Why the hell doesn't anybody on the m$m ever mention...

[wildbilln864]

the fact that Bush's appointees and advisors were members of PNAC and wrote about wanting and needing war? I watched Rachel Maddow just now talking abut Bush and the Iraq war and whether he'd invade if he knew there were no WMDs. Does anybody in the M$M know about PNAC and "Rebuilding America's Defenses" page 63 here? :banghead:

1. I'm too lazy to research this, but are any media moguls on PNAC

or very PNAC friendly?

2. Bill Kistol is the editor of the Weekly Standard.

That's all I got off the top of my head. I'm only slightly less lazy than you.

6. Because the corporate media believe first, last and in the middle in corporate power.

Their clients are corporations, as corporations and the political "leaders" who love them believed war was good for business,the corporate media felt obligated to mindlessly cheer lead them on.

To expose these people you speak of now and their conflicts of interest would make the corporate media's failure to have covered that base in the past seem all the more apparent to the American People. The corporate media is too afraid of losing anymore credibility with the American People, so critical information is swept under the rug. This also wouldn't score the corporate media any points with their corporate commercial buying clients.

What these killers of the goose that laid the golden eggs don't understand is, the American People's loss of confidence in too many institutions has only served to undermine the general economy with an underlying crisis of faith. On the other hand maybe their mega rich owners did know and figured it was time for a winnowing out to further separate those same type blue-bloods; that hated FDR so much believing him to be a class traitor, from the unwashed masses.

In 2000, the Supreme Court took a major hit by denigrating the importance of determining the American People's intent in choosing a government supposedly made up "we the people" and legalizing a coup and the corporate media yawned.

In 2001 and ever since the Cheney/Bush Administration have betrayed one American Institution after another, whether it was outing one of our covert CIA agents and by extension her company whose job it was to monitor nuclear weapons, politicizing the Dept of Justice and firing district attorneys for not waging political witch hunts, betraying the so called fourth estate it self by holding scripted press conferences with their own plants, by corrupting and altering their own science that disagreed with the causes of global warming climate change, by telling a wimpy ass Congress to go stuff it self regarding any oversight of the Administration, the Congress of milquetoasts then took it's turn by rolling over. One corrupted corporation going under after another Enron, et al, Cheney's ties to war profiteer Halliburton and the corporate media didn't do jack shit to connect the dots for the people.

I don't expect them to do anything now except in doing their best to continually undermine Obama's Administration in the hopes of enabling another corporate incestuous lover to the White House in 2012.

7. Because the Networks are Owned by Warmongers and Defense Contractors

[razors edge]

8. At this point it would be tactic confession

of their own complicity in war crimes.

The press is accountable for such in a civilized world court.

9. georgee was hellbent on having his OWN war.

saddam had a target on him since 1999. i do not believe cheeney made him do it.

[wildbilln864]

13. No! Cheney did not make him. They both were equally willing.

No one said he made him. :banghead:

11. We didn't go into Iraq because we thought there were WMD's...

We went into Iraq because WE KNEW THERE WERE NO WMD'S!!!!!

[wildbilln864]

14. We went into Iraq because Bush and PNAC wanted to.

And yes. I do believe they knew there were no WMD. That's one of the reasons for the Plame outing.

[JohnnyBoots]

12. They all know. I've heard PNAC mentioned once or twice and the subject was quickly changed in both

instances. They are all complicit.
