46. A couple of weeks ago a woman wrote a LTTE to our local

paper complaining about pro-Bush media bias. Some idiot wrote a response this week saying the woman was completely wrong and that, if anything, the media is "liberal" and "out to get Bush." Clearly a consumer of kool-aid.

If we had a media that made any effort to tell the unvarnished truth, Americans would know about PNAC. They'd be familiar with the name Jeff Gannon. They'd have seen the photo of Rumsfeld shaking Saddam's hand. They'd have seen split screen coverage of chimp yukking it up on a fundraising trip while people drowned in New Orleans. They'd have heard about "My Pet Goat" long before Michael Moore brought it to light. They'd know that Bush ended the day 9/11/01 with a laugh. They'd know about the newspaper study that reached the conclusion that Gore won in 2000.

All of the above, and much, much more, has been mentioned, briefly in the corporate whore press, and then quickly buried while Laci Peterson or Natalee Holloway or Paris Hilton or Anna Nicole got all the attention.

I hope that in his next film Michael Moore takes on and exposes the media whores. He'd have to get the film distributed outside corporate channels, but it would be an eye-opener for a lot of people.
