Now that we have the Congress back, isn't it time for us to declare total legal/political war on the Judas media?
**********************************************************************
A contemptible fact which stands out above all others during the last six years is that America's unofficial "4th branch of government" (i.e., the press) has utterly sold its soul to the Bush/Republican Heart of Darkness.
Of course, there are a handful of wonderful exceptions to this rule, but they're simply the exceptions which prove the rule. If a year or two ago, George Bush announced that it was patriotic to wear your underwear on the outside of your clothes, a zombie army of anchors and columnists would start preaching the doctrine that only terrorists wear their underwear on the inside.
And "preach" is the word since it's increasingly impossible to distinguish between the "news reports" of these fascist collaborators, and the death wish, Armageddon "sermons" of sexually preoccupied religious fundamentalists.
The simple truth is that we haven't had (and STILL don't have!) a level playing field when it comes to journalistic news. Indeed, genuine journalists (in America) are now effectively an extinct species.
So here we are. Bush is beyond being a lame duck; he's more like a packaged collection of legs and thighs in a grocery store. He has been permanently mandated into the dust bin of history and will be lucky if he isn't impeached and imprisoned.
The Bush/Republican/Fundamentalist juggernaut isn't juggering anymore. Yes, it's still out there emitting sparks and smoke, but it’s not going to go very far with a pitiful 31% support.
So what are we waiting for? Let's start doing whatever we have to do (and now CAN do) to get this neo Nazi pap out of our media. Petitions, boycotts, committees, whatever, whatever, but let's maximize our creativity to work out how to get this Rupert Murdoch-like infection out of the body politick of America.
Remember back in year 2000 how much despair was added to our lives by assuming that Fox Snooze, etc., was giving factual, objective news about that stolen election? We were still naive enough to think that we were listening to journalists. Only later, did we gradually realize that our media had become to America what the collaborators were to France during WW2 (they would do well to remember how France treated those collaborators after the war).
Only later did we realize that our media was almost entirely made up of puppet people -- liars and traitors who had somehow crowded out all our journalists.
But the hands inside those puppets have suddenly shriveled. Karl who? Dick Cheneyburton? Georgie Porgie?
God knows, we still have our work cut out for us on several levels. This fascist/fundamentalist thing that took over our government is almost certainly now getting its second wind, but THIS time our guard is up and THIS time we've got both houses of Congress (and all those potent committees).
And THIS time we know its time to kick the Judas media's ass all the way to Jupiter.
So, let’s all pull our legs back and one, two, . . .
