So here is where we are. It is broad daylight - the neighborhood is getting looted

[NRaleighLiberal]

by a gang of criminals of the worst kind. The media are visiting the families, who are hiding in their bedrooms, in the houses of this neighborhood, and the media see this all happening....except that they are unlocking the doors and helping the looters take the plunder. And the media actually then reports that it is the fault of the homeowners....and in fact, most of the homeowners believe them and feel that it is what they deserve.

Do I have that right?

1. That analogy pretty much covers it.

Now that you put it that way, I'm pissed! Fuck the media!

2. Yes. There will be less looting if we allow the looters to have all the protected

property in the safety deposit boxes.

At least that's what they want us to believe.

'cus you lost me right off the bat.

4. just looking through headlines for the past few years - crimes get committed

in broad daylight abetted by the media. Such as Plame...such as the Cone of Silence...such as WMD...and on and on.

6. And then when they get tripped up or caught

they are granted immunity and or pardons. Or in worst case scenarios, they fake their death and go live in Dubai with all their stolen millions/billions.
