The main-stream media sucks


Bob Regl
If you believe that Bush is a Christian then you don’t know George (or Christianity) - he’s a crude foul-mouthed egomaniacal warmonger who authorizes kidnapping and torture. And if you believe that Cheney is a patriot then you don’t know Dick; he intimidated the CIA and lied about "intelligence" to instigate a war of agression against a country that was no threat to anybody..

It’s not surprising that so many people are ignorant as to who these men really are - the corporate controlled mainstream media have never really taken the kid gloves off when reporting on these traitorous criminals.

Except for Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, where are today’s courageous journalists on ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN who will expose the lies and crimes against humanity of the war-criminals in the White House? I purposely omit FOX because it’s not a news source, but the propaganda arm of the right wing of the Republican Party.

In the printed media where are today’s counterparts of Woodward and Bernstein? At press conferences the White House press corps behaves more like the President’s friends rather than the outraged agents of the public. Who is there to investigate and report real news rather than simply fluff-up administration press releases? Where is today’s Edward R. Murrow who exposed "tail-gunnerJoe" McCarthey?

To stay informed every citizen should get information every day from American and intrnational sources on the internet. A few places to get started are: http://www.buzzflash.com, http://www.informationclearinghouse.info and http://www.legitgov.org
