i find this unintentionally hilarious. i wish i could remember things from before i was born, like Joe apparantly can

However…

I think it was extraordinarily irresponsible to make a guy like Joe into an “everyman” celebrity when he clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and didn’t even know what he was talking about when he questioned Obama the first time. And the only reason Joe was created in the first place is because McCain wanted to dishonestly spin a very small soundbite against Obama and it didn’t work. But now we have Joe giving us gems like, “I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting.”

But hey, it sure is Mavericky! :-)

The whole narrative of the current Israel/Hamas conflict is not what caused it, or what Israel or Hamas is hoping to achieve, or how they are strategically and tactically achieving it. Instead, the entirety of the news is focussed on how many Palestinian children are being killed in explosions presumably caused by Israeli armaments. They want Israel to stop. And they are trying to convince you to believe the same through their biased reporting.

As much as there might be government propaganda, there most certainly is media propaganda, as time and time again the Associated Press and Reuters have been proven to be advocates for the perceived weaker side in these asymmetrical wars. Anybody remember the photoshopped AP photos of smoke from Beirut, those pictures of the “Lebanese toy-collector” or “green-helmet guy” in 2006? No? Well of course not. Why would the mainstream press reveal their complicity in disseminating propaganda from “resistance” groups that the editors, in their own minds, pledge solidarity with?

I ask you all, when is the American populace going to get behind this war effort and support it. You know, write songs about how great the troops are, start paying their taxes, etc. He’s an idiot.
