So the media whore have already
started their whoring. Anyone seen the news lately regarding the new Al-Qeada leader being happy Democrats won the elections and damning the Bush regime.

How disgusted I am with this bullshit, are we going to stop this nonsense or what?


:grr: :grr:

1. bad publicity from the MSM is considered...
good publicity for the Dems. If they keep up the bad publicity for the next two years then it could be possible that the whole nation will turn Blue from sea to shining sea.

2. The media admits they don't know if it's the leader's voice
We have to get over this stuff. The electorate has pretty much stymied the right wing crazies; they're
going to keep trying and whoring, no matter what. :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :think: :think:
We also heard the tape, and whoever it is, said that "Bush was one of the most stupid presidents ever."

3. If you could sit down
all the MSM representatives and show them how they have cut off world reaction to our elections yet have lunged at a few unnamed people that can vindicate Bush's cynical terrorist memes you could then show them why the fairness doctrine IS coming back. When you shut out and edit the whole world you are now what Pravda is no longer: a Swiss cheese electronic curtain to cloud American's minds away from reality on behalf of their partisan profit champion.

4. They are already calling the
infighting within the Democratic party, this is getting better by the minute.

I know most people here don't watch Wolf anymore ....but this guy is one hell of a character, I'm using the Wes Clark philosophy.

5. In a sense the nonsense is stopped
Think about it - the Internet just won the election.

Yeah yeah the puke spewers will keep spewing their puke - but who is listening?


When I listen, I spew myself - it's that bad.

They were discussing on CNN or MSNBC on Tuesday (Nov 7th) night - just what is it that is happening??

They decided that everyone who had not voted Republican had taken a disloyalty pill- unlike those who still were voting Republican.

No mention of botched policy in Iraq (No it is the Dems whose policies would be botched except in the eyes of the MSM the Dems ain't got no policies)

No mention of Foley or Haggard, of the attack made on the blogger that Allen witnessed, no mention of Halliburton or 2800 dead and counting, or that every day another 5000 people watch videos posted by the 9/11 for truth crowd.

Katrina, incompetence, arrogance, "Mission Accomplished," Generals urging that Rummy resign, again no mention.

6. What is also true
is that the corrupted airways need to be retaken, not merely abandoned. Scissors cuts paper. The most effective public forum remains the passive TV and fake interactive radio and traditional newspapers. In restoring non-partisan professionalism to provide Americans the truth they need there needs to be a liberation of corporate news. The GOP nearly- or did- ruin our political institutions. Our communication and social networking in this day and age needs its health restored.

In fact, we NEVER had it so. The true revolution has begun in the Internet but do not forget the corporate assault, first as competition then as takeover has been warring there as well. The awakening of a new democracy based on full truth investigating and wide open communal interaction should "blowback' into TV land and the others- those passive, often dangerous feeders and bleeders. TO reclaim the airways, as people like Robert parry has been warning, is imperative. Without a "radical" reformulation of news in those media there at least must be competition(coming next year, we hope with not just "progressive" slant but full information access which it will instantly monopolize) and regulation. They cannot be the destructive opposite of what a vital democracy- or civilization of any sort- needs. Public access means public responsibility. Which means public service in the form of journalism and fairness in presentation of opinions. Who among us would not match truth for lies and in our progressive populist viewpoints let the chips fall where they may?

The business world is revolted by "populist" government that might ruin the Ponzi profit spiral and has had their say with money versus people. They always will, but no longer can that be allowed to deny human rights and civil society its very existence. The despotic control of news flow has been a bad joke but an entrenched empire, leaving a world of passive illusions and insane adventures with a fake overcoat of reality in which wolves strut before the mirror. To us, they are naked. With a fuller affirmation of the rule of the whole truth, the freedom of speech, humanity can choose their destiny as now they are only free to choose cigarettes and which gas guzzler to buy.
