And Mydriasis, along those lines, that's a slippery slope. What stops an outright propaganda arm from simply slapping the name "news" on their network and then distorting the content of the conference into unadulterated propaganda that is meant to only add fuel to a fire? Furthermore, Fox organized the tea party movement...how can a News network organize a protest and still be considered news still? They crossed the line a long time ago from being news to being simple propaganda for the GOP. At some point, the network would need to be called out for not being news...and that's what is happening. And damnit, it's beautiful. |
the funny thing about this is that they realy did point out this huge mass rally even tho the networks that were "on the obama payroll vis a vis their exclusive interviews and special privledges with the white house" didnt even note that it happened.
i mean its pretty scary, the networks will self censor if they think it might make dear leader unhappy and then they might get screwed with no interviews etc...
obama taking another play out of the iraninan ayatollah playbook.
