Is is that hard to admit that the media is on your side? Jesus. You'd rather sound like your fucking homey Vidal than just admit that the media has been in Bush's ass. Has the media been as hard as they could be? No. Do they take radical leftist stances against him like fucking Gore Vidal? No. But to act like the media has been on Bush's side is an utterly ridiculous estimation.

The media hints at Bush's incompetence without actually saying. It is popular to say this and doesn't make them actually report any of the shady dealings and flat out lies he's involved in that require a lot more than just some idiot. It's their way of acting like we're in this downward spiral because Bush is simply a moron. But the fact is we're in the mess we are because his policies only benefit an elite, very select few....the rest of us are getting the short end big time. And instead of reporting about all the fucked up shit him and his adminstration are getting away with, the media prefers to just dodge the nitty gritty and say yeah, Bush is a bafoon. It might help if the media actually did their job instead of the exact opposite which is helping to keep this shit covered and deliberately not reporting about it.

the problem is the loosely connected dealings...when you talk about the media you have to consider the idea of libel and slander...as long as this administration, and the individuals which comprise the core of this administration, is able to cloak itself in that protective clothing, you will never see the mainstream media say anything outright.

people that rely on mainstream media to sort out facts are severely lacking in the fact and reality portion of their comphrehension.

There's that and then there is also complete whitewashes and coverups with more than enough proof to go public. And they sure don't worry about libel and slander when they are taking these false leads directly from the state department.

Of course, but that doesn't mean that they are doing their job either....if journalism and their duty to report the truth means anything to them, anyways.
