perish the thought that those noble bastions of journalistic integrity would EVER deliberately try to deceive we, the people!

let's just burn dan rather at the stake as a witch, televise it, and then officially declare the death of the free press and the absolute takeover of the media and admit we're nazis and be done with it.

2. Well, there's the sleeping kid tape on Letterman
CNN called and lied that the White House said it was fake, then they were called on their lie, then said that the White House never called them after all.

Don't even get me started on Faux, but I do have two words for them: Iraqi Drones of Death. (okay, four words). Faux said the Iraqis were sending unmaned aircraft to the US to spray us with chemical and biological weapons. Complete and total fabrication.

7. The problem is CONSISTENCY.
You see, CNN, Fox, MSRNC CONSISTENTLY deceive and mislead with right-wing spin.

CBS only does it INTERMITTENTLY. They need to get their shit together and be consistent like FAIR AND BALANCED FOX NEWS!

9. Have they ever NOT deceived us? And have we ever NOT lapped it up
like the good little COOL-AID suckers we were brought up to be?

People ask me, if 9/11 was an inside job, how could "they" keep it a secret. I point out that there is no "secret" as such. All the evidence is, indeed, laying around more or less in plain sight -- yet no one sees it. Our collective attention is never drawn toward it by the Corporate Owned Media, which is fed their dose of lies by the Federal Government, which is little more than the outer form of the National Security State. The evidence is never identified as "evidence" and so the COOL-AID suckers never see it as such.

OUR WHOLE SOCIAL REALITY IS A SHAM, A LIE, A RAPIDLY IMPLODING "REALITY BUBBLE." Thus the dissonance voiced by so many: "How come the media doesn't tell us what is really going on?" "How come the media doesn't report the really important stuff?" "Home come Democrats in congress go along with the neo-con agenda?" Etc.

Keep SUCKING UP that COOL-AID kids!!

No, I agree, lets burn Rather at the stake and ban Internet use for anything other than commerce and be done with it.

10. Hey Mopaul...MSNBC JUST WAS Interviewing Powerline and he said
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 12:33 PM by vetwife
that the Democratic party was behind te misleading of the documents.
We need to make them retract that ! The blogosphere at whatever that ridiculous site is said Buckhead brought this out and in acutality they were the real news media and would not have been fooled by the documents as Dan Rather and would have know the Democratic Party was actually behind deceiving Rather. A Ha there is Skinner's analagy ! They refered to Buckhead at Free Republic but saying their Blogsesphere of Powerline..membership 50,000 is the ones who relys on reliable sources.

14. My very first thought today...
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 04:39 PM by Flubadubya
upon hearing the Media pirrhana slashing at the still warm corpse of Dan Rather.

Wanna hear something ironic as hell? Wolf Blitzer was talking with Jeff Greenfield about this and both of them were foaming at the mouth and the glee was beaming from their slitty eyes. At one point the topic turned to the subject of the swift boat veterans and how their story had been basically discredited and "real journalists" said so right away. Talked about journalistic integrity and all that rot... which leaves me with one question:

WHAT THE HELL IS CNN DOING STILL PAYING MONEY TO AIR THEIR ADS?

Sorry to scream, but all this just makes my blood boil!!! :grr: :mad: :argh:
