God Damn The Pusher-Man!
Doug Herman over at Axis Of Logic just whacks one outta the ballpark ...Perhaps the greatest proof of media censorship is the fact so little powerful dissent or opposing opinion is ever allowed to surface. “Noam Chomsky, who is a brilliant man,” wrote pamphleteer George Humphrey, “produced a movie titled Manufacturing Consent, and in this movie he shows that of the approximately 33,000 newspapers and magazines in our country, over 95% are controlled by eight multinational corporations.” Which explains why you and I will never appear in print in the mainstream media. When I sent my essay, Detective Columbo Asks: Was 911 an Inside Job? to every New York-based publication, I never expected or received a single response. Nor have I ever read of a similar column that broached the subject of 9-11 critically that has ever appeared in the CIA-owned, mainstream media. Denial is a New York state of mind and healthy skepticism went out of fashion when Thoreau died.
Thus, when the Rush Limbaughs and Ann Coulters of the owned media decry the “liberal media bias,” this too is part of the agenda of disinformation. If you pan a non-existent opposition long enough and make it appear that opposition actually exists, an uninformed citizenry soon begins to believe the claim. Recently Cal Thomas wrote of Bush policy critics: “Count on the big media in America and Europe to look for dark linings within the silver cloud.” Where exactly has this big media been, the bobble-headed dolls of Bush policy, if not on the sidelines for the last two years, practicing patriotic cheers for those chimeras mistaken for silvery clouds?
...
Which brings us to the new breed of pod people passing for independent journalists. Not simply the Maggie Gallaghers of journalism but the true whores of the media. If for nothing else, the Jeff Gannon-Jim Guckert sex scandal should indicate the depth of media prostitution. The only difference between Gannon and those who write for the mainstream media is that Gannon usually got undressed before he sold himself.
Gosh, Doug, that's a little below the belt, eh?!?
Then again, it's probably how Jeff Gannon likes 'em ...

I, for one, would like to know why Bush's "town hall meetings" are broadcast as news rather than the staged political rallies that they truly are? How can he be the leader of the country if he shuts himself completely off from half of us? I guess you don't need to worry if you can fool at least half of the people all of the time.

Nice to see ya here, Disco!
For a president that campaigned on being a uniter instead of a divider, boy, he sure is doing a ripping job, eh? Protests of such magnatude overseas are just going to have the effect of putting a much larger bullseye on our asses for more terrorist attacks. We're in more danger now than ever before 9/11.
