free press and trust what those lying sacks of shit are telling them every night on network news. It's a crying shame.

I'm just glad people who are online are starting to wake up.

4. I think that one day

all the US mainstream media will hang their head in shame and realize they spent their entire career playing the fools for a drug addicted, power hungry, small group of crazy sobs. Maybe not O'reilly and Hannity, but tweety for one. None of these will be remembered like Walter Cronkite. They will all be remembered for being fools, and they will also realize all they blood they have on their hands. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a suicide or two. But then, maybe I'm giving them too much credit. *soft sigh*

6. Media

The only surprise in your post is the odd assumption that the idiotic immensely biased and often nearly insane Arab media can "take over" from our own clowns. What are you thinking of?

8. What am I thinking of? Well, according to DU rules, I'm not allowed

to say. ;)
