Conservatives Playing The Media Again!!!!!

This morning set me off big time and reminds me that despite the victory in November, the mainstream media is still influenced by the neo-cons in this country.

First, the focus and attention that is being placed on Nancy Pelosi's knowledge of waterboarding and torture. Let's be serious here. You have to be a strong partisan to believe that Nancy Pelosi would have any influence over the Bush Administration. What would the mainstream media have done if Pelosi came out in 2002, 2004, 2006 or 2007 and said that the Bush Administration should not torture??? She would have been called a terrorist sympathizer and weak. Am I stunned that she said that the CIA lied to her?? This coming from an Administration that lied us into war and in fact cheated to get the White House in the first place in 2000.

The point that is being conveniently missed by the media is that who gave the order to torture??? And what were they trying to find out??? The answer is that the Bush Administration, going as high up to Bush and Cheney, authorized torture in order to get justification for starting a war with Iraq by connecting Saddam to 9/11. We know that there was no connection. WHY ISN'T THE MEDIA FOCUSING ON THIS!!!!! Instead they are focusing on Pelosi.

Second Item: This morning an Associated Press article about President Obama's address at Notre Dame. With the article is a picture where they identify a student who had a symbol on her cap which symbolizes the pro-life movement. But who is not identified nor even mentioned is that in the same picture, 4 or 5 students over from the one identified, was a student who had the Obama campaign symbol on their cap. The media played up the opposition to Obama's visit but did not at all talk about or focus on supporers of the President. Typical capitulation of the mainstream media.

Long live MSNBC... Long Live Ed Schultz....Long Live Bill Press....Long Live Randi Rhodes...Long Live Stephanie Miller..... Us lefties must be vigliant!!!!!!
