Democrats.Com asks why media does not expose Bush earpiece

[papau]

Why does the media not expose the fact that Bush relies on his earpiece for nearly every public event?

Bush Was Wired for NATO Press Conference
by Bob Fertik on 02/22/2005 10:29am. - revised 02/26/2005 5:03am

George W. Bush, who is allegedly on a "charm offensive" across Europe, dropped the charm and was simply offensive at his NATO press conference when he once again relied on a hidden earpiece to feed him canned soundbite answers to reporters' questions.

As NASA scientist Robert Nelson proved last fall, George W. Bush relied on a wireless earpiece in all three of his debates with John Kerry during the 2004 campaign. While bloggers (including Democrats.com http://blog.democrats.com/taxonomy/term/174 , IsBushWired.com http://isbushwired.com/ , MysteryBulge http://www.mysterybulge.com/ , Cryptome http://cryptome.org/bush-bulge.htm , and BushBulge.com http://www.totalwebsites.com/bushbulge/ ) have accumulated overwhelming evidence that Bush was wired, the mainstream media has consistently refused to report on any of this evidence.

Investigative reporter David Lindorff http://thiscantbehappening.net/ has written extensively on Bush's earpiece in Salon.com, MotherJones.com, and Counterpunch.org. On February 3, Lindorff broke new ground with an expose for Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (fair.org) http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2012 reporting that the NY Times had a solid story ready for publication a week before Election Day - but editors killed the story.

Times science writer William Broad, as well as reporters Andrew Revkin and John Schwartz, got to work on the story, according to Nelson, and produced a story that he says they assured him was scheduled to run the week of October 25. "It got pushed back because of the explosives story," he says, first to Wednesday, and then to Thursday, October 28. That would still have been five days ahead of Election Day...<snip>


There are several speaking tics that expose Bush when he is using his earpiece. First, he pauses between sentences for an extra beat, which buys him time to hear the answer he is being fed. Second, when a particular answer is different from his own train of thought, his gaze drops down as he concentrates extra hard on the voice within his ear. Third, he sometimes mumbles and speaks gibberish when his brain and tongue get out of synch. Finally his answers ramble on, going from one stray thought to another, as he "filibusters" to consume all available time.<snip>

He is in the middle of speaking to the press and he suddenly drops his head and mumbles something and then immediately continues speaking. It is seriously one of the oddest things I've ever seen.<snip>

1. Jeez! They should switch back to "manual".

He seemed more realistic with Cheney's hand up his ass.
