Did y'all realise that Propagannon made INTERNATIONAL news?

[latteromden]

From one of the leading news sources in Norway:

http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/uriks/article967475.ece

The headline reads, "False reporter asked Bush soft questions."

It's hilarious, strange, and pretty cool, all at the same time. Ohio 2004 didn't make any major news outlets in Norway - I know, I checked. But this did. Just thought I'd share. :P

1. Yep and the world's all reporting with a "good grief Americans are dumb"

and "bush sure can sucker in them American rubes" kind of slant.

We're sure showing the world we're "LIBERATORS"! We "liberate" the news media from FACTS, TRUTH and REALITY!

:eyes: Oh well, the embarrassment brought on by bush & Cabal can only go to "total", and that happened awhile back.

4. You put the two headlines together and you get the real story.

Right-wing conservative voters are too dumb to recognize a phoney/planted journalist.

2. Has ANY American President been viewed by the world

with such disdain as Bush? The man can't even go out in public in several European countries for fear of attack.

3. No, I really don't think so; America has for so long thumped its own chest

WE're the BEST WE're the SMARTEST WE're the GREATEST, that the world expects at least average intelligence and ability to speak English from America's leader.

They don't like, don't respect ignorant childish belligerant stupid bullshit bush & his Cabal spout, and the world KNOWS IT every time bushCabal spew their lies.

Americans can pretend they're not lies; Americans can justify the lies; Americans can remain ignorant of the lies.

The world doesn't.

So they look at this "WE'RE THE BEST" nation that swallows bullshit lies that even little schoolkids in India know are lies and make rhymes and jokes about.

Being stupid isn't highly regarded by the rest of the world the way it is here by the rightwingnut half of the country.

Hubby just said: Being stupid isn't something to be proud of; too bad half the USA is too stupid to realize this. :D

5. I reached an age of awareness with Kennedy.

They adored that man. When he died, the world mourned him. Conservatives around the world loved Reagan; Bill Clinton was loved by everybody else, which is about 80% - the amount that hates Bush; and I think, by what he did after his term, Jimmy Carter is held in the highest regard.

I don't think any of the other presidents even measure a bleep on the radar. How can they? Right-wingers are genophobes, which means they hate foreigners. Though I know that right-wing british haven't really learned how bad American conservative are until Rush Limbaugh invaded their airwaves. One british conservative I used to battle with on the internet even wrote me to apologize. His e-mail was simple: "I just heard Rush Limbaugh on the radio. All is forgiven."

8. Rush Limbaugh is on European radio?

They MUST put him on as a joke! If your Conservative friend realized how horrible this man is the others must also.....I would HOPE.

I shudder at the thought that Europeans think we are all like Limbaugh.

[President Jesus]

6. They're also covering our illegal and amoral occupation of Iraq

But hey, we got internet 'journalist' Gannon to quit writing stories no one but freepers read! Hell yeah, we're really shaking up the Bush adminstration.

not.

[Old Mouse]

7. I'm getting a sickening, horrible feeling

I don't think we're asking the right questions.

How many people took that two day seminar to become a reporter, and where are they now?

9. Wolf Blitzer can't even understand why it's a story.

Isn't that amazing? Guys like Blitzer are the only kind that make it through the corporate filter and into the big media outlets. So completely indoctrinated that they don't even see the problem with direct government propaganda.

These are very strange times.
