This is a very revealing statement and something the independent press and "Liberals" have been trying to tell people. This whole administration is a lie and have sold out the country. We, the people are the country, not the govenrment but we the people, Remeber?
The Right Wing is control of the media. The likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter and O'Reilly are lying and are nothing but the mouthpieces of a corrupt government and corporate greed. They dictate policies and lies that are not in the interests of the people.
They are continually exposed and the numbers or people are growing that are beginning to see it, but some people still have a hard time believing it.
POGO You are so right it hurts.
So right it is painful to admit that as a nation we were duped into supporting a criminal war.
I differ only on the "prostituted" themselves. It is the media that exposed the lies. They went to the source. They asked Jessica Lynch. They reported what she said. The media did their job. And they did it as well as it can be done when people like Dan Rather are forced into retirement for accepting as truth a forgery.
The media does not connect the dots, that is up to you and me to do. You and I, and NashBama and USA1 and pba and everyone else needs to SEE that the media is being manipulated by the Neo Conservatives. It is being manipulated with payments to O'Reilly and Limbaugh ONLY so long as they tow the line.
It is being manipulated by making examples of people like Dan Rather, and Air America by STARVING THEM. If a reporter asks tough questions she gets sent to the back of the room. Helen Thomas.
If a reporter is to even handed and thoughtful he gets handed a forgery, and then the forgery is exposed to discredit him.
Dan Rather.
If an organization is to truthful they get smeared with the label "Liberal Media."

Washington Post
If the publication is really liberal, they just don't get advertisers.
