1. excellent!

[tekisui]

2. knr!~

Using a fucking teleprompter is no where near a lying propagandist war criminals abuses.

Fucking stupid fucks in the M$M. Get a life.

[underpants]

5. I'm sure I missed something

I left out the earpiece thing at the Kerry debate because it hasn't been (and never will be) proved to have happened. Yeah it sure looked like it but it isn't a KNOWN fake incident

[nichomachus]

14. Earpiece?

Not seen in any other photos of him

And, then, of course, this . . .

[Gregorian]

19. This is what it was all about. This was CHEATING.

This was no press conference. There should have been instant disqualification over this.

31. Heck of a job, Brownie.

8. Fabulous job ! K&R

9. fucking a right man!!!

10. The 4th Estate have degenerated into Fifth Column.

[nichomachus]

15. Is that original?

I like that -- a lot

[Bluenorthwest]

11. Every picture tells a story...

and you even remembered the turkey that was not a turkey!

[underpants]

17. I left this one out because it was a Bush ad and not "news"

[mopinko]

12. i think we just need to stick the label- "the ronald reagan memorial"

to the word teleprompter. they want to put that label on everything else, don't they?

[goclark]

35. God bless Reagan ~ remember when Nancy would give him the

words to say -- I don't recall any talk about that but I wondered why she was always whispering in his ear.

Now we know he was suffering all that time and who was running the government --

Please send this thread to Keith because it is so meaningful to this stuff they are talking about -- President Obama never hides the fact that he uses a teleprompter to my knowledge --- right?

In fact,in the first days in office, he would almost have to bend down to read his notes. I think they fixed this so it would be easier for him and it makes it easier to watch.

As my Mom says, this argument indicates they we have been
"Buuuushed" again by the MSM.

[cliffordu]

13. Keeked.

[Gregorian]

16. They'll never get it. (Nothing says family values like a million dead Iraqis.)

If after eight years and ALL of the actions, both criminal and marginally legal and all morally corrupt, that have been done, they don't see, then they most likely will never see.

I don't mean that we should give up. But I'm afraid we're going about this all wrong.

I saw a post on Youtube the other day- "Lawrence Welk would have never voted for Obama because he had family values." Posted by Palin2012.

Nothing says family values like a million dead Iraqis.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

18. Looking at all of that...his presidency was so ridiculous...

[underpants]

21. Let's not forget this unique ability

20. THIS giggling psychopath?

This one comes with a story:
http://fitnessfortheoccasion.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/phonetic-guide-for-bush/

[Uzybone]

22. It's as if the last 8 years never happened according to the media

All the violations and fuck up are all but forgotten as they try and play the gotcha game with President Obama. Its a perverse twist of Big Brother.

[WinkyDink]

25. Of course! They didn't question Bush; ergo, Bush's Presidency never happened.

[rambler_american]

33. Bush's Presidency never happened

ergo the shit going down now is clearly Clinton's fault.

[Reeta77]

23. 'Nuff Said.

:patriot:

[progressivebydesign]

24. No shit! And let's include the fake news reports they paid for, as well!! n/t

[redqueen]

27. Let's see... there was Mike McManus, Maggie Gallagher, Armstrong Williams...

who else?

[redqueen]

39. Ah geez...

I thought there'd be more names of bought-and-paid-for "reporters" here.

Not a reminder of that guy's incessant clowning.

[SalviaBlue]

26. K&R

Thanks for putting this is perspective. Good job!!

[ejpoeta]

28. about puts it all into perspective, doesn't it. thanks for this. didn't know about the first one

with the made n china tags. figures. there is nothing wrong with reading from a teleprompter. guess the media has nothing else to report on??? last i checked we still had soldiers in harms way in two wars. a crumbling infrastructure. war criminals living right here free as birds in this very country. not that there is anything important to report on or anything.

[Cha]

29. Now we just have to stick this

brilliant wrapup in the corporatemediawhoredom's collective face.

34. You said it all. K&R. Nice job.nt

[DUlover2909]

36. Bush's screw-ups are too numerous to remember.

[Overseas]

37. Kick! All hail the champions of Manufactured News !

Where was the outrage during the Bush Gang's implementation of pre-packaged news feedings?

In the blogosphere but not on the networks who were using the prefabricated news feeds.

They'd say-- the story was covered in the news-- some papers discussed the situation so the story was out there-- but the networks continued to use the fake news spots.

And they are still shameless by giving so much time to the right wing jerks whose darling Bush Gang crashed our economy and authorized war crimes.

They let these Republicans lecture about fiscal responsibility when they presided over the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars in history.

They let these Republicans lecture about controlling the size of government when they presided over the largest expansion of government in history.

The general public seems to have caught on about how false those myths are-- that Republicans are more responsible with fiscal and national security policies-- but our mass media conglomerates in right wing hands are still pushing the old myths really hard. Giving far too much time to destructive Republicans and their teams of revisionist historians.

Just as we hope to re-regulate the financial sector back to not allowing any corporation to become "too big to fail," we need to re-regulate the media sector because there is too much consolidation into conservative hands. We do not have a "free press" on the broadcast networks. We have a "paid press" -- 70% conservative, with 30% for other voices to provide an appearance of "balance" and keep the pressure off the corporations.
