18. I agree...
There have been many cases recently when a "news" organization has reported on this "dilemma." Yet, it was these same organizations that enabled the Bushistas to seize, control, and abuse power.

Just last week, my wife told me about a skit on NPR about Bush's Social Security plans (or lack of them). She said NPR did a parody of the Beatles' tune "When I'm 64" and used lyrics describing if Social Security would be around then. It appeared from my wife's description that the parody was highlighting the excesses and abuses of Bush Social Security no-Plan. I thought the idea was funny and clever, but then I realized it was the same NPR that brought us Bush-fellating propaganda, such as Cokie Roberts's "Bush and his charm offensive" "reports" (Roberts: "Bush is, oh, so charming!") during Campaign2000.

F*ck you NPR. And f*ck you too, NYT. You both, along with your fellow "news reporters" have a long way to go to redeem yourselves.
