Time for the media to wake up and tell the truth about Bush and the war ?
They have cheerleaded since day one of this tragedy. Still they refuse to accept any responsibility or to tell the truth about Bush or the war. The man lied. He lied intentionally. Our troops are still dying. How long must this go on? The war is a fraud. No amount of lipstick or lying will make this pig pretty. Wake up media! Do your job. Tell the truth. The war is based on lies. The president of the United States intentionally lied to put us into this quagmire. The evidence is all there. All you have to do is report it. Admit your guilt and let's move forward.

1. Everyone needs to take action
The only way the rest of the country will wake up to the lies and deceit of this administration is to get the information into the MSM. The sheep won't get it until they're hit over the head with it about a thousand times. We all need to call or e-mail and let the major networks (sheep don't read newspapers)know that we don't want to hear about Natalee or the Runaway Bride or Michael Jackson anymore. We want them to report on things that really matter. If we all e-mail and call and let them know that we're fed up with their "news"...sooner or later they'll get the message.

2. It's Not Going to Happen
The networks have been scurrying back onto the reservation ever since
Comey's departure and replacement with Bushbot McCallum was announced.
That move will certainly mean the end of the Plame investigation.
They once again fear the regime and will do its bidding.

Freedom as to tell the truth about the War in Iraq.


Wait: they are starting the War Beat to the War in Iran.

4. Don't give up...
The TV people put on what they think the public wants to see. The reason Natalee and the Bride get so much airtime is because people watch it. Most of us aren't Nielsen households so our viewing choices don't show up in the ratings. That's why we need to be proactive and let them know what we want to see reported and discussed.

5. Sure is; this is the message I've
been yammering about since the son of a bitch was installed in office.
Bush is a liar, a cheat, and treasonous murderer--what does "half" of America have to be proud of anyway?

6. Arundhati Roy
"It's a mistake to think that the corporate media supports the neo-liberal project. It is the neo-liberal project. It is the nexus, the confluence, the convergence, the union, the chosen medium of those who have power and money. As the project of corporate globalization increases the disparity between the rich and the poor, as the world grows more and more restive, corporations on the prowl for sweetheat deals need repressive governments to quell the mutinies in the servants' quarters. And governments, of course, need corporations. The mutual dependence spawns a sort of corporate nationalism, or more accuately, a corporate/nationalism--if you can imagine such a thing. Corporate/nationalism has become the unwavering anthem of the mass media."

The media is the government.
