Reply #106: Let me get this straight/-FOX &NYT's=conspirators Iraq "45 minute claim"

[Carni]

I believe that if you tune into FOX on any given day they are STILL insinuating that the WMD *could exist* and... and... they MIGHT have been moved to Syria (bla bla bla)because certain "sources" believe that they have been!

Let us not forget that Judith Miller (via Chalabi) in the New York Times wrote that Saddam... even though all the weapons inspectors said the bush admin was full of crap HAD the illusive weapons and he could even reign down poison on America in 45 minutes (I guess he was going to bring it by camel)

If I were to even ATTEMPT to try to illustrate all the conspiracy minded bullshit coming out of the mainstream media over the last five years I would spend the rest of my life typing this post...but someone posts something on DU titled "another stupid earthquake question" and the site gets mention on NYT's and FAUX as a hornet's nest of loons?

Now forgive me... but the NYT's and FOX are supposed to employ journalists, not Tom, Dick and Harry exchanging commentary on George Bush and what they think he has done to the country etc.

BTW the Whitehouse issued a statement yesterday stating a small group of conspiracy theorists in the Congress are trying to get a senator to contest the election--it received mention on either CNN or MSNBC (with the brief WH statement)

I personally don't think John Conyers is a tin foil hatter and the point I am trying to illustrate is that this is IMO a talking point hit job.

Now I will get called a conspiracy theorist again... but a tremendous amount of activism regarding the recounting of votes etc is coming from WHAT SOURCE? OH YEAH THAT WOULD BE DU! Gee, what a coincidence!

Even if there is no election fraud (and everyone seems to have a different opinion on that) there are people posting things on DU that are not flattering to the WH regarding the last election.

The WH certainly doesn't want issues of illegitimacy raised about the election (that's a no brainer)

After 2000 when Bush detractors were fighting for their right to a free and untampered with presidency... we were "fringe"

Now we are all *conspiracy* types and with all due respect editing out what might be construed as crap will not solve DU's problems.

If you ask me this site is on their radar (so to speak and that is not to infer that I believe the Government is using microwave technology to track the websites of progressives)
