further disapointment

i think that i blame a lot of the problems with this country on the mass media. in fact, i can't tell you how happy i am that both dan rather and tom brokaw are going to be retiring in the next few months. i honestly think that most of the people in charge of the major media outlets should be fired.

party politics have just come to influence too greatly the outcome and output of said media. these people, in that effort to seem "unbiased" have turned their backs on the nation that has supported them for so long. i mean really, who the fuck do these people think they are?

there should have been a great outcry from the news media in the days leading up to both the wars in afghanistan and in iraq. but of course, that would have demonstrated a prejudice against the president and his attempts to do what was "right" in the aftermath of the attacks in 2001.

the media have refused to recognize that letting more people die for a bogus cause is more harmful to the nation than openly sharing their disgust for the president and his clearly poor motives for war. they just accepted that iraq had to do with WMDs and not oil. and now people have the balls to suggest that the president lied to them. what the fuck ever.

i heard the same shit from the administration as anyone else, and i have never felt lied to. if you believed that the superficial motives were the reasons, then you shouldn't have had your job to begin with.

i guess i am just saying that the departure of these guys is long overdue. and really, my only problem or concern is that they will be replaced with equally poor judges of character and value.
