The rest of the world KNOWS our press isn't free it's RUN BY REPUKES

If the press was so free in the U.S., Putin asked, then why had those reporters at CBS lost their jobs? Bush was openmouthed. "Putin thought we'd fired Dan Rather," says a senior Administration official. "It was like something out of 1984."


The administration official got it right. It IS like something out of 198 fucking 4

2. This is a good one.
A new spin on the "conspiracy theory" defense.

It's not that the right-wing media manufactured the scandal that got people fired, it's that Putin has "ill-informed aides" who tell him urban myth.

Like somehow Vladimir Putin, former head of the KGB, doesn't understand exactly what goes on, or can't see through bogus reports. Like he's fucking naive.

Putin owns Bush's ass. Bush would do best to take his fake democracy talk and run back home to daddy.

3. Sure they know the story was fed to the reporters in hopes they would bite
Then the line was yanked, they reeled them in and threw them in the chum barrel. World knows the press is bought and paid for...Media whores!

5. Like the White House and Rove had nothing to do with that!!

"Putin thought we'd fired Dan Rather," says a senior Administration official. "It was like something out of 1984."

11. Their whole existence is based upon "manipulation" of reality.
Either that or,...they are so disjointed, disconnected, delusional that they live in a box that precludes the vast majority of human beings.

I used to believe they were that disconnected,...until I discovered intentional cover-up linguistics and intentional perception management and intentional deception.

They know. They don't care. They are servants unto themselves. They are evil.

13. The Bush Junta is seething and fuming because...
Putin is doing nuke biz with Iran and weapons biz with Syria. This has zero to do with Democracy.
