Does anyone else have a problem with the media
saying that what *bushco did (and still is doing) is "only playing politics"?

It's as if "playing political hardball" is an excuse to lie, cheat, steal, spin, etc. Has it always been like this? Have pundits and talking heads (Tweety for one) always been OK with this?

Just wondering if I am just too naive. :shrug:

1. I think that politics
has always been an excuse to lie, cheat, steal, spin, etc.

I just see this admin. as being especially proficient at it, and stepping way over the line of legal.

2. If I have my way--THEY will have a problem very soon.
IMO, it is our duty as Americans to hold the media ACCOUNTABLE for their blatant disregard for TRUTH! They are the Fourth Estate...a line of defense to protect us---NOT TO HARM US!!!! They have helped to create all of this madness. They must be held accountable.


Peace.

4. Big problem
With calling an act of treason "playing politics".

They didn't call nearly being impeached over a consentual blow job "playing politics".
