What I Know & When I Knew It

For nearly 5 interminable years the mainstream media says next to nothing about election irregularities (fraud), not one election but many. The MSM told us of Clintons looting, destroying government property, trashing the White House. The same media that nixed pretty much anything Clark, Kay, Blix, and Ritter ever said gave us visions of a mushroom cloud around Condi's tired hairdo and new shoes. The same media told us of hijackers who carried magic passports resistant to fiery infernos. They gave us Colin Powell reciting lies to the UN. Gave us "let's roll" stories and ground zero heroes, gave us staged Bush photo-ops with bullhorns, on flight deck, the ranch cowboy silhouetted in one pose after another. The media that has more theme music than Shaft and can blend sob scenes to tear your heart out, raising flag poles, lowering flags to half mast. And who can forget the Bush glowing halo or backdrop of Jesus. The MSM backed the WMD and Iraq War without question. The MSM played home on the range for years, uttered nary a disparaging word against this government or its policies.

I'm a regular Jane Doe, with no inside high level sources, no spooks and spies or agencies reporting to me, no investigative tools or budget, but I knew there were no WMD and that Saddam was no threat. I knew Bush was lying every time he opened his mouth. I knew Bush was a pathological liar after the first Gore debate. And I knew the moment I saw the first plane hit that 9/11 was an inside job, and required the elite owned press for the coverup.

The mainstream media not only gave Bush a pass but has actively promoted the lies of government. From day 1 Bush's sociopath personality, obvious during the first campaign, has been ignored. From the first debates with his gloating smirk of deathrow inmates to his consistent inappropriate responses to any and all situations, the press gave him a pass. In truth, the media made George. The press took a foul mouth windbagging blueblood drunkard and made him just like one of you, a foul mouth windbagging zealous Joe Crusader.

In 1999 the WaPo wrote a 7 part ridiculous series extolling the life that made George W. the man he is today. The press doing their job, carrying the banner for the future boy king, as they were told. (The article humbly tells us Boy George's daddy, in 1948, earned a wee $375 a month, but didn't tell us that's equivalent to $3100 a month today, a salary millions of Americans would appreciate now, all the way to the bank.) The major outlets spent years grooming the image of Bush for Joe Crusader appeal, blue shirted, downhome boy "on the wagon" in a pickup truck, clearing brush on a phony new ranch.

In the past several weeks some on the left claim the press is waking up, the press is finally doing it's job, the media is finally asking the tough questions. Suddenly the press has testicles. Sure. Almost overnight the press tell us polls have turned against Bush. We've reached a "tipping point." This near instant "tipping point" began to emerge around May, picked up speed with the Sheehan coverage, and Katrina definitely put Bush down the Zogby. Another term coined for the peons, "tipping point" and almost as useful as urban legends of "cow tipping."

The press has always and continues to promote the agenda the elite orders it to promote. Whether it’s the Pentagon Papers or Deep Throat it is planned, staged, reported, manipulated, and we the people think its news, call it truth, and bleat how free we are because another schmuck did something magnanimous when he actually was following orders from the powers that be. But here we are again, with the MSM becoming a friend once more, maybe, because it questions Bush policy. After years of press coverage portraying Bush as the man who could speak no wrong and do no wrong, the press is "doing its job." Sure they are. And I'm going "cow tipping" tonight.
