CNNMSNBCFOX: From ALL War, to "What War"? |
|
hey everybody, remember the shock and awe 24/7 coverage of the glorious revenge war? constant, minute by geraldo rivera minute of the magnificent, blood thirsty horror and an orgasm of nationalism and vengeance. what ever happened to all that?
now you'd barely know a war was on, with michael jackson and the runaway bimbo. if you really try, you can catch little snippets of war reports, stated as dry statistics, with fleeting images.
even though the carnage is horrific, the man playing president says 'wur makin' progress'. DAILY suicide bombings, daily g.i. deaths, but you'd never know it.
fuckers.

2. If we were winning the war, it would be back to "all war" coverage... |
|
But since we aren't, PRAVDA-USA is mum on it...

3. As far as I'm concerned CNNMSNBCFOX |
|
are now completely irrelevant. They're churning out a news product, rather than real news. It's not fit for consumption. No thanks!
(I think we can agree to leave Olbermann out of this because he's at least addressing our concerns.)

It's basically a "don't look behind the curtain" type of ordeal. If people are considerned with other stories like this they won't think about any of the important issues.

5. Most of my hatred is directed at the WaPo and Len Downie |
|
I still seethe over the treatment the beltway whores gave Clinton. They now give chimpie a pass, even thought he is directly responsible for 1500 dead American servicemen and women. The reasons for the war were fuckin' lies, but Len Downie is too busy sucking Bush's dick to ever notice or care. I don't think I will ever get over my hatred for the beltway whores. I include so called liberals, namely the so called left on Capital Gang. Margaret Carlson could die and I would not mourn one god damn minute. The same for Mark Shields and Al Hunt.

Propaganda designed to dissensitize, and we blame the others who took part of it.
