Democratic Factivism

By Randi Rhodes on June 1, 2007 - 7:33am

There is more than a conservative grip on the media. Conservatives have their hands tightly around media's neck and are trying to choke the life out it. Freedom of the press is gasping for air and you're a witness to the crime.

I've spent 15 years in talk radio and I promise you I’ve never seen an assault on the media like I see today. The news has been cancelled and replaced with the conservative daily dose of fear. And do you know why? Because the dirty little secret is Conservatives fear you. Not just you Democrats either. Our government fears all of you American people. That's why they lie and spy. They know that if we were unified around the facts as we find them we would change this entire government without a single shot ever fired simply by educating ourselves. So if they know it, shouldn't you?

Remember how public opinion changed after Katrina? If you believe in God, that was surely a message to wake up and demand better from Caesar. And if you don't believe in God that was surely a signal from this warming planet to wake up and demand better from Caesar.

Republicans can't afford another wake up call to get through to you. And truth tellers are more than a wake up call. Truth tellers, fact finders are a Category 5 Hurricane of information raising the roof on a corrupt government currently engaged in the single biggest heist in the history of the world.

So they do what they know works. They deep drill THE FEAR.

3. Kicked and recommended, dang it!

Randi, when you can get past all the pissing and moaning that people do when they feel offended by what she says or how she says it, or her aggressiveness, or her appearance, or her presentation-or all the other bullshit that bubbles up when people don't hear what they think they want to hear, is one of the damnedest, smartest, most enlightened people anyone could ever want to listen to.

Love her or not, and she doesn't particularly want you to, she is brilliant!
