These bastards

Could show up at a bank with guns, rob it of all its cash and negotiable securities, and then claim when apprehended that they were simply applying theough an alternative loan program, and that the police should be investigated for insinuating that they were guilty of anything. It’s just beyond comprehension that this can play so well here in the USA, home of the white hat/black hat emblems.

Helps when the liars can “prove” their Big Lies.

“If it’s on TV, it’s got to be real.”

So, the bank robbers are framed as innocent victims. Again. And again. And again.

Rupert had just bought the Chicago Sun-Times In 1984. Royko knew what monstrosities Murdoch visited upon the papers in almost all of Australia and later the U.K. and quit his job as a columnist. Royko made plain the newly citizen Murdoch’s threat to American democracy — truth and trust.


“No self-respecting fish would want to be wrapped in one of Murdoch’s publications,” Royko said. “He puts out trash.”
