I am so proud of the mainstreeme media.....
they are actually doing some hard hitting investigating into the truth regarding the Bush AWOL documents.....seriously, this is the first time since Monica that the media is getting off their asses and getting to the truth...at least I hope so.

BUT MY QUESTION IS....why cant they do the very same thing with regards:

1. Bush's lies about the WMD in Iraq.

2. Bush's lies regarding Iraq having a nuclear weapon

3. Bush outing a CIA agent as well as a double agent from al Qaeda

4. Bush lying to NYers about the air quality in Manhatten immediatelyt after 911.

5. Bush's lies about the econmic forecasts.

6. Bush's lies in the government's annual enviromental reports knocked by many nobel prize winners;

7. Bush transfering billions of dollars from the war in Aghanistan to Iraq without congressional approval as required by an unforged document called the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

8. Abusing his powers with regards to the Patriot Act

9. Bush's lies that there was some kind of connection between Sadaam and 911 and al Qaeda.

10. Bush fighting a sensitive war on terror when they had OBL cornered in Aghanistan and they let him go.

11. The whole medicare bill fraud.

12. Lying about the affects of his silly tax cuts.

I COULD GO ON AND ON AND PROBABLY LEFT SOME IMPORTANT SCANDALS OUT OF THIS....i JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME TO LIST THEM ALL.....

But tell me mainstreem media, where have you been for all of the above scandals....you give it 15 minutes and then it is back to how pretty Bush looks in a flight suit and how Kerry flip flops....you are so agressive now with the alleged forged documemts that is so meaninglyess in everyones everyday life....but when it comes to life and death issues like I listed above you give it a pass.....what are you waiting for? Another Clinton sex scandal? Well, you may never get another one of that.....so please....for the sake of our constitution and democracy please get to the truth.....THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE!

3. Baby steps, remember, the press has all been threatened to lose
their jobs if they talk the truth about Bush. They are under direct orders to NOT mention certain truths about Bush. It is OUR responsibility to hold Bush ACCOUNTABLE for lying! I'm sorry, but this is much more derelict than lying about consensual SEX, this is about deliberately misrepresenting a background that supported why Bush has credibility to be commander in chief. This will make National Guardsmen who are fighting right now pissed off their own boss lied about his duties to get out of going to war. It's HUGE! This is fooling the public into believing Bush is something he is not. Americans get really pissed off when they are lied too, Nixon didn't get away with it, neither will Bush.

4. If Nixon was Prez....
now with the media in the back pockets of Repubs he would never have had to resign....there would have NO investigation of watergate....that is for sure.....the media has changed since Nixon and so you cannot compare Nixon to Bush....Bush has got the media in his back pocket and he and Rove know that....the sky is the limit for Bush....free to do whatever he wants because no one....not the congress or media will ever hold him to account for his actions.

5. Yep the only reason it's getting any coverage
Is cause they are working HARD to prove that nothing bad can possibly be true about our Emperor.

Too bad that there was never any question about Kerry's naval records, and it was all just personal smear and innuendo and that was a valid subject for weeks. They worked hard to make sure that was given coverage. Unfortunatey in reverse, it only looks like anyone that is against the Emperor are (horror of horror)liars!

Which is the meme du jour-and just saying they "might be" makes it enough. It's called installing reasonable doubt aka propaganda.

The truth doesn't matter. Not at all. Did you hear the one about how Iraq is responsible for 9/11? No, we said they are probably not connected.
But you didn't hear the truth, did you? Just the doubt.

6. What the media does....
is that when there is a negative Kerry story all they do is present both sides and never tell you what the truth is....but when it comes to Bush....the hell to what the dems think....we are going to get to the bopttom of this and get the truth....that is basically how it goes these days.
