Gotta say that I wasn't always a big fan of President Clinton's economic policies while he was in office, but today he is my hero for speaking truth to power on Fox News. As to why the news media gives a pass to Bush and the Republicans, there are easy answers: 1) Because they have the backing of some powerful and wealthy corporate backers that want to keep Republicans in power to ensure friendly policies, and 2) because the Republicans have done a good job of shaping the public discourse in their own terms. This shifting of the debate to the right has involved hiring hundreds of talking heads all over the country to fill people's head full of nonsense and to create the impression that the Republicans are the cool kids and its best not to be seen with those Democratic losers over there. This, in spite of the fact that time after time after time the "losers" turn out to be right, smarter, more honest and more competant, and the cool kids are a bunch of lying assholes who are just looking out for themselves and the people that pay their bills. This administration has been a disaster and the president is an entitled rich kid who lets greedy idealoges tell him what to think. However, they have convinced the news media that pointing out this fact would not only endanger the country, but put the media in league with our enemies. Of course, this is ridiculous. | |
