Like Sharks in Water / The Media Can Taste Blood
Edited on Mon Jul-14-03 10:56 PM by Homer12
Chris Matthews tonight proves my point exactly.

The new psuedo-journalist celeberities, pundits, etc... can taste the scandal. After the war the praises for GW were omnipresent; NOW, their tearing into the Bush administration with long pointy teeth, tearing their credebility with every inacuracy, pass-the-blame tactic, and overall arrogance that has been and is so prevelant from te Bush administration.

Even more level handed hard-news media shows on CNN, even whore-like MSNBC, can smell the fear in the Bush administration, seeing the realities (finally).

I'm sure it won't last forever, but the initial credebilty and "the bringing honesty and integrity back inot the White House -lie", damage to the Bush administration has been done (Fox excluded of course).

The seeds of distrust has been sown.


Let's nurture the seeds to grow into strong self-supporting evidence and truths.

1. It would make for good news.
If the media can throw Bush to the wolves for the sake of ratings they would do it.

And now I think they can. And will.

2. What will they go to next?
When is the 9-11 report coming out?

Is this a cover for that or just the begining. Isn't there "explosive" information in the report supposedly?

Will the media go to the aluminum tubes? Wasn't Cheney still using that long after it had been debunked?

4. The reality is that they really are not doing their jobs
Sure, this is fun to watch, especially as they turn on each other and start eating their young, but the fact remains that they simply waited until the groundswell, from here and others on the left, simply became to great to ignore. They should have been out there long ago.

6. True, they are not doing their jobs
Yet, they are opportunistic and will run with it for as long as they can.

We just have to keep, reality from collapsing on-itself, untill the 9/11 reports show that GW and his cabinet were for-warned by the CIA and others that an al-quadia attack using hijacked planes was immenant, and they did nothing.

7. "Now there's one bad pilot"
Imbecile's quote from the elementary school describing how he saw the 1st plane fly into tower one.

Fact is, it wasn't televised. HE LIED !

If he were briefed by the CIA about hijackers crashing planes into skyscrapers, (which he was) and wasn't planning on "letting it happen" he would have bolted his arse out of there immediately and KNOWN we were under attack, NOT sat there for another 20 minutes.

He HAD to know what was happening. TREASON !!!!
