ARRGHH!! I can't stand the Orwellian media!!!
Just flipping through the channels this morning, first I saw the simpletons of "Fox & Fiends" Interviewing the toe-licker, Dick Morris, who speculated that Dean will nominate HILLARY, but then is "bound to lose".

Then there was Imus, who commented that "with his flailing arms and hair hanging in his face", that Gore at the endorsement "looked like HITLER"!!! Would they EVER say this about the MUCH more Hitlerish Dumbya? Please!

Then I look at some Fox again, where they are blathering about how Gore "betrayed" Lieberman. Does NOBODY on the media remember ANYTHING that happened more than 30 days ago? Lieberman, after hurting Gore's standing in the election, stabbed him in the back by saying he was wrong to have fought for the election that was RIGHTFULLY HIS.

I guess it's just like how they forgot about the spy plane downed in China and the Ehime Maru disaster. ARGGHH! I hate the whore media!

3. Don't let Corporate TV Pravda get you down
Of COURSE there are Orwellian double-standards (and Doublethink, too)

Of COURSE these Imperial footmen would NEVER DARE criticize Der Fuhrer in such away, even to the point of not even repeating what he said or what transpired in most cases.

Truth is anathema to Totalitarians like the Busheviks and their bootlickers.

I'd say look at how the Russians persevered, but Comrade Putin is following the Bushevik playbook to the letter in eviscerating the fledgling freedoms of the Russian People.

Pay no mind to state-coerced Corporate Pravda, not to mention the Party-Loyal Right-Wing Sub-Media. It's no more going anywhere that the Nazi or Soviet media it is modeled after.

7. heh
imus is a joke. but gore did look a little odd with that hair-do (a pre-emptive comb-over?)...

and in the clip i saw, he was trying a little too hard to be "passionate", pointing and gesticulating and nearly yelling. it looked a little too much like an overt attempt to compensate for the perception of him as a wooden and lifeless speaker.

8. "wooden and lifeless speaker"
You left out "he said he invented the internet". And, the earth-tones.....

Fairly low quality "agitprop" here.
