Reply #3: Russert epitomizes what is wrong with the MSM

[ixion]

And the bible verse question at the debate :wtf: is a perfect example of the media framing in the image desired by the neocons, and why it will be so difficult to reverse this process. Every time the framework is presented and validated (by responding to such stupid questions) we move a little further from reality. At some point, we're not even going to know what the hell reality is anymore. We'll only know how it's been framed. Recalibrating reality, if you will, is a very dangerous thing to do...but that's never stopped any dominant civilization from doing so, and it is that redefinition of reality to conform to the will of the dominant state that has ultimately been that state's downfall.

So thanks, Mr. Russert, for perpetuating the Great Lie, and leading us ever closer to our own demise.
