		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve reached the point where it becomes necessary to accept the fact that expecting the media to report properly on Obama’s objectives or on the crimes of the Bush administration is a lot like an alcoholic taking the next drink and expecting that the same thing that happened the last time won’t happen again, in other words, the insanity of not learning from previous insults and mistakes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m tired but will continue to vent my outrage at every chance I get. I confront people who make coded racist remarks and let them know that it isn’t cool in the America we want to live in to engage in racist blather while our country falls down around our ears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t read the Times or the WaPo or Time, Newsweek, or the other organs of disinformation nor do I watch MSM news. I watch TV maybe three hours a night: Keith, Rachel, then Family Guy and Robot Chicken on Adult Swim…that regimen seems to be more relevant and less maddening.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The nation is at war on two fronts.  Certainly the Republican Party is the first but their ally needs to be recognized as perhaps an even greater threat.  The corporate media and their ability to shape public opinion however the please.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The error in Graham’s statement is that the red states already don’t pay their fair share of taxes and get back a lot more than they put in.  So why should we continue that same process?  Don’t you think it’s about time that they shelled out what they are in arrears?  If they were this far in arrears in child support payments, they would be facing a long time in jail.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have been receiving The Washington Post since the 1980’s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is a corporatist, power elite rag which also has to service a (shrinking) redneck readership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They have a reader’s Ombudsman whose IQ must barely break the century mark. The previous Ombudsman was fairly intelligent, and raised too many thorny contradictions for the Post, so they downgraded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The paper is full of status quo propagandists like Howard Kurtz, and Dana Milbank, who pose as mainstream in their commentary/reporting, but slip in right-wing buzz-bombs at strategic points - very much in the manner of Fareed Zakaria. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Post loved the Iraq War. I am sure the daily nearly half page ads purchased by the American WMD manufacturers during the gin-up and invasion had nothing to do with the paper’s daily creation and selections of “news” stories about the Saddam threat to Oklahoma.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
