Musharraf Out, Like Nixon; Bush Still In, Like Flynn
By Ray McGovern

Most of the fawning corporate media (FCM) coverage of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's resignation Monday was even more bereft of context than usual.

It was as if Musharraf looked out the window and said, "It's a beautiful day. I think I'll resign and go fishing." Thus, the lead in Tuesday's editorial in the New York Times, once known as the newspaper of record: "In the end, President Pervez Musharraf went, if not quietly, with remarkably little strife."

Certain words seem to be automatically deleted from the computers of those writing for the Times. Atop the forbidden wordlist sits "impeachment." And other FCM—the Washington Post, for example—generally follow that lead, still.

Very few newspapers carried the Associated Press item that put the real story up front; i.e., that Musharraf resigned "just days ahead of almost certain impeachment." In other words, he pulled a Nixon.

1. Kudos to the Pakistanis.

Our corporate media is afraid of giving the American People any ideas, this is why they're afraid of mentioning the *word pertaining to fruit.

*Hint, the word is not impairment.

Thanks for the thread, sfexpat, I'm going to start dropping the 2000 part if that's ok with you, that sounds too cold or robotic?

Kicked and recommended.
