JOHN PILGER: Nothing has changed. For most people, primary data source is TV. We're getting either this singular message about wars and the economy or a contrived silence, a censorship by a omission. Israel media manipulation in US is high art form.

$250,000 per bank: Is this another instance of "Misdirection"? Should we not be focusing on MSM Syndrome where only 6 Corporations own all important media? Will Banks achieve same Trust Status as Main Stream Media? Labor Unions also, but not same!

The GOP and Fox News would have America believe the Conservative Talking Heads are there to counter the "Liberal Press". In fact, they are there to counter the TRUTH! TRUTH usually is LIBERAL! The GOP is repressive, oppressive and suppressive!

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular. - Adlai Stevenson & Barack Obama's campaign has apologized to two Muslim women who were barred from sitting behind Obama during his rally on Monday in Detroit. - Freedom?

"Once again, Neocon ideologues have been flogging questionable intelligence about WMDs, dubious MiddleEast exile groups are making rounds in DC, this time urging regime change in Syria & Iran. Once again, heroic exile leaders are promising freedom."

"Hillary can only win in metaphorical back room. If Rules Committee changes rules in last inning, she will really be hurt leaving Democratic Party in shambles. Fundamental structural issues of American democracy not being addressed, just horse race."

Meet AMBASSADOR EDWARD PECK, retired, white, career U.S. diplomat served 32-years in U.S. Foreign Service & was chief of the U.S. mission to Iraq under Jimmy Carter -- hardly the BLACK-RAGE IMAGE with which Wright has been stigmatized.

Bush doesn't "listen to my generals"; his generals listen to him and parrot the TALKING POINTS. Free Press pushes Congress to investigate Pentagon's propaganda program that recruited dozens of retired military officers to help sell the Iraq war.

The Mainstream Media, including Lou Dobbs, assassinates Liberal Democrats to throw elections to Republican Party. Green Party JUDAS GOAT candidate, Ralph Nader, siphoning off Democratic candidate support for same goal! - Network TV is about RATINGS!

Is GOP-controlled Congress LAZY? INCOMPETENT? Does Media have ?Liberal Bias? - NO! NO! & NO! What then? REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY! America: best way to VICTIMIZE is pretend to be Victim! YOU WON'T BELIEVE GOP EXCLUSIONARY TACTICS EXCLUDING DEMS!

FCC's Copps, "We shed crocodile tears for newspapers; their profits are double S&P 500 avg.. Today's outcome is same old same old: one more time, we're running the fast-break for our big media friends and the four-corner-stall for public interest".

"Martin would increase media consolidation by relaxing the rules for companies seeking to own both a newspaper and television or radio station in the same city. The vote is set for Tuesday." - See what GOP leadership does 4 YOU! Why GOPers R ignorant

"Why didn't NFL commish demand Patriots turn over electronic surveillance made over past year on all previous opponents?" If Tabacco can come up with that question, why can't ESPN! USA & INJUSTICE ARE SYNONYMOUS!

"New consensus assessment from ALL 16 U.S. intelligence agencies concluded Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program more than 4 years ago. The NIE starkly contradicts the Bush administration's claims Iran is actively pursuing a nuclear bomb."

When you abhor a person's position on specific issue, sophistry, ad hominem diatribes & guilt by association are poor substitutes for an intelligent counterargument. DN! pounded the table because they had no persuasive argument! Tabacco was ashamed!

It's like being at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, listening to the Bush Regime, the Generals & Mainstream Media (MSM) tell us that Muslims hate our freedom, our democracy and our way of life. We've heard the Lies so often, it's hard not to believe them.

On the 5pm News today they announced that José Padilla had been convicted of federal terror charges. That's it! Nothing said about torture, & only passing reference that Padilla was never even tried for an "al Qaeda Dirty Bomb Plot".

"Iraqis have reconciliation 28-point plan that included withdrawal of U.S. troops..absolutely essential for any of armed groups to go along with this plan. Under U.S. pressure, that was taken out of the plan, which makes it dead in the water." - 2006

The Nation magazine has published startling new expose of 50 American Iraq combat veterans, who give vivid accounts of US brutality rarely seen on TV. Indiscriminate killings & other atrocities by US military in Iraq.

Tabacco: Do you want Ralph Nader to run for 3rd Party in 2008, even if it means Giuliani win? Do you want Mike Bloomberg to run for 3rd Party in 2008, even if it means a Giuliani win? Do you want War in Iran? Going RIGHT not always best to go LEFT.

"Once again, Neocon ideologues have been flogging questionable intelligence about WMD, dubious MiddleEast exile groups are making rounds in DC, this time urging regime change in Syria & Iran. Once again, heroic exile leaders are promising freedom."

GATES: And I think that while they (Iran) are certainly pressing for nuclear capability as a deterrent. They are surrounded by powers with Nukes - Pakistan to their east, Russians to the north, Israelis to the west, and us in the Persian Gulf.

Is GOP-controlled Congress LAZY? INCOMPETENT? Does Media have ?Liberal Bias? - NO! NO! & NO! What then? REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY! America: best way to VICTIMIZE is pretend to be Victim! YOU WON?T BELIEVE GOP EXCLUSIONARY TACTICS EXCLUDING DEMS!

DOUBLE STANDARD: Inappropriate? Note how scrupulously MSM avoids using "P" word - PEDOPHILE - and "H" word - HOMOSEXUAL - when discussing White Republican Congressman. If it were a Black pop star, they would have no trouble uttering "P" word.

"Iraqis have reconciliation 28-point plan that included withdrawal of U.S. troops..absolutely essential for any of armed groups to go along with this plan. Under U.S. pressure, that was taken out of the plan, which makes it dead in the water."
