What Will It Take To Induce the MSM to Attack the Torture Apologists?

[Mr. Ected]

Lots and lots of neocon torture defenders and very little hard-hitting journalistic rebuttal. What will it take to turn the tide? What will it take for these jellyfish pundits to condemn the practice of torture?

1. I know what will work!!! The MSM could give the news back to real journalists

But I'm not holding my breath for that.

3. They Have Been...

Sadly not enough, but watching Tweety yesterday, you could hear the contempt for Cheeeeney come out and him having plenty of negative to say about the booooosh regime and those whose names have come forward in this scandal. Of course, the story was big on Ed Schultz, Countdown and Rachel's program...overall 6 plus hours of non-stop talk about this issue. This is far more than we could have expected 2 or 4 years ago, but your point is noted...it's still not enough.

There's no say Faux Noise would try to cover this objectively...it hits too close to home and many of the corporate stenographers in the beltway purposely avoided this story cause it was too "dangerous" to cover or were just too lazy to do what they should have. Now, they're trying to cover their own asses...minimalize not only the story, but why they fell asleep at the switch.

I think the parade of torture enablers is backfiring...there's absolutely NO justification and the more they try to claim how "valid" it was or that it "worked", it's all based on hypotheticals and lies...not a shread of fact. The good thing is the media filter isn't as pervasive as it once was. More and more people are turning off the teevees and finding their own information on the internet.

4. I hope everyone who hasn't seen it yet looks up "War, Inc" and

watches it.

We will NEVER hear the media come around.

5. Great movie. If you like your comedy nice and pitch black.

6. A complete restructuring of our whole plutocratic corporate political structure is all.

7. When the Teabaggers own the media, there is little we can do.

I imagine it went like this..

ut went from Dick Armey to the dbags at GE who must have sent it to Santelli and then for good measure, Faux jumps in to get the super wingnuts.

They own it all and lease to us a two hour jerk off because they want our liberal dollars during Rachel and Keith.
