well educated, affable, but a tool nonetheless.
I invite him to trade places with me for a month and see if he retains his enthusiasm for profiting on human misery.

and this is what I got. I don't know how them there Dog dems feel about this here movie Sicko and that there guy Moore, so who knows?

my uncle who is a real asshat is a dem.

I don't give a shit, I just got curious and looked him up.

I'm actually doing that to a lot of people in the media. No dice other than Gupta.

and i try to think back--"Why did i look up Tim Conway again?" it's always interesting for sure. i always find people i think of as non political are the ones who ending up giving.

I wish I could find a copy of this...it was a discussion I heard the other day on a public radio station which discussed how people who report the news are not always the ones doing the "legwork". It's having interns, researchers, producers and writers build most of the story and the reporter/anchor only gets involved in the final stages of the story's development. The "underlings" supposedly fact check and "balance" the story by contacting "experts"...many that end up working for think tank and "insitutes" that are nothing more than corporate or political PR outfits meant to spin stories. This is where the distortion begins.

The person speculated that Gupta had little to do with the specific writing of the story...being called in to "face" the story after most of it was completed; thus why he was blind-sided so badly by Moore on several occasions. The modus operandi he used was never challenged and you could see how quickly CNN circled the wagons around him and his "story".

Thank-you Michael Moore for recognizing how this game is played and being prepared to beat it down. I'm hoping others are taking notes here on how to confront the corporate media and call it on its bullshit.

He's obviously more faithful to his employer than to his party.
