how many 'pundits' are on the WH payroll?
does ANYONE here believe that it was just Armstrong Williams?

how about Novak?

how about Blankley?

how about all the WHORES who mouthed the WMDs in Iraq BS?

the Saddam/Osama linkage?

etc etc etc

this could (and should) be a reeking MESS for the WH, the rightwing and the corporate media... and, you have to admit that the AW story got a LOT of play tonight.

1. Just another conspiracy theory.
*yawn* ;-) I'm teasing you. I've always thought most of them were paid. But what do I know? I'm just a Liberal.

2. We should make a poll on the whores
In addition to the above, I nominate:

George Will
Tucker Carlson
William Safire
David Brooks
Wolf Blitzer

And any bastard or bitch who has written the words 'Social', 'Security' and 'crisis' in the same sentence.

26. They're all physically repellent!


Every name on that list is as ugly as sin.

Don't forget deformed, and ugly, Madam Adam Nagurney of the New York Whore Times. That one's on the tax payer's payroll too.

Nagurney using tax payer coin to buy his way into the Gay Manhattan A-List.

Wouldn't this Collusion make an interesting RICO case?

7. Let's ALL keep asking the questions.
This is EXACTLY what we need: The means to demonstrate Bushco's hijacked press. DUers know they shilled and helped Bush lie us into an illegal war. But -- from what the media whores report -- the average American wouldn't have believed their pretzeldunce would lie. Ha! They will now.

Who knows? Maybe we'll get the Mighty Whorelitzer to spew some truth about Bush and 9-11. Does anyone remember James R Bath?

16. Mockingbirds come in all colors. As long as it is green.
Reminder to newbies:

The CIA has controlled the mainstream media for decades, long before Rupert Murdoch got Faux News Propaganda going.

Those who aren't willing are bought off or threatened. Or recieve anthrax in the mail as a reminder.

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/MOCK/mockingbird.html
(CIA Operation Mockingbird)

This is why you never heard about what really happened on 9/11.
http://www.oilempire.us/wargames.html
(NORAD/CIA War Games During 9/11 Attacks)

This is all that surfaced about this 'coincidence.' No TV, no 9/11 Ommission Panel, no pundits, nada. Just a tiny AP article almost a year later in the dead of summer.

(Associated Press Aug. 21, 2002)

More CIA stuff from one of the most famous insiders:
http://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/ST/ST.html
(L. Fletcher Prouty, ex-CIA, The Secret Team 1955-1964)

Here is a CIA warning about eliminating the Constitution, prison camps, torture, execution, aggressive wars, caused by people in the Reagan White House who are back in the saddle today.

9. They're never done
We'll see plenty of him. At the very least on Fox. They don't care how you trash the art of journalism. They employ Oliver North, and he does a show called "War Stories". As far as I know, he's never done a story on the only one he should.

They never go away.

10. Isn't this illegal ?
If so, can we impeach yet?

Makes me wonder about all the wingnut pundits spewing Social Security and Tort reform.

21. illegal? YES
but impeachment? NEVER. the house will not impeach the chimp.

that said, the pundits we should be MOST interested in are those that facilitated and perpetuated the WMD lies and Saddam/terror lies that greased the way for the chimp's INVASION.

for that matter, every RW pundit who uses the phrase "War on Terror" (since there is not and never has been any such thing) needs to be investigated as paid WH propagandists.

15. Follow The Money and BINGO!

Let's start following the money for those like Candy Crowley.

Bet she has a lovely new house and her grand children's tuition to private school is paid for by ?????

Let's get a money trail going.

How did Rush start a relationship with Darren so fast? She is one mean machine and I bet she just got a new penthouse apt. with $ushola.

How many more are on the payroll? Were they paid to promote the war?

24. it was *rumored* that the people behind it
were involved in the 2004 campaign.
