I canceled my cable subscription two months ago and now I get NO reception. Know what? I don't miss a thing; in fact I've GAINED peace of mind.
What set me over the edge one night was not network news (which I'd stopped watching long ago, because the "readers" just plain LIE), but CABLE news, which believe it or not is just as bad (case in point: Its 24/7 coverage of a sexual affair by a political has-been during the Russia/Georgia conflict). The station that sent me clear over the "edge" turned out to be CNN.
Kudos to Mr. Greenwald for not letting up. The Corporatocracy does not have our best interests in mind, PERIOD, and that includes MSNBC, the harmless and toothless "controlled opposition." I figure there is no point to paying a cable subscription just to catch Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. I can catch my truth - and the Daily Show - for FREE on the internet.
This man, McCaffrey, Bill Clinton's enforcer of cruel and unjust American drug-war policy and sentences, as well as having been the American military commander directly abutting (overseeing?) the Saddam Hussein slaughter of Marsh Shiites and others in 1991 after Gulf War I, which was explicitly permitted and even encouraged by President George Bush the 1st (Iraqi helicopters, baby!), has to be satirized by Saturday Night Live, the only broadcast medium allowed to say anything halfway important.
Saturday Night Live is the only way to get NBC's and the other networks' attention these days. That's because it's the only thing the public pays enough attention to that's free to watch. Otherwise, it's all a tree falling in the forest situation. Actually, it should fall on Brian Williams and Mel Gibson's brother-in-arms, Charlie, but only to pin them down.
These network news executives and their anchors (dead weights?), including Blitzer and the Fox propaganda squad, plus the hate-radio all-stars, should be shipped in chains in steerage to The Hague when the time comes, along with their idols Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Kristol, Perle, Wolfowitz, Bremer, et al. Not kidding at all (well, maybe not in steerage). Serbia had the courage, remorse, and public morality to send Milosevic. The U.S. has.....The Daily Show!
Nuremburg principles equal justice and dignity for the individual. Network news equals conscious war-crimes complicity. And McCaffrey is a typically key operative involved in domestic and international policies of the U.S. that can only rightly be considered sadism in action. And he dares show his face and flaunt his corruption.

Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
