How do they ***actually*** do it ........ ?

[Stinky The Clown]

Is it in smallpaper bags left at predetermined drops in city parks?

Does a guy in a raincoat peel 'em off their due from a big fat wad secured with a fat rubber band?

Maybe it's sent by one DC's famous bicycle couriers, one to each office?

Maybe its manilla envelopes 'forgotten' in the back seats of the city's cabs?

Maybe its more sophisticated, like anonymous deposits to Bahamian numbered accounts?

I mean, really. I wanna know. How do guys like Wolf Blitzer and Chris Matthews, and Robert Novak, among many others, get their weekly gubmint checks?

For all the honest news reporting of the last week or so, today it was back to business as usual.

Will Rita be back in Aruba tonight, along side Greta?

Will Lary King say anything ... ANYthing .... relevant?

Will Regular Joe be back in full throat song - maybe about Saint John of Roberts - or showing his 'outrage' in Mississippi?

Make no mistake, getting an HONEST media is our biggest hurdle. Bigger than BBV, IMHO. If we had an honest media, there would be coast to coast outrage at the voting irregualrities.

The media IS the issue.

2. He is a whore among whores

The hoariest of the whores

He got the golden kneepad award from his peers

His nose would be broken if Rove ever stopped short

4. It's the easiest way out, side with the big and powerful

9 out of 10 times you will come out OK, it's the 10% thats the real bitch.

8. Wolf is a Jerk...

3. I think that once a week some of them (the ones that can't be

bought) get a recent picture of a loved one or of themselves with the crosshairs of a rifle scope centered on them. The ones like Novak probably have had offshore accounts for years.

5. The checks aren't weekly, they're annually

In the form of big tax refunds.

BushCo is idiotic, but not stupid. These news celebs are well paid, and benefit handsomely from BushCo's tax cuts. Not to mention the implicit threats of "you'll never work in this town again." These people are attention whores, remember. It takes a "special" person to want to be a bubblehead reading someone else's words. These people aren't even reporters, they're NEWSREADERS. And there are, what? ten jobs in all of America for them?

Bush: "Sure...cross me Leslis Blitzer, and you'll be lucky if you get a job as the mascot on the WB!"

Follow the money. Everything, abso-fucking-lootly everything Bush does has its roots in money. He paid off Florida victims for their votes. He paid off Afghan soldiers to surrender. He paid off Americans with a $300 tax rebate. He's even attempting to pay off the NO survivors with a $2000 gift card. He is running American like a business. And in business these days, you don't get nothin' without greasing some palms.

6. Just read The Daily Howler

and burst out weeping.

EVERYTHING is destroyed beyond repair.

Yes, Landrieu is hapless, but the media are vermon. Why does Mrs. Greenspan even appear on our TV screens? And how about that picture of all those school buses under water? The right-wing's latest weapon.

Katrina has made it clear that the UberClass will contine thier fantasy double-speak chit-chat while the rest of us die.

And John Roberts, the Stepford Fascist, will be confirmed as Chief Justice and this country will be cast further into the dark ages for generations to come.

I have seen my country turn into "Good Germans."

7. Is anyone really surprised by this

It's gallop's and by proxy CNN's job to prop up Bush. You only need look back to the last 2 presidential elections to verify that.

[Ready4Change]

9. They get to keep their jobs.

The owners of the companies for which the reporters work let them keep working, so long as they keep mouthing the words sent to them by the Administration those owners paid to get into office.

The ones you do expecially well get fancy sets and graphics. The ones who don't do so well are slowly, quietly sidelined. The ones who dare speak up on their own are "resigned."

[AX10]

10. Cable "News" is but a propaganda outlet for the Bush regime.

Read the papers and the Internet.
