Used some DUers points - hope that is okay.


"Rather misled about National Guard memos -- Rather must resign. Rather has apologized, CBS has apologized, ordered independent review, but still Rather must resign. That is what republicans say. Media on this 24/7.

Bush claims misled about Iraq intelligence. Bush does not apologize, does not take responsibility, fights independent review - forced to go along with independent review. Bush solid leader. That is what republicans say. Media asleep at the wheel.

Novak outs CIA informant. Novak given name by person(s) in Bush adminstration. Novak remains on CNN, Chicago Tribune, refuses to apologize, defiant, will not disclose source. Novak okay. That is what republicans say. Bush does not demand outer be identified, no demands for resignation, no firing. Media asleep at the wheel.

Iraqi prisoners abused, 9/11 intelligence faulty, military misjudgments at Tora Bora, in Fallujah, Najif -- no apologies, no one responsible. No plan for peace in Iraq. National Intelligence Estimate tells us civil war probably, continuing instability definite best case. Media asleep, although jacked up over being embedded -- so cool to be embedded.

Kerry lays out devastating case against Bush mismanagement going into Iraq, fighting in Iraq, working for peace in Iraq. Kerry lays out plan for action today. Media covers National Guard memo story, ponders Rather's fate 24/7. No apologies, not accountability, no one must go.

We are one messed up country."

1. Excellent!

What I like about it -- sorry for the left-handed compliment -- is that the writing style is not too slick and well-written. It's got the "common man" feel, not as if it was written by a think tank, strategist or "operative."

In fact, it should go to far more places than Olberman, even if you don't expect anyone else to use it. Hammer it (or is that "Hemmer" it?). Get the facts out. What the fuck is our "media" doing, besides sleeping at the wheel?

Great post. Thanks.

VOTE HERE for HOPE, NOT FEAR
