I remember the Clinton BJ fest....Everyone was talking about it 24/7. I mean that's all the media could play was Clinton's indescretion--I remember my boss asking me if I was watching the hearings, and I told him "NO"-it was like some kind of National Enquirer sensationalism--I told him, that I was more interested in what was happening behind the scenes while the Neocons were playing out their little "moral high road" act. Of course, we all know that some of those Congress critters had dirty laundry too. Then came the 2000 campaign and what did I see and hear from our talking head "experts?" Al Gore is stiff, he's a liar-he said he invented the internet (no he didn't), but tell that to some of the gullible populace. Well, I already knew some things about the Bush Family, so I waited to see what the media would say about Bush. Let's see, there was that insider trading deal, they let him pass with "My mother-in-law lost money in that." While the press were fawning and kissing his feet and allowing him to explain why he wasn't charged with insider trading. Then there was his DUI's and drug usage-yep, George didn't want to answer that question because it might influence the little kiddies. Did the media ask him why his DL record was purged and a new DL was issued? Now I remember when they asked Clinton about drug usage and he said he tried MJ once but didn't inhale; and the press had a field day with that one. How about the untruths George told about his educational programs, the insurance program that he was forced by Federal law to do--no, no it was all his idea. The media created George W. Bush, right down to the pig farm. He is a PR creation and the media is complicit in creating the creation. The media is corporate owned and their masters pull the strings--I mean, come on, GE is the fifth largest defense corp., do you honestly think their not making money off of this boondoggle of a war?
