The main stream media is no longer to be trusted...at all. As witnessed by the "off the record" parties they have been having with the BFEE. TIME Magazine holding onto the Plame information until after the election. Network news might as well pack it in. Listening to network news (and now cable news) has the same effect on my life as my listening to the farm report. What the hell do I care that Madonna fell off a horse? The girl in Aruba is dead. Get on with it. And who the frig cares about the runaway bride? Mahr said that the president talks to us like we are little kids. I would like to add that the media talks to us like we are brain dead. I just read this quote on
The White Rose SocietyI feel it quite apropos:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776
