(4,847 posts)Our money was spent on clinton's penis, but how about poppy? A scandal is meant to distract the public or allow the opposition to get what they want, even if it's against the will of the people. Our complicit media picks and chooses which scandal will be exposed and repeated over and over again. Some in the media also love repeating lies to the public, like gore invented the internet or allowing the swift boat liars public air time without a strong opposition to the lies.
If the media would have done its' job before little boots was selected, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Their faux journalists allowed alleged insider trading, drug usage, military records, driving records and his record as governor to slide. They aided the tough "cowboy" image.
Those scandals that cause harm to the american people, are exposed by brave journalists that put their lives at risk. For instance, exposing drug money laundering, insider trading, putting drugs on our streets, bribery, stealing software from a family business (that had to file bankruptcy) and banking, WS corruption. These offenses HARM the american people more than someone's sexcapades (excluding rape and pedo).
And now the media, over and over again, is airing the columbian prostitute shite and the vegas GSA-and just saw a repug ad blaming obama for the GSA thing. Already they've taken these so called scandals the media has put center stage. and made them into a repug campaign ad. I wonder how many in the government workings are still little boot's holdovers? Because, I remember the great purge by little boots, attempting to get rid of nonloyalty oath civil servants.
