Reply #10: Just when I think I am certifiable... [View All]

I find out I'm not. I was surprised at the spin on this, harking back to the war, oh, we're so grateful, we're so grateful, blah, blah,blah.

The media wingnuts portray every second or third world country as orphan children straight out of a Dickens movie, asking for more mush and ever so grateful to get it, instead of the intelligent adults that they are. It's racism and nationalism in it's worst form, really, "oh those poor foreigners, they want what we have so badly, which entitles us to anything they have, we're sure they will understand. Just to be near us, have some of our illustrious citizens in their country, they will put up will all kinds of larceny."

I'm so glad the media is giving a little attention to this. We're all over dem. legislators about being spineless, but who really need to re-grow their cojones in this country are journalists. They need to go back to investigative reporting (so Palast won't be so lonely) and actually reporting news instead of kissing right-wing ass. What started with a stray remark by a bleach blonde and may end with Bush in a double bind is really bringing reporting back to life in this country. Long live the Dixie Chicks!
