Media, I Can Has One?

David Swanson, Ann Wright and Cindy Sheehan

David Swanson over at AfterdowningStreet.org, has some words and observations about the state of the Homeland’s media.  He even dares to back up his claims with actual examples of media fail.  How dare he?

David has done an excellent job covering the Bush wars on truth and he continues to cover the current administrations ongoing use of the Bush doctrine.  David even called Rep. John Conyers a lying asshole.

Okay, I may have embellished a tad on the Conyers thing.

Not unlike David, I too have asked the question, “what the fuck is wrong with you media drones?”  And still, still! I get zero invitations to the Radio & TV Correspondents’ Dinner.  For proof of my having questioned the media, allow me to over self link to myself…which as any Teabagger worth it’s salt will tell you, over self linking causes blindness and may condemn your soul to eternal damnation.

Kind of like watching  Ann Coulter’s Adam’s Apple move while she barks out her dogma.

So what I believe David, myself and others, are attempting to get at, is, blame the war crimes, torture, the drug wars, the health scare, the Miley Cyrus and Wall Street, on your corrupt government and its complicit media.  Then blame yourself, for having watched it all play out in front of you on the View! and other such Homelandian news pushing outlets.

“Are there any lessons to be learned Mr Lens?”  Yes, yes indeed there are.  These lessons are, in order of importance…

• The old media has failed, the new/independent media must respond.
• Sarah Palin has a degree in journalism.
• New media must find some death free funding.
• I drink way too much coffee

For a peek at what a journalist might do to help, go here.  For a good story on fake journalists and the Bush legacy of stupidity…go here.

For some stupid picture of cats doing stuff, go here.  After you’re ready to shoot yourself, but just before you decide to move to Texas, keep an eye on independent media outlets like AfterdowningStreet.org and MediaMatters.org.

I’ll stay Vigilant as well…
