UUuuugggghhh. Below is a small portion of the Petraeus interview on Fox "News." But first, a little "cleaner" description of the fellatfest from Glenn Greenwald :
The whole production was such transparent propaganda that one doubts that Pravda would have been shameless enough to present it. Even the title of the program was creepy. Fox did not even bother to call it an "interview," but rather hailed it as a "Briefing for America."And now, our feature presentation, ribbed and shortened for HER pleasure.
Both Petraeus and Hume repeatedly referred to the Enemy in Iraq as "Al Qaeda." The NYT/CBS poll yesterday revealed that 40% of Republicans in this country -- 40% -- still believe that Saddam personally planned the 9/11 attacks. With wretched, unchallenged propaganda like this being fed to them, is it any wonder why?...
Last night's perfectly scripted Fox pageant demonstrates that they don't even bother to pretend otherwise anymore. That hour-long "interview" last night with Petraeus and Crocker would fit quite comfortably on North Korean state television. It also now fits quite comfortably within the American media landscape.

Question for Brit: Do you spit, or swallow? And do you have any trouble shitting your pants due to a lack of sphincter control?

As I've seen elsewhere, the difference between Pravda readers and American TV "news" watchers is that virtually all the Pravda readers KNEW that most of what they were reading was grossly exaggerated, distorted, or outright lies and they automatically discounted most of it. Most of the American sheeple don't feel this way -- if it's on the TV 'serious shows' it's 'real'...
blatant propanganda and I don't like watching but..."know thy enemy" and all
