RE: Plame case: given all the reporters involved in this case isn't it illustrating

[WI_DEM]

how the media in this country is basically a tool for the Bush administration?

1. Actually NO.

The MSM is a tool of corporate america; as is Bush.

2. Bushco depended on/exploited Reporters Ethical Code to protect their sources

That is what gets me. Libby felt he could lie with impunity because a "reporter never reveals a source"

I think that speaks a lot about the lack of integrity of BUSHCO.

3. These creatures took the journalists code of protecting whistleblowers

and used it to pretend they could protect criminals and participate with criminals in crimes against the country - because their bosses have been given orders - from their bosses bosses who are corporate heads who partner with this White House. They don't report to bosses who are higher level journalists, they report to weapon making and propaganda making corporations from the industrial complex whose other partenr is the military.

These journalists make me sick when they pretend that they are protecting whistleblowers and cry about thier code.

There is a distinction and it isn't even a blurry one. Whistleblower protection - yes. Criminal protection - no. And they know it.

Judith Miller was an operative of the war making machine in her role of 'releasing' stuff to make the case for war. She made the case for killing.

These people work for the most vile of corporations.

5. I agree

The Military-Industrial-Complex is their master, and the Military-Industrial-Complex worships the god of war, regardless if it is a just war or not.

And the media has been for -- quite some time -- just a propaganda PR tool for militants,and warmongers.
