President Bush: Is He a Liar?

America's Right Turn: How Conservatives Used New and Alternative Media to Take Power
Liberal media activists beware! Richard A. Viguerie, venture capitalist of the conservative movement (described as funding father of the right) and David Franke, a founder of the conservative movement, detail how conservatives-shut out by the liberal mass media of the 1950s and '60s-came to power by utilizing new and alternative media, and then created their own mass media.

The media is totally controlled by the conservatives and the right wing. Even though there are a few who are allowed to tell the truth, in the long run, the media always backs conservatives. If you look to see what has happened in the past to good Liberals who tried to set this country straight and how they were maligned in the media, you will understand.

Eugene McCarthy, one of the finest minds of the last century, was vilified over and over by the media. They never gave George McGovern a chance and those who read political history know that the man who was perhaps the most intellectual of all, Adlai Stevenson, was crushed by the right wing. The media is controlled by the bankers and the oil cartel and anyone who has watched good people steamrollered by them knows that.

You wake up! MarionT isn't on anyone's side but his own. He is trolling, plain and simple; agreeing with him is the height of idiocy.

We can only assume that you guys who are spending so much time and verbage excoriating MarionT are 100% opposed to what he (she?) is saying. I find that fascinating.

As the New York Times reports, conditions in Baghad are so dangerous that Rice -- usually the very picture of modern fashion as she touches down in foreign capitals -- was forced to arrive in Iraq "wearing a helmet and a flak jacket and flanked by machine-gun-toting bodyguards to defend against insurgents."

That's once she got there. As the Times reports, the secretary couldn't just fly into Baghdad on her State Department jet and take the customary Town Car ride on her rounds. Instead, Rice had to fly to Turkey, where she ditched her usual plane for a C-17A equipped with antimissile technology. Even that wasn't enough, however. As the military transport plane approached Baghdad, pilots were forced to circle high for about 40 minutes because rocket or mortar fire was coming from somewhere around the airport.

Once Rice finally touched down, the military shuffled her into a helicopter for the short trip to the Green Zone; the highway from the airport is still too dangerous for travel.

Things didn't get much better as the day went on. Iraqi officials said that at least 35 people were killed or found dead around the country Thursday; 27 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq so far this week. While Rice didn't come face-to-face with any of that violence, she did get one small glimpse of what life is like in Baghdad now: The lights went out in the midst of Rice's meeting with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani -- "a reminder," the Times says, that Baghdad's electrical service is "erratic and sometimes nonexistent."
