MEDIA BITCHES workin' hard for pimp daddy WAL-MART this weekend

Wal-Mart is masterfully using the same media game plan as BushCo. this Thanksgiving weekend to drive the poor, ignorant masses into their stores. The basic message being repeated over and over on almost every news outlet is that people are "fighting" to get the "incredible" deals at Wal-Mart. The specific story doesn't matter, it just needs to contain the common element of people committing violence to get GREAT deals. . It can be an old women trampled at a Florida Wal-Mart for a $50. DVD player or fist fights breaking out in Maryland over $400. plasma TV or a group of orphans in a toy aisle mowed down with shopping carts by crazed parents in Kentucky. It is an awesome thing to witness the almost total participation by all forms of media in reporting on the real or created incidents of violence spawned by supposedly low prices. It seems that the art of psyops isn't just for selling wars anymore.
