Joy And Exultation Among Impaired
Well, the continued degradation of America by the Bush Administration continues unabated. No matter how low he goes in the polls, the guy is still controlling the nation -- and he has his trigger finger on THE button.
Often overlooked on a day-to-day basis is just how different our country might be if we had a mainstream media that truly reflected the principles of democracy, instead of the interests of corporatism.
So now (and you'll need to go to buzzflash.com to read the stories on this) an anchor person for FOX GOP News is becoming the White House Press Secretary. Yes, Tony Snow, the go-to guy for Cheney when he wants to repeat lies without being challenged is going to officially merge the FOX propaganda network for the Republican Party with the Republican Party!
Remember that FOX News is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who hired GOP television and advertising consultant guru, Roger Ailes, to run FOX News. Yes, FOX News has advertising, but it is -- in and of itself -- one big advertisement for the Republican Party, and currently for Bushevism. It uses the same principles of propaganda disguised as news that Pravda used under the Soviet regime.
And now, FOX News and the GOP are publicly becoming one seamless entity as Tony Snow replaces the infamous masters of saying nothing: Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.
So the winter hasn't ended in America. We're about to get the biggest press corps Dnow job one can imagine.
Only this Snow is as fake and phony as the flakes on a Hollywood Christmas set.
