So now Two different agencies have been caught paying 'columnists'
This seems to me to be more than a coincidence. Bush said in his press conference today that the White House was not aware of it, but c'mon. Two different agencies had the exact same idea? Someone was coordinating this propaganda outreach program at taxpayer expense.

The thing that is really starting to tick me off is the lack of outrage over this and the fact that no one is EVER held accountable for this shit in this administration. Congressional investigations were started for so much less during the Clinton administration. The country is cynical and doesn't care, the media only covers the loud squeaky wheels and the Democratic party has none of those. It's just outrageously sad.

I'm in a bad mood today, can you tell?

1. Here You Go...
I think every media-hype-type who's
pro-Bush is suspect nowadays.

Hell, Faux News is a complete network
dedictaed to lying for the GOP.

And can you say Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, et al?

2. I think people *are* pissed.

But here's the problem. Investigating this would make two groups look very bad:

1. Republicans, who control the government
2. Corporate Media, which controls the dialogue

4. Fuzz, Fuzz, Fuzz
Bush says he doesn't know about it (did you know Hitler ordered there be nothing in writing to him about the exterminattion camps?), and it isn't policy, and that anyone who says otherwise is anti-American! And he is the president!
