WTF Is It Now?!?

Hey, Whore Media! slap! Pay Attention!

Cambodia's Prince Norodom Ranariddh has been awarded less than one US cent, after he successfully sued a local newspaper that alleged he was corrupt, stupid and a "chicken ass".

Judge Sao March awarded the Prince, who is also chairman of the national assembly and head of the royalist party, 100 riel (0.025 US cents) saying the damages were largely symbolic for the damage inflicted to his prestige. LOLOL - Chimpy the Pinhead 's wouldn't even be worth that much.

The editor, Dam Sith, said he disagreed with the court's verdict and would consider an appeal. Ha ha ha ha ha - oh man, if somebody would actually have the balls to tell the truth about Smirky the Bonged-out Dipso ...



"The institution of the press has abandoned its journalistic mission and conspired with the government to spread misinformation. - Huey, in 'The Boondocks'.



"A reporter might even get thrown out of a press conference or fired for asking 'inappropriate' questions"

The question on the mind of every responsible journalist as of late (indeed, on the mind of every responsible individual, period) is: Has the media officially become the public relations arm of the United States government? And: Have we lost freedom of the press?

Why does our daily news come from some Pentagon briefing room or from some White House spokesperson - fully spun, packaged and pre-interpreted? And more importantly, why does no one care, either professional journalists or average citizens, or worse yet, even notice?

In addition to the fact that this "government" operates in what might as well be complete secrecy, they've now publicly admitted that they're willing to lie to the world to achieve their primary goal of keeping the war machine rolling. - (snipped from Matthew Riemer's excellent article - read the whole thing at the link above)
