Will CorpMedia Stand Up about McCain?

Chomsky would have a field day with the dilemma facing the shadow government.

Palin is not only a dangerous radical fundamentalist lunatic, she is likely to ascend to the presidency within the first term of a McCain administration.

The Palin gambit indicates that Rove's machine knew that if Gramps was the focus of the campaign, they were going to lose bad. Palin was chosen precisely to take the focus off of the increasingly obviously senile McCain, and put it on the perky fundaloon governor of Alaska. That part of the gambit has been wildly successful.

The problem is that Palin is unacceptable as head of state, even to the vile elites running our republic. That unacceptability was put on undeniable display in the Gibson interview (part I of a rolling disaster.) The terms of the interview itself are an open embarrassment: the vice presidential candidate has to be cloistered from the media and can only be shown with a selected 'friendly' as her interrogator, and with it seems prepared topics handed to her in advance so she can memorize and regurgitate canned responses. And even in that softest of settings she is failing miserably. In part I, to anyone paying attention, she demonstrated a complete ignorance of world affairs and a startlingly dangerous and cavalier attitude about engaging our nation in a nuclear confrontation.

What will the elites do? Will they unleash CorpMedia to bring down the McCain/Palin team? Will they continue the charade and risk an actual nation-wrecking disaster here? Are they willing to walk down the road that the German corporate and aristocratic elites walked 78 years ago?

The race is so close now, they'll be able to steal it again.

I only see 2 things that can change the outcome - One is Obama's good luck. So far he's had phenomenal luck in his prior races - maybe it'll hold up.

The other possibility is that the CorpMedia flinches. The sophisticated business & political leaders at the top have to see what a risk McCain & Palin are to world stability - and to America's credibility in the world. Rupert Murdoch is reported to be making a left turn - he's interested in Obama - and supposedly is close to the Clintons. Could he start the trend by pulling in Faux News?

The real question is will that internal debate break out into an open factional split within the elites, and will that split manifest itself as an actual change in CorpMedia behavior, rather than, as in 2004, a lone individual trying to 'fix the problem' and easily derailed and suitably punished as in the case of Dan Rather?

I'm not encouraged. Time is running out. Obama may yet pull this out of the fire, but the media onslaught and the election shennanigans are difficult to defeat. Without help it may not happen. Donate. Bought airtime is at least better than nothing. Volunteer. I'm an atheist, but if it helps for you, pray.
