Media complicity

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

They're not republican operatives. They simply supported the war. And they must always be right. They must always be smarter than the smart people (see All Gore coverage of 2000). Why do they love the narrative they're now telling? Because they supported this war. So what? Well guess who didn't? DOCTOR Dean. Supreme Allied Commander, General Wesley Clark (Rhodes scholar). They love the fact that they and Chimpy the ass clown (that would be Bush) are simple men (and women) who know right from wrong, good from evil.

If this moment is a success in the war, then they were right, and all of the intellectuals were wrong. There is a real pattern in this country (especially in the media): we are moving towards complete anti-intellectualism. I think the current whoring we see is yet another symptom of this.

I will accept the following alternative :-) a marxist critique that argues that all the media people make 6 figures+ and that they work hard to maintain American economic superiority, even through, or perhaps primarily through, (altogether now) a military industrial complex; they are all primarily white-upper-class males who only see history as told by a Western capiyalistic lens. The females are only an extension of this and can only define their own superiority by becoming "one of the guys" (I give you Ann Coulter's Adam's apple as an explicit example).

1. Some of them are Operatives, Management in Particular

CNN and NPR both employed US Military Psyops in their newsrooms

at least as recently as 1998, iirc.

2. And I just heard a right-winger on talk radio say Saddam killed at least

...two and half million people, and maybe more. I have no idea where he gets that number. I have seen high numbers of 300,000 but many of those were probably killed during the was with Iran and the first Gulf War..Does anyone have official numbers on these Saddam massacres? I'm sure he ran his country like most dictators in that part of the world and many innocent people died, but I'm not sure of that number.
