Corporate media's on the 'beating down bush' bandwagon
It's popular to trash him on this right now. Not all the propaganda mouthpieces like Wolfie Blitzer are on it.

This is the same media that has ignored Plame, DSM, Halliburton and every other scandal that would have brought down most other administrations.

They'll be back into 'support the leader' mode in no time at all.

1. Media needs an intervention as much as anyone, enablers that they are!

2. HE IS USELESS TO THEM NOW.
They (I mean the powers that be) don't care about him any more than they do the black and the poor.

9. Wrong. He is a lame-duck scapegoat.
They can pin all the blaim on him and keep the GOP congress and get a "better" GOP candidate for 2008 so we'll have nothing to complain about.

He is actually very useful to them right now. The right man at the right time. And he *is* an amoral idiot after all, and we all know it which makes it even easier to convince the sheeple to put all the blame on him.

3. When the bodies are counted this will dwarf 911.
This just proves all that rally round the flag "gotta make the homeland more secure" talk was empty bullshit propaganda to whip up support for war. We are way less prepared for tragedy than we were
before 911.

4. they had so many opportunities
But we couldn't avert the worse catastrophe of the history of this country despite the warning signs thaqt Bush appoints his friends with no experience to important posts like the head of FEMA.... this should not have happned..... if God is my witness, this will never happen again!!!!!!!!!!

We have to continue to remind people of the incomptence until we are rid of this trash. I hate to admit it, but this is the most disgraceful ammunition we could have... its so sickening that somthing like this HAS to happen to ask for accountability.

8. I think the owners
will continue but the reporters on the ground are beginning to jump ship. It will be interesting to see what happens. I do not watch them, did a little CNN watching this week and was astonished by what I heard and then what I have read here. If the reporters wake all the way up we may have a chance to get some of these things out into the general publics view.

10. No diaster plan and no propaganda plan
This is the source of the uncharacteristic frank comments leaking through the corporate filter.
