Boil the frog slowly and watch the results.

[ray of light]

I'm not really advocating boiling a frog as my title suggests.

I'm talking about the analogy in this excellent summary of media and chipping away at free media. I highly recommend sharing it with anyone who thinks the corporate media hasn't brainwashed our nation.

But you also have to look at how they've silenced dissenters by using smears against them. They've also blacklisted, blackballed, harrassed, and taken revenge on anyone who tells the truth. Jesselyn Radack knows. (Read her excellent book and pass it to your right-winged friends who tell you there's a liberal bias. http://www.patriotictruthteller.net/ ) what happened to her is damn scary and it could happen to anyone.

But like Ray McGovern said Clarke and others KNEW before the war that it was planned. They KNEW there were no weapons of mass destruction. Yet, they waited to tell the truth! You can't claim that Jesselyn waited until it was politically correct to speak the truth.

But this all boils down to how the Bush administration and the Republican party as a whole has used smears and hate and lies to slowly boil the frog. (Read the top link to see why I used that analogy.)

Buy Jesselyn Radacks book because Jesselyn's story is one that the media NEVER told you and never will! And after you read it, you tell me that boiling the frog isn't their mo in every single one of their actions: media, voting, hate, suppression, civil rights, education, etc...

Right now, they thought she was their frog. But she's fought back. And her story needs to be shared before it's too late. (08 IS coming and if you don't think your favorite candidate won't find themselves to be the next frog in the pot, then think again.)
