- Our 'Liberal Media':
- Judith Miller, Formerly Top Reporter for the New York Times: Give Iran Talks ‘The Good College Try’ But ‘Military Action’ Needed If They Fail (thinkprogress) "As New York Magazine noted in 2004, 'During the winter of 2001 and throughout 2002, Miller produced a series of stunning stories about Saddam Hussein’s ambition and capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction…almost all of which have turned out to be stunningly inaccurate.'” -- Hmmm, seems like I saw somewhere that the CIA has dozens (if not many more - and can anyone say "Operation Mockingbird") agents embedded in both influential and uninfluential positions in the major media. I also read somewhere a reporter's question whether Miller might not have just such an association. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that lying warmonger Miller is a CIA agent. I have no idea whatsoever about any of that. Just that as she was inaccurately cheer leading Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq for months for the New York Times, and now from neocon multibillionaire Rupert Murdoch's lying Faux News, she is once again cranking out her yarns -- only this time it's about Iran. Wouldn't the despicable neocons love to saddle Obama with another war! And, of course, the armaments makers would be perpetually orgazmic about it all.
- Republicon Lying Troglodytes:
- Coburn: I’m Willing To Go To Jail To Save Conscience Clause (wonkroom) -- Well, I say "Bring it on!" Send the whole damned lot of them to jail, where they already belong for a lot of other good reasons, the least of which are treason for aiding and abetting Bush's illegal dictatorship, his illegal invasion of Iraq and his torture policies.
- Great Drug-Addict Slob Leader of the Republicon Party: Rush Limbaugh -- A clear difference between Republicons and Democrats is very apparent here. If Democrats used the same tactics that Republicons have for years, we'd be seeing a glaring headline such as "Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove in Freak Head-On High-Speed Crash on Lonely, Deserted Highway: Authorities baffled at the coincidence, but declare no foul play was involved." I guess that shows pretty clearly where CIA loyalties come down.
- The Great Global Warming Denial Shakedown:
- After His Climate Denial Machine Is Exposed, Jim Inhofe's top aide Marc Morano Will Leave Senate Post (wonkroom) "Morano joined the Senate, with a $134,000 a year salary, from the rightwing [Scaife-owned] website Cybercast News Service (CNS), where he launched the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign against Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) in 2004 and attacked the war record of Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) in 2006. Morano was Rush Limbaugh’s “Man in Washington” in the 1990s. Limbaugh, of course, still promotes global warming denial."
