61. I don't usually even see
how the stupid Corporate media spins these things (and I've missed most of the threads) - but I was at someone else's house this a.m. - who had one of the networkTV stations on - and the news kept showing over and over Irwin with his baby - dangling him in the vicinity of the crocodile/alligator or whatever. And that was all they showed of him.

It was pretty clear from that - and how people have said they have seen this spun - that the media wants people to see him as some kind of monster-freak. Being the corporate - "we don't give a crap about the environment" - media - > that is not a surprise.

So we either have people falling for that sort of nonsense or shit stirrers or freepers or whatever.
