Big Media is Squandering Vast Quantities of Cred |
|
by tip toeing so "innocently" past the "Gannon" scandal. I don't think they get it yet -- that as an institution they are on weak ground with both the right and the left. The more they ignore, downplay and spin the Bush White House Gay Reporter-Prostitute, the more cred they squander.
They are, by their own inaction, rendering themselves irrelevant
"A civilian gang of thieving lobbyists for the military industrial complex is running the White House. If to be against them is considered unpatriotic -- Hell, then call me a traitor." -- Hunter S. Thompson, ABC Radio Network...

1. a liar is anyone who calls bush 'president' |
|
even the most prestigious elected office on earth cannot hide what bush is...and his media groupies aren't helping him at all by insulating him from criticism (in fact, that could have been a good way for the dems to insist the ms media do their job; failure to do so resulted in bush doing things that must ultimately prove self destructive, and that was bad for bush, bad for america, and bad for the world- fortunately, no one tried that tack, and thus bush now has nowhere to go, and his followers with him, but down down down!)

Sabotage the routers? :shrug:

4. The media has been irrelevant for me, for some time now. |
|
I hope that the masses will one day finally get the message. That is when the media's credibility will be called into question. When the lemings awaken! Until then, the media continues to have more power than they should.

5. Wrong- they lose credibility if it IS reported. |
|
And if it acts as a gateway for more info on media bias & corruption...
That is why I find it so funny that everyone is expecting the media to tell us how corrupt & untrustworthy they are- why on EARTH would they do that???
It still does not stop DEMs from going on their shows and talking about it
