At the weekly meeting of any main-stream news media discussion as to what the top stories of the week should be:
“First we have a story that a Pulitzer prize winning journalist has accused the Bush Administration of forging a document linking Saddam to Osama Bin Laden in the run up to their war of choice. Then we have the report that Vice President Cheney tried to hatch a plan to have Navy Seals dress up as Iranians and get them into small boats so the U.S. Navy could shoot at them and start another war of choice. We also have the presumptive Republican presidential candidate appearing at a biker rally and offering up his wife to appear in a beauty contest. Or we have Obama saying he does not look like the other people whose faces are on our currency. And finally, we have John McCain comparing the presumptuous Democratic presidential nominee to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.”
So, what stories did they pick to concentrate their efforts on to bolster their ratings? The Executive Branch’s possible high crime of leading the country into war using falsified propaganda? A Vice President, already experienced at shooting at his friends, trying to start WWIII? A candidate pimping his wife for votes? Of course not, this week is all about race, race and more race along with the “fact ” the leading candidate for President is just like last year’s tired blonde airheads.
My advice: Turn off the TVs until the debates when the media lapdogs might have to actually discuss the actual issues facing America. Get out and enjoy the rest of your summer or the driveling pabulum of our 24-hour a day pundits might make your head explode.
