Consider this, Chase:
Just think what it would be like if Holocaust Deniers were elected to office as frequently as Republicans and major media outlets considered their opinions "respectable" and gave them airtime.
Shooter242...I have to ask....
Perhaps you've noticed that nobody in America starves and education through high school is free.
What does any parent notice right off about this statement?
Thank God! Shooter has no kids and has not passed on those stellar genes! If school is free, I want all that money back. Tuition might be free, but school costs to poor parents add up (Perhaps Shooter is a nudist and his kids went to school nekkid).
Shooter... Nobody in America starves... to death... yet!
I think this sums it up nicely so I'll post it and add the link.

You can find the link to the WaPo article there.
On Thursday, the Washington Post ran an article titled "Some Americans Lack Food, but USDA Won't Call Them Hungry."The article's first sentence:
The U.S. government has vowed that Americans will never be hungry again. But they may experience "very low food security."
Imagine! No more hunger!
That's what an invasion is, numbnutz. Ground forces. We can't do it. He knows that, even if you don't, numbnutz. We can use naval and air forces to blockade and bomb Iran. I'm sure these clowns want to. We may never know how close we came for some years, and it could still happen if we are playing games again like the dangerous game of nuclear jostling we engaged in with the Soviet Union on the high seas during the Cold War. See a book called Blind Man's Bluff, numbnutz. It is mostly about the use of subs for espionage, but it does go into some of it. And STFU. You are teh stoopid and it burns.
You idiot. It's sturm und drang. You smurfettes are too funny.
WTF is Strum Drang? Whatever it is, I kinda like it.
Shooter, you could make us all happy. Just go away. Don't come back.
It is, isn't it? It beats, "Gimme that thing" while pointing. Or do you just point and grunt with one finger and pick at your butt with the other, like a baboon?
And have been for some time. Just not from the air. We do it the old fashioned way, like in Iraq, with Kurdish groups from the west and some other tribes from the east across the Pakistani border. Did you parents have any children who lived?

dismilin:Glenn, if you're going to make your prose so thick, cut us a break and at least make complete sentences. So, when I read it for the third time, it will make sense.
They've got no place left to go.
"One dark night a dervish was passing a dry well when he heard a cry for help from below. 'What is the matter?' he called down.
'I am a grammarian, and I have unfortunately fallen, due to my ignorance of the path, into this deep well, in which I am now all but immobilized.' responded the other.
'Hold, friend, and I'll fetch a ladder and rope,' said the dervish.
'One moment please!' said the grammarian. 'Your grammar and diction are faulty; be good enough to amend them.'
'If that is so much more important than the essentials,' shouted the dervish, 'you had best stay where you are until I have learned to speak properly.'
And he went his way."
Considering Glenn's background in writing legalese, I think we have all been spared a "prose so thick" and Glenn is in no danger of producing an entry worthy of submission in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Writing contest.
"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."--Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Paul Clifford (1830)

Coming from a background in writing legalese like Glenn I think Glenn has
...has done rather well in crossing over.
I haven't had my supper yet. Is it already time for dessert?
No pundt cake for me, thank you.
You probably caught it already

Criticism of 'mainstream' journalism
Pilger is a strong critic of the institutions and economic forces that structure 'mainstream' journalism. He is particularly scornful of pro-Iraq war commentators on the liberal left, or 'liberal interventionists', such as Nick Cohen and David Aaronovitch.
He said in an address at Columbia University on 14 April 2006:
“During the Cold War, a group of Russian journalists toured the United States. On the final day of their visit, they were asked by their hosts for their impressions. ‘I have to tell you,’ said their spokesman, ‘that we were astonished to find after reading all the newspapers and watching TV, that all the opinions on all the vital issues were by and large, the same. To get that result in our country, we imprison people, we tear out their fingernails. Here, you don’t have that. What’s the secret? How do you do it?’"
Pilger's book Heroes (1968) is another indispensible work on Vietnam.

Do folks out there have any sense that we could (legislatively) reimpose the restriction that the airwaves be operated for the "Public Good" or in the "Public Interest" as was the case pre-deregulation?

Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
