The Neonazicon's "Good News" Offensive - The media relents, and then some.

[Flying_Pig]

In what had to be one of the most sickening days of propaganda dissemination since G.W. Bush and his band of neonazicons forcibly took over this country, all of the major television networks embarked on a campaign of presenting stage managed "Good News" reports on Iraq.

Last night, major nightly news shows on both NBC and CBS, had copious film footage and multiple stories about "good news" coming from Iraq. Both network's attempts at delivering this propaganda, seemed forced, phony, and fully produced. NBC was the worst, of course, going so far as to show a desperate, and disheveled looking Iraqi woman attempting to give Paul Wolfowitz a "hug", afterwards, no doubt, receiving a bag of rice or a few dinars for her acting prowess.

They also had footage of Wolfowitz coursing the streets of Baghdad, playing the part of the benevolent conqueror, fully protected by an armada of troops, with helicopter gun ships flying overhead. The real feelings of the Iraqis towards Wolfowitz's little "victory walk", was later shown in the downing of a Black Hawk helicopter he was thought to riding in, and in his hotel being rocketed, with Wolfie barely escaping a slightly different version of the Iraqi's "thankful embrace".

We can also be certain, that the "Good News" offensive will be carried on in the Sunday news shows, and probably for several more weeks, until they have reached the saturation point. It will be a good time to keep the remote, and a barf bag, handy.

The media, complicit since the pre-election days of 2000 in helping to promote Commander Bunnypants, is now in full swing in an attempt to save his ass. Their managed propaganda efforts could not be anymore transparent. They've managed to bury the CIA/Wilson story, the Halliburton/Bechtel stories, the Enron story, the Cheney Energy Panel story, and on, and on, and on. The media, is as complicit as anyone, for continually foisting this fascist regime's propaganda on the nation, and in helping to hold the regime up in the face of enough evidence to bring about, what should be, its spectacular, and complete, demise.

The efforts of the media on behalf of this corrupt cabal, is certainly a gauge as to the health of our democracy. Instead of playing the part the Fourth Estate was intended to play in the support of our democracy, they have now completely, and totally, submerged themselves into a stinking pit of fascistic propaganda. If a Democrat is elected president, one of their first acts must be an executive order re-instituting the "Fairness Doctrine". They must also seek indictments of media kingpins under the RICO statutes, and seek ways to permanently break up all media conglomerations. In addition, several media principals and lead propagandists should face a Nuremberg type trial for their efforts to aid this regime, and for the treasonable acts they have engaged in.

Further, it is also a good time to reflect on all of the reasons and powers behind the obvious media conspiracy to support this regime. There is more at work here than simple Republican/conservative allegiance among the owners and managers of this nation's media. Much more. There are "forces" that are exerting considerable influence on our media, over and beyond the usual, and highly visible suspects. They too must be exposed, and then marginalized. Rather than name these forces, I'll leave it to your imagination to figure out who, and what they are.

1. I am assuming

that there is a huge market out there media with substance.

2. One would think, there would be a huge market for The Truth.

The best media, takes no sides, but simply presents the facts. What we have now, is a media that not only creates and molds the news, they also act, in an brazenly overt way, as propagandists. This isn't free press, it's freaking fascist infomercials.

3. you are right on the money, as usual

"The efforts of the media on behalf of this corrupt cabal, is certainly a gauge as to the health of our democracy."

As the other poster suggested - if the media were truly market driven - there would have been a FOX news equivalent for the anti-war, anti-Bush positions by now. That this hasn't happened is a true indication that the media is not entirely market driven.

4. That really is a good point!

Given that a majority of this nation supported Al Gore, and his more liberal/centrist positions, one would think the media, if it were truly market driven, would want to appeal to this group in an effort to reap the economic rewards of giving the audience what it wants.

Viewed like that, it makes it even more scary, to see how ideologically driven the media is. More important than money to them, is getting their co-conspirators' message out. Now what factor, or ideology, makes them so committed? If it's not the "golden calf" of money, then what is it?
