'The entire scandal narrative was an illusion'

[BlueCaliDem]

80. President Obama has been so squeaky clean that they have to manufacture

a crisis even when there isn't any. And with "they" I mean the corporate media that had usurped our true 4th Estate and supplanted it with pro-corporate/pro-Republican propaganda.

They were the same way with President Clinton. All we ever heard was the b.s. of Flowers! Vince Foster! Paula! Monica! Whitewater! For a non-observant consumer of American news {which I was back then}, President Clinton was a depraved monster and a "slick willie" who got away with murder! Good thing the economy did well under him or he'd have nothing.

But did we ever hear about Duhbya in those terms? Did we ever hear about his "youthful" indiscretions (at 40) as he sniffed up white lines or drank himself into a stupor, or that he cuckolded Texans into raising their taxes for his pet project, using eminent domain to buy private land on the cheap for the stadium that made him $250 million.

"When the Rangers franchise was sold for $250 million in 1998, at a total profit of $170 million, Bush personally received $14.9 million for his $600,000 investment.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_life_of_George_W._Bush[7].

There still isn't a single strip of evidence that Saddam had WMD. And when it turned out that Liberals have been correct all along, where was this "neutral" media of ours to report on it? Sure, we got some vindication - buried and forgotten in the pages of the largest newspapers where no one could find it, let alone know about it, but they did this to save their behinds so they could say, "See? We did print the truth when the evidence emerged that countered our earlier reporting! Want a subscription?"

There's a reason why more and more Americans don't trust newspapers or evening news. Although they can't put their finger directly on it, their gut is screaming, "Bullshit!" And their gut is correct.
