| 41. I disagree with Cleland on one point, Karl Rove and/or Saxby Chambliss couldn't do shit |
|
without the silent acquiescence if not outright support from the dysfunctional corporate media.
How many of them in real time called Rove or Chambliss on their slanders, how many networks or television stations turned down commercial money comparing Cleland to Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein.
Karl Rove couldn't carry their jock straps much less "take away Cleland or Kerry's service" without a corporate media; willing to sell their collective soul for profit and or job security, the truth meant nothing and to a large degree ie; health care still doesn't.
