How the hell did an ad show up on the poll?? Do I get royalties?!


More tales of the Whore Media covering up for neonazi rethugs

The most senior repuke in the House of Representatives has called for Palestinians to be expelled from the West Bank, which should be annexed in its entirety by the state of Israel. But the unfortunately-named Dick Armey's views have been scarcely reported in America. The only mention was a passing reference in the deepest recesses of yesterday's New York Times and Washington comPost.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations called Mr Armey's views "beyond belief". Spokesman Jason Erb said that "even the most extreme Israelis are reluctant to publicly advocate such an insane policy". When WH spokes-tool Ari Fleischer was asked for the Squinting Squatter's view on what appeared to be an argument for ethnic cleansing, he changed the subject. Of course he did - and of course the whores in the press just let it go.


Speaking of Whores...

"Question for media tycoons: How do you land a puff piece on the front page of the New York Times business section on Sunday? Answer: Attempt to secretly stage a political coup, and then try to censor any critical news coverage of the coup. That's how a cynic might see the Times' April 28 profile of Venezuelan billionaire Gustavo Cisneros. The story included lots of info about Cisneros's business holdings and political connections, but only a passing reference to the fact that he is suspected of having masterminded the failed coup against Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez.

"Some reporters are more skeptical of billionaires who go fishing with George Bush. Newsweek places Cisneros "at the vortex of the whole mess," noting that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is investigating contacts between U.S. officials and Venezuelans involved in the coup. Without heightened scrutiny of deals between the U.S. government and multinationals, big media will continue to erase little coups from the public record every day. The Times did not respond to a request for comment. "



I have to transplant some seedlings and have another gallon of coffee. I'll be back later.
