2. Because BushCo tells them so, and they repeat it unquestioningly
as a good propaganda tool should. :sarcasm:

5. It's the "Official News" today
MSNBC is all over it, too. "It cannot be denied!" says Joe. "The surge has been a tremendous success because George Bush had the conviction to stick with his convictions despite his terrible approval ratings!" (not an actual quote).

It's fucking sick. The catapult is fully loaded today.

7. Sounds Like A Job For Rick Sanchez...
He's our "man of danger". Let's aend him into Sadr City with no military support or even a Blackwater/Double Canopy escort. It could make for some entertaining television :rofl:

8. all the media are doing it
astonishingly, as if on cue
they really jump to it when the talking points go out.
filthy collaborators... they are an embarrassment to the
very idea of journalism. <SPIT>.

9. What a co-inky-dink! And still no word on Cheney impeachment

I guess that corporate news blackout is a co-inky-dink, too.

Just amazing...

By the way, don't forget that Big BushCo loves you.

I think it's work better than CNN does. We've won. It's over. Load the planes and bring the troops home.

14. Its not just CNN; all the media are doing it, look at your morning newspaper,
we all know the entire point on this. The media is obeying the WH on the news reporting, Laura Ingraham on The View doing the same thing, all the media are doing the republicans bidding and what they can to weaken the dems. I don't even know if any or what reporters are in Iraq anymore.
