The media is in Bushmoonie overdrive pushing the meme, "Bush is right."

[blm]

Every news network shows is repeating the same Rovian mantra while all the lies go unchecked.

No doubt, they are trying to shore up Bush's falling poll numbers.

Never in the history of this nation has the media been so blatantly in the pocket of the president and his cronies.

1. Yeah, FAR Right--Hitler Territory!

[ClassWarrior]

2. Right about what??

NGU.

6. "Democracy flowering in the Middle East"

Two weeks of pro-democracy turmoil doesn't make him right -- anyway, it has little to do with him.

I guess I have to keep the radio off until they stop hyperventilating.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

10. What they don't understand

is that this "democracy" is not going to make the ME into New Hampshire. What it's going to do is to put a whole mess of mostly fundamentalist governments with the legitimacy of a free election (unlike our own) in power. Enjoy!

[ClassWarrior]

16. There's our answer.

At least with the hardcore Bushbots - how does a democracy that produces extreme fundamentalist governments benefit American interests?

NGU.

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. So right. The last time we saw a popular uprising like this

Ayatollah Khomeini took over in Iran.

Now that's democratic reform.

[blm]

9. His foreign policy. No questioning why replacing secular states with more

Islamic states is a good thing, at all.

Disgusting.

When the inevitable Holy Wars commence, how "right" will Bush be then? Well, the GOP will still control the media, so it's safe to predict he'll be "right" to lead the world into the Holy Wars, too.

5. Foreign press stories have been planted for decades by the Bushgoons.

They know when they can plant ONE article in a foreign outlet that their lapdog press here will blow it up into complete adoration of the dictatortot.

4. I know...it's very sickening...

I agree with you. The media is no longer engaging in anything remotely resembling journalism.

It's very disconcerting.

I realized the other day--that the issue goes beyond the media taking Bush's side. They aren't even covering the issues.

They're feeding us a steady dose of junk-food stories, while burying the truth. I really don't need to hear the day-to-day, play-by-play on Michael Jackson when we've got a war going on. They don't even report on the war!

What about the Italian shooting incident? Where are the journalists who should be looking for facts and interviewing sources?

What about the rhetoric coming from Chavez toward Bush? It's nowhere to be found in the MSM. It's very important!

Most Americans are totally in the dark about how hated we are in the world. We are despised. The MSM stuffs the truth in a dark hole--and Americans sit in a stupor--pondering the horrors of Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson and the BTK killer.

Something has to be done.

I never thought I'd see the day...

7. Let them!

Thank God for SS and the Bankruptcy Bill. These are things that touch everyone's daily lives, unlike the Iraq war, which mostly directly affects those unfortunate enough to have loved ones in the line of fire. Also unlike the war, rah-rah jingoism is not very effective in getting people to vote against their own interests in monetary issues of this sort. When political issues get this close to people, they pay attention and *'s anti-people, pro-fatcat agenda gets exposed in all its horror. We should use this opening to bring other things up-like the war, like how our soldiers and veterans are getting shafted by the Chimperor, like the rest of our foreign policy, like the horrid debt that will transform us into a banana republic, like the irregularities and fraud in elections, on and on (you know them all!), but MOSTLY how the MSM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bushco. I hope the MSM goes to bat for Bushco on this because people already know it's all a big scam. If the MSM stick out their necks on this, their credibility will be left twisting slowly, slowly in the wind. And you know what? They will. Massa Karl insists.

8. Can someone help me?

How is Bush right? I don't understand.....I thought the huge demonstration in Lebanon yesterday was pro-Syrian, anti-American? How does that support Bush and the spread of democracy (or his version of it)?

[fertilizeonarbusto]

11. That's right!

What that demonstration meant to me was, as soon as Syria leaves, we'll be back to another 20 years of civil war over there.

[blm]

13. Media is claiming all this as a Bush victory, giving little attention to

any story that expresses a different view, like the massive protests against Bush yesterday.

Bushmoonies in the media will not focus on ANY news that does not further the agreed storyline, "Bush is right."

[Junkdrawer]

12. Funny how that works, huh?

Bad news out of Iraq/Iran/Syria...
Reporter shot...
= Good news out of Iraq/Iran/Syria

Senate asking questions about 9-11...
Anthrax mailed to Dem Senate Leaders...
= Senate support for Bush

Bush financial dealings questioned...
NYT financial reporter leaps from building...
= Financial questions about Bush dry up

15. It works exactly as it does in any other Totalitarian Nation throughout

history.

This shit wasn't inevnted by the Busheviks. It wasn't invented by Hitler. It wasn't invented by Napoleon nor Caeser.

Methods of Totalitarian Control are as old as humanity, and themselves as methods far outsrip in age the classification of Totalitarianism.

It works just as it did in Hitler's day, just more Kindly and Gently, as one would expect Totalitarianism to coalesce in a nation like Amerika.

[blm]

17. Earlier totalitarians didn't have the far-reaching media that BushInc has.

Bush's brand of totalitarianism disseminates propaganda more efficiently and is much more widespread than any regime in history.

[kentuck]

14. They are locking themselves in a corner.....

When it fails anywhere over there, all they can say is that there are some terrorists and insurgents that do not want people to have "freedom". That is the only excuse they will be left with, no matter how bad it gets in the future. They are saying that the status quo is freedom and democracy and any rebellion or killing is an assault upon that status quo.
