What do we do, when they blame the media?
Because, of course, the media is what they have been setting up to blame for any failure in "the war on terror" since this began.

And as the BFEE fiasco is growing, so are they ratcheting up the cry that it's the fault of "negative reports" from Iraq...the "leftist bloggers" and MSM pundits who "undermine our efforts" and "give aid and comfort to the enemy."

It may only be a few months before some folks in the media are actually told to "shut the fuck up. Now." I mean not the way they are nicely told now..

You know, the really mean way.

How many have to be told that? In what places.In what strengths. With what capabilities?

Parameters may actualy need to be drawn soon as to hat one can say, in some places.

1. Someone needs to tell them straight out:
"We told you it was a stupid fucking idea from the beginning, that these idiots didn't know what they were getting into, and they fired the people that DID tell them that. So don't act surprised that it all went to shit when WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO. Blame it on the people who decided to go to war with insufficient troops, inadequate armor, and bad intelligence, not those of us who tried to tell you from the beginning that you were all screwing the pooch.

"And if you want to blame the media, blame them for cheerleading at the time when they should have been asking 'what the fuck are these people thinking?'"

4. But the media didn't say that...
The media was largely complicit in fomenting this illegal war from the beginning. Which makes it easier for the BFEE to grab it by its already saliva-stiffened neck folds, shake it, and growl, "Now get back to my teat, pup!"

From whence the BFEE will crow to the morning news dumpsters: "The media, with their negativity, lost us this war."

And while their litter-mates lie dying, or dead, around them, certain whelps of the press will whimper and whine out stories of how the man who puts puppies in bags is really looking out for the best and rest of us....and they'll say yes, we should have praised all the great things happening in the war, surely then we would have won...

3. Ask them if they heard that on Fox, or CNN, or maybe...
...the "liberal media" was a theory posed by Rush Limbaugh, EIB network, Hate Talk Radio, Michael Reagan, G Gordon Liddy, "Dr." Laura Schlessinger, Shawn Hannity or Bill Oreilly?

Or maybe they heard it on Firing Line with William F. Buckley.

Maybe the papers keep saying it, however 90% of the daily newspapers over the past 20 plus years endorsed, Reagan, Reagan, Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush and Bush for President.

Or maybe,aw screw it. You get the picture,and they'll never get the irony of the whole thing anyway...
