All The President's Liars Where the Hell are The Washington Post and New York Times on McClellangate
Edited on Wed Nov-21-07 09:58 AM by spanone
~snip~ Do the investigative reporters at the Washington Post and New York Times fall under the Writers Guild Contract? Are Bernstein and Woodward too busy in makeup? Can the WGA and Producers get together and give satirical news an exemption?

While the Writers Strike keeps The Daily Show from cleverly pointing out the obvious, The Washington Post and New York Times ignore the obvious altogether.

We've been lied to by this White House.

1. Can you imagine Watergate
ever seeing the light of day if we had the same type of reporters then as we have now. What has happened to this country. Where have all the honest, caring patriotic Americans gone. GONE GONE GONE really is a good word they have GONE.

When history looks back on this era of American History what will they say about the republican corporations that bought up all the media and refused to allow any thing to be published about the crooked, corrupt, greedy, war monger ling president and his administration.

Worst president ever, you better believe it...and we should also add worst person(s) ever. bush - cheney - rove and whole bunch of treasons who have ruined this country of ours.

Damn it all to hell, wouldn't just one of you love to be a reporter. Have a newspaper, cable news of network show...Think of the stories you could write. I love America and I am so ashamed of the press we have I wish our half assed congress would pass a law to lock them up "every one".

Watergate would have NEVER been exposed without the WaPo

3. Edwards recently promised he would break up the consolidation of MSM if elected President...
... and that agenda is driving the MSM decision to marginalize him and his campaign.

It goes back to corporate $ which influences government decisions at every level which must be fought head on, and will not be changed by negotiating with them.

4. Where are they is right!
This morning I listened to WJ. Unfortunately, I heard just parts of it....but I heard NOTHING about Scotty! I thought is would be the main question of the morning, first thing out of the blocks, but oh-h-h no, that first question was about gun control in Washington,D.C. That was followed by a discussion wrapped around the FEC. Hopefully, I just missed the "Scotty" part, but I doubt it....sadly. I give up. It's obvious the MSM has it's agenda and we're not on it.
