22. Who gives them more money, Koch and Rove groups, or your average American citizen?
Tue Oct 16, 2012, 02:17 PM
Oct 2012

Do you think the media is serving the public interest?

You need only look back before the Iraq war and the lies they were propping up to support that mass murder.

They pushed the idea that Iraq was seeking yellowcake, long after it had be debunked, just as Bush kept using the claim.

The Bush Administration still had Colin Powell present their 'evidence' to the UN who laughed at US!

They used google and discovered it was a forgery in 5 minutes.

The criminals who created the forgery did not even use the right names or letterhead.

Why did these criminals assume the media would not catch them on such an overt forgery?

Because the criminals control the media. None of this is possible without them working together.

And they count on the American public being really fucking stupid and actually believing that they are not allowed to overtly lie on the TV.
