33. This is one of those 'can't win' fights that must be fought.

Don't you think the more ANY media is trashed the better it is for the right since they are the ones molding the minds of their followers? I am not saying it doesn't deserve some major overhauling, that it is a crap media overall but the right are the ones who want people to distrust ALL so they can more easily manipulate the pod people. imho When the whole is distrusted the poddies will go with FOX and Rush and be gone forever.

I haven't read a lot about it but don't you think that this trying to smudge the blogs with this story is just to take credibility from them and help keep the poddies under control...no extraneous thoughts allowed!!!

I guess I am saying what is needed, in a way, plays into their hands because they are about tearing down.

It's kind of like how the repugs will put someone in charge of a government agency who doesn't support it. If you put someone in charge of EPA that wants to undermine it, then when their policies DO undermine it; that's good for republicans. It gets folks to hate or feel their government can't do the job.

Like when EPA told the people in NY the air was OK after 911 when it wasn't. Then the folks who don't know that it was "Bush" policy to lie to them not EPA, they blame the government. It plays into the anti-American right's hands; the worse they are as stewards of our nation the better for they turn around and tell the pod people, "see I told the government was bad."

Like Bush put a Moon operative in charge of Americorp. Well, Americorp eats into what the "faith based" groups are spose to do...the next thing you know Bush slashes money for Americorp. What will people say? You got it, "Damb the government can't get the job done, we need to privatize and faithatize."

I could go on but it would be even more confusing with my writing. haha

Hey, Gorenfeld has a post up on how Armstrong had a "change of heart" when it comes to one guy's dough.

and if you want to see where the money came from to pay him and finance the theofascist's takeover of our country read the notes starting with #45 here.
