L(onely) W(hite) M(ale) -
you disengenous wormtongue, i waded through this whole comment section to see IF you would recant your REPEATED moronic braying about stoopid kampers having the temerity to so precipitously make a comparison to the gulf of tonkin 'incident'...
fucking moron, turns out that it is almost 100% applicable (we'll still have to wait and see if king george starts the war), YET YOU STILL BLATHER ON FOR YOUR SUPERIOR 'ANALYSIS' that makes no sense, won't admit you were not only wrong on the facts, but wrong on your suppositions, wrong on your putdown of kampers making the comparison, and still wrong now...
you won't address your fellow posters salient questions and comments, you persist in your asinine 'reasoning' with increasingly technical dissembling, isolated examples of no import, and reinterpretation of facts to match your pwecious theories...
if i am not mistaken, you were the high school geek who wheeled the A/V cart around to all the classrooms, and wouldn't let anyone else touch the filmstrip projector, 'cause you were the 'expert'...
you are *still* that smug/afraid geek...
you could at least try...

real simple now, i'll repeat for the slower kampers:
1. PAPER BALLOTS
2. HAND COUNTED
3. LOCALLY REPORTED
oh, we also need Instant Runoff Voting, too...

unless/until we can recapture, repurpose, and reform 'our' (sic) media, revolution will be the only solution...

gee, ain't it funny how revelations of see eye ehh and other alphabet soup spooks BUYING, FINANCING, PUBLISHING various journos, pundits, and other mediawhores kinda/sorta went nowhere ? ? ?
hee hee hee
*wouldn't* an ethical, self-policing (yeah, that always works *snicker*), profession *want* to investigate such truths, charges, and allegations to 'clear their name' ? ? ? *wouldn't* it be kinda/sorta a 'big story' ? ? ?
ho ho ho
it *used* to be that gummint agencies and the military involved in exercises in propaganda were kinda/sorta against the -you know- law... (one of those archaic, quaint strictures that just don't make any sense in a -you know- korporatocracy...)
ha ha ha
*wouldn't* a sincerely contrite profession *want* to -you know- investigate the who/when/where/why of fellow mediatools being corrupted, and just WHO are the THOUSANDS of unnamed 'others' who supposedly took payments/etc, as well as the few (STILL NOT DISCREDITED!!!) outed mediawhores who were willing sockpuppets for the gummint's evil minions of doom ? ? ?

i give you exhibit 'A' in the case against the mainstream media, kampers... they don't give a shit, don't want anyone to question their 'integrity' (much less investigate it themselves), and have totally abandoned their VITAL role of OUR PROXIES in afflicting the comfortable, and comforting the afflicted... The Bastards! (tm)
(oh, and just to remind kampers of how 'your' spook agencies work: they can and do plant stories in the foreign press that they FULLY INTEND (if not point out to compliant mediawhores) to be referenced or picked up by 'our' domestic media; thus skirting one of the pesky restrictions on their propaganda efforts... your tax dollars at work; i'm sure it is for our own good, i read an article where the gummint said so! *snort*)
come the revolution, mediawhores will be excoriated by the truth commissions...

another defensive point mainstream sychophants, er, reporters use to deflect valid criticism, is that *somewhere*, in *some* diluted fashion, *SOME* newspaper/reporter in The East Oshkosh Gazette & Penny Finder on page 28, *did* file a brief report on this or that issue, so *THAT* becomes their 'defense' for why *THEY* didn't cover it...
ho ho ho
THAT BEGS THE QUESTION: WAS IT AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF COVERAGE, INVESTIGATION, AND ANALYSIS DUE TO THAT SUBJECT AT THAT TIME ! ! !
ha ha ha
we can have wall-to-wall coverage for YEARS of an otherwise ordinary, minor, meaningless murder case (rich people, celebrities *AND* white chicks in peril from dark men, the trifecta of infotainment nirvana!); we have choppers and satellite trucks and mob reporting INSTANTLY on the scene of a stupid puppy/kid who fell in a well; we have endless streams of infotainment and celebrity 'news' saturating EVEN 'serious' teevee newscasts; we have a bevy of breathlessly braying blowhards (mostly reichwing, just a coinkydink, *wink*) who substitute ill-considered opinion for factual reporting; we have -in short- a rapacious, greedy bidness which has elbowed out most all the fiduciary duties which the mainstream media OWES the li'l peeps... it is -supposedly- their theoretical raison d'etre...
(now, in reality, their reason for being is to sell ads and worship the status quo...)
ak ak ak
now, here is yet another incredibly important issue which is all but ignored by the mainstream media, and the kings and queens of the media royalty are nowhere to be found...
...or offer tired putdowns of dodd, etc who have the temerity to defend constitutional rights (quaint as they may be) against the authoritarians and neo (nazi) con (artist) fascists...
useless useless useless
is it too late to bleat, sheeple ? ? ?

treating *OUR* (sic) proxies of the mainstream media as if it is just high school kewl kidz, jocks, and nerds writ large is a disservice to 'our' (sic) potemkin democrazy...
even mindless 'independent' hack reporters can/do produce good and necessary journalism when the korporate blinkers are taken off... (at least, they used to...)
unless/until 'our' mainstream media is reclaimed, repurposed, and reformed, we will NOT wake the sheeple up, and we will NOT break free of the greedy, grasping claws of kapitalist imperialism...
