"Stalin could ask no more of Pravda"
Traitors, deranged, pessimists, Bush-haters...
We must not give up on the media - we must not assume that the media's shameless promotion of George Bush is immutable -- for if the corporate media continues its present course and repeats its performance of 2000, Bush has a lock on the election.
And now the latest meme: Democrats are "deranged." The theme was introduced, almost simultaneously, by Charles Krauthammer, Tucker Carlson, William Safire and David Brooks, and now resounds in cable (so-called) "news" channels and AM radio. (See Maureen Farrell: "America Unhinged" ). Were one of a paranoid bent (i.e. "deranged") one even might suspect some sort of coordination in this attack, say by the RNC and the White House Rovians.
Meanwhile, regarding The Shrubster, the media has uttered scarcely a peep about Harkin Oil, AWOL, the deficits and national debt, the coming demise of government services, the Medicare scam, the sellout of the environment, the 9/11 coverup, the missing WMDs, and the absent Saddam-Bin Laden connection, etc.

So what's the point?!?!?!
The media must be constantly and publicly reminded of its shameless bias in the 2000 presidential election. On the one hand the media failed to report Bush's personal misbehavior, his manifest incompetence, and his maladministration as Texas Governor. On the other hand the media concocted slanders against Al Gore, including the infamous smears that Gore had claimed to have "invented the internet" and to have "discovered" Love Canal. A significant and influential segment of the public must put the media on notice that such behavior will not be tolerated again. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice ... not gonna fool me again."
We're doomed.....doomed!
