The changes that have occurred at CNN in just the past few months is alarming. We all know that Faux News, The Republican Leaning Channel, has constantly bent, spun, and distorted the truth since Bush came into power; ABC wasn’t much better, but CNN used to be the one channel where an individual could actually find some news minus all of the government spin and propaganda. Then they hired Glenn Beck, a right-wing Rethuglican who is attempting to catch-up with the likes of Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and the crowd at Faux News, headquarters for fascist USA’s propaganda system. This evening, I glanced at CNN’s Political Ticker and read an article in regard to Mitt Romney and his unbridled disgust that Vladimir Putin had been chosen as Time Magazine’s Man of the Year. Reading the article and knowing what’s happening to our own country was what was really disgusting, especially these quotes by Mitt Romney and John McCain that CNN doesn’t discuss or offer commentary to the otherwise:
If only Vladimir Putin was the only one one that “squelched public dissent and free press” we would be OK, but anyone that gets their news from the Internet knows that George W. Bush has done the same thing, yet Romney criticizes Putin on the matter and doesn’t say a word about our own cowardly press, or the many times that peaceful protesters have been arrested, and others added to a “terrorist watch list” just because they disagreed with the government. You will also note that CNN also remains silent wile Romney makes quips that equally apply to the United States. To add insult to injury, John McCain goes on to say that General Petraeus should be man of the year because he “brought success in Iraq.” Oh, so Iraq in now a “success”; by what parameters does Mitt Romney or John McCain decide that our mission in Iraq has been successful? According to icasualties.org, fourteen (14) U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq so far this month - and it isn’t over yet. How many U.S. lives per month add-up to a “success in Iraq?” What about Basra? Based on what I’ve read, Basra is no more of a success than anywhere else, except US troops aren’t there, and now the British are also gone. This is an excerpt from Time Magazine online:
Iraqis are still dying from the sectarian violence LINK and the Turkish Army just finished an incursion into Northern Iraq, preceded with air strikes and artillery bombardments that have killed civilians, including women and children, in their attempts to quell the Kurdish rebellion and cross-border attacks from Iraq:
http://justanothercoverup.com/ I am nothing more than a patriotic American that is doing whatever I can to further the cause of democracy, the rule of law, and am absolutely outraged on how the Bush administration is defying our Congress, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Footnote: I write in a style that I believe is appropriate in today's world where we can't trust the Mainstream News Media, and rather than concentrating on one article alone, which may or may not receive the exposure and emphasis it should, I prefer to meld several relevant stories together, that each taken alone may not expose the entire situation, but when taken-in as a whole, tend to give the reader a better understanding of the subject. One article or story alone does not represent the "Big Picture" - but when several are effectively tied-together it often reveals a trend or broader view of the subject matter that is important to completely understand any given situation. http://justanothercoverup.com/
