Think! It ain't illegal yet!

I was right again (scroll down to March 11): Spitzer was targeted, and that makes the investigation illegal. In America, we don't prosecute for political reasons. Er, didn't prosecute for political reasons, before Bushcheney.

John McCain goes to Iraq and makes a few socio-political blunders, showing off his ignorance of foreign policy, but the mainstream media focusses on the bullshit Clinton-Obama "war." What does that tell you? It tells you that the media would rather have you focus on the weaknesses of the Democratic candidates, than reveal the weakness of the Republican candidate. Now, what does that tell us? It tells us, in no uncertain terms, that the mainstream media operates as an organ of the Republican party.

Let's have a look at a sample page. If you're seeing the same page I saw, you're seeing eight headlines under the "Election Coverage" banner. There is no mention of McCain. In fact, Bush is at the top. Hello? Rather, we find three headlines for stories which appear to be bad news about Obama, and one which leads with the phrase "Anti-Clinton." One other head suggests that Bill Richardson is 'loyal' to the Clintons, but the story is about his endorsement of Obama (more conflict inside the party, see?). The general effect of the page is to emphasize that the Democrats are not organized or focused e
nough to be able to focus on policy, and are therefore not fit to be President.

As long as we read/view mainstream media, we are in their thrall. This is the kind of enemy I'm fighting.

Think for yourself, and my fight is won.

It's International Waffle Day today.

Bela Bartok, Aretha Franklin, Frank Oz, Elton John and Sarah Jessica Parker were all born on this day (1881, 1942, '44, '47 and '65, respectively).
