When in Trouble, Attack the "Liberal Media"...
Sometimes the right-wing is so predictable. I wake up in the morning and Brian Lamb has his question of the day, asking if the Berg beheading is equivalent to the prison abuse scandals? Then he has the young know-nothing of the "National Journal", Rich whatever-his-name, and they continue to discuss the terrible job the "elite" mdia is doing by only reporting the Berg story for one day but continuing to talk about the prison abuse story?

Then Jonah Goldberg is on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, oppsosite Peter Bienart of the New Republic, and they are talking about the same thing. Turn on local radio out of Denver and the host has opened with the same topic. Do you see a pattern here?

You can tell when they get on the "defensive", they always attack the "liberal media". Of course, any story that does not reflect positively on them is the fault of the liberal media. Of course, there's not a lot of ways that the Abu Graib story can be reported positively. But they would prefer to silence it.

1. What is even funnier is that they are attacking something which scarcely
exists, except in the fevered minds of the New Brownshirts.

Same as the Old Brownwshirts and their "zionist Conspiracy" Straw men.

This sort of thing has always been used to keep the Totalitarian Bootlickers in line.


For the Nazis, it was the "Jew Media", for the Busheviks, it's the "Liberal Media".

Same kind of people, same kind of slur, same kind of lie.

This is no coincidence!

2. Your head will explode if you try to make sense of them.
Are these the same brain dead pinheads that were bitching about how the media only reports about deaths of Americans and doesn't focus on the good news coming out of Iraq?

Now they are complaining that the media isn't reporting on the beheading of an American?

I would think they would want to suppress that, unless they consider it 'good news' which they probably do.

Maybe freepers just want to suppress reporting on the deaths of American soldiers.

3. It's "good" news for them if...
it supplants the prison abuse story, because they can then paint all Arabs as animals, deserving of whatever torture or abuse we can think of....

4. What the heck is 'kentuck' doing in Denver anyway:)
I don't know what station you were listening to, but if you're still listening you should change over to 1150AM. The lone liberal on Denver radio is about to go on. Enid Goldstein.

6. Probably not. Not a very powerful signal.
They are on the web though. KNRCRadio.com for a webcast.

7. Nice work.
I'm glad some of us can still stand to even listen
to those punks. I need to know what the other side
is saying, but they make my skin crawl.

I listen to AAR and that's about it.
