What if the Media Focused on All the Crimes of the Bushies???
OH MY GOD!
Jeremiah Wright hates America! Obama does not wear a lapel pin! Puuulease!

Bush lied us into a war in Iraq, he has shredded the constitution, the US military has tortured innocent people, thousands of innocents in Iraq have died, the world is now destablilized and on the edge of a recession, if not in one already, and yet the MSM is still talking about Jeremiah Wright and focused only the Democrats???

Helloooooo?????? Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? Can it be any more obvious how blatantly biased the MSM is toward the right?

Can you just imagine if the MSM started talking about just one of the crimes Bush has committed against this country?? The same way they talk about the Democrats? The only one who does is Keith Olbermann, and then only as much his network will let him. But it's still far from the treatment Bill Clinton got during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and that two consenting adults!
Can you imagine if the MSM had the cajones to be outraged, as they should be, if they were real journalists, at all the crimes of this Bush Administration???

1. If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. Yesterday's news, that.
The fresh stuff IS Jeremiah Wright.

And he is LOVING the spotlight, and giving the press more sound bites than Billy "Billy Beer" Carter EVER did.

There's nothing new in this dynamic. The press always goes for the story that is fresh and compelling, and, like it or not, that's Wright to a tee.

3. McCain and a Confederate Flag Lapel Pin
If the media focused on that, would we still say there is a M$M bias because they are still not following up on Bush's lies?

4. what ... you mean defense contractor GE, owner of NBC?
or Disney, who gets nervous when the Religious Reich organizes a campaign against its sponsors, who owns ABC ...

Or CBS, who got slapped down with an outrageous fine when .01 of a second was shown of a nipple, and yet ...

Fox (owned by Rupert Murdoch) had the NFL show a person with a "Fuck (the other team)" for quite a long time, and the FCC looked the other way, and recently slapped the wrist of Fox with a feather after a "Married With Children" episode had to face media scrutiny?

5. Occasionally I'll still
hear righteous indignation verbalized in a statement that the lying in government started with Bill Clinton denying he got a blow job. all that righteous indignation only flows one way. They excuse Abramhoff, Enron, Vitter, Craig, Foley, Gannon/Guckert, Bush, Cheney, Feith, Pearle, Rumsfeldt, Rove, Ashcroft, Gonzales, Halliburton, Blackwater, Bechtel, Carlyle, and any other host of characters when they do wrong. It's ok. But let Bill tell one lie. You know the old Scottish joke...ya fuck one goat....
