WCCO-TV Veterans Take To TV To Build Iraq War Support

Seen these? They're full of lies and disgust me. They're paid for by "the patriotic freedomerica freedom fund" or some other just-as-slimy republican front men.

Can we, as a society, just agree to stop the whole "You'd never know it from watching the news" thing? It's the most meaningless argument I can think of. But it ain't going away when these assholes can lie about how the war's going and why it exists with the world trade center burning in the background. (They've erroneously claimed the high ground when they can get away with that. It's a great example of power being taken.)

When the facts are against you, I learned from my father, impugn the medium that brings it to you. Just fight like hell against whatever contradicts the beliefs in your red, white, and blue happy-bubble. And if you want an approximate number of how many people are drinking the kool-aid, extrapolate the presidential approval ratings. How is it that anyone could possibly think "George Bush is doing a good job as president"? What criteria exist that I don't know about? It absolutely astonishes me.

The media can't be measured as "liberal". It's impossible to do. So how is it that this myth is perpetuated? People just like my father don't like the way the truth makes them feel, so they ignore it. What this entire liberal media argument represents is the lengths people will go, to avoid acknowledging they're suckers.
