WTF Is It Now?!?

"End Times" for American Journalism
[Tim] 'Robbins referred to the miserable status of American journalism when he cited the "Aussie rags" in the United States, a reference to Rupert Murdoch's growing and more menacing media empire. The Orlando Sentinel would never investigate Bush family malfeasance anywhere or anytime. Its editorial staff could be shown glossy 8 x 10 photos of George W. or Jeb in bed with a dead woman or a live boy and the paper, a longtime shill for the Republican Party, would simply pass on the story.....In fact, the Sentinel's readership, locked behind their splendid little gated communities or holed up in their sterile condominiums, would not stand for the paper rocking the boat by suggesting that Jeb Bush and his purported girlfriend, Katherine Harris, criminally conspired to throw Florida's 25 electoral votes into George W. Bush's column.

'Robbins understands that what is billed as news on the three major cable news outlets is nothing more than propaganda churned out by Washington policy-laundering think tanks, retired military brass fronting for defense contractors, and scurrilous Republican Party operatives.' - Wayne Madsen.
