Just stating the obvious - amazing that the media has given Bush a pass for 8 yrs of disaster, yet

[NRaleighLiberal]

they are ready to blame Obama for all of our ills, though he has yet to assume the office. What made me think of this is seeing on the CNN web site the Caffery question about Obama's already falling approval ratings.

You just can't make this stuff up!

1. It boggles the mind. The last 8 years has been a media love fest for Shrub.

If they had scrutinized him a bit we might not be in this giant, fucking mess.

2. The corporate kleptocrats have to stick together.

Otherwise, the citizenry will be free & well-informed. Can't have that!

3. can't let the media be subject to regulation

just their way of letting Obama know that the media is in charge, and not to get in the way of their profits

4. It's the

Military-Industrial-Congressional-Media Complex we're dealing with.

The unholy quartet wherein the media functions as propaganda organs of the MICC.

We're very far gone down the black hole of fascism in the US.

One major problem is that you can't change what you don't acknowledge.
