  • Stephen Colbert Shows President Bush What Shock and Awe is All About
    2 May 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    Stephen Colbert was the celebrity entertainer at the 2006 White House Correspondent’s Dinner. But you wouldn’t know it if you only paid attention to main stream media outlets. That is because the main stream media is proving Stephen Colbert right. Colbert, in his persona as a conservative, flag waving, Bush supporting cable show host, unloaded on the Washington press and the administration in a bit of satirical, comedic genius. But the main stream press has decided to pretend it didn’t (…)

    Comedy Central star Stephen Colbert’s biting routine at the White House Correspondents Association dinner won a rare silent protest from Bush aides and supporters Saturday when several independently left before he finished.
    "Colbert crossed the line," said one top Bush aide, who rushed out of the hotel as soon as Colbert finished. Another said that the president was visibly angered by the sharp lines that kept coming.
    "I’ve been there before, and I can see that he is [angry]," said a (…)

    Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Before I begin, I’ve been asked to make an announcement. Whoever parked 14 black bulletproof S.U.V.’s out front, could you please move them? They are blocking in 14 other black bulletproof S.U.V.’s and they need to get out.

    Mainstream Media: Stephen? Stephen Who? Reported by Marie Therese - April 30, 2006
    Today, if you were an average American viewer of any one of the three major cable news stations and you had seen news reports about last night’s White House Correspondents Dinner, the name "Stephen Colbert" is not one that would immediately leap into your mind. That’s because there is an ongoing, concerted, deliberate media blackout of any coverage of Colbert’s politically charged comedic appearance at that (…)

  • MEDIA : Pack Journalism can be Lethal

    Pack Journalism can be Lethal Instead of checking facts, the media prefer to follow what others are saying
    By Gregory Clark
    April 10, 2006 Japan Times
    Some call it pack journalism. It is also lazy journalism.
    Instead of checking facts, the media prefer to follow what others are saying. And what others are saying is often inspired by establishment hardliners seeking to impose their agendas with the help of bogus news agencies, subsidized research outfits and hired scribblers. (…)

    The White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner was televised on C-Span Saturday evening. Featured entertainer Stephen Colbert delivered a biting rebuke of George W. Bush and the lily-livered press corps. He did it to Bush’s face, unflinching and unbowed by the audience’s muted, humorless response. Democratic Underground members commented in real time (here, here, and here).<script language="JavaScript" (…)

    Wow, wow, what an honor. The White House correspondents’ dinner. To just sit here, at the same table with my hero, George W. Bush, to be this close to the man. I feel like I’m dreaming. Somebody pinch me. You know what; I’m a pretty (…)

  • Mainstream Media lying by omission & complicity in 2.7 million Bush Wars death toll - Iran next?
    18 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Decent people are appalled by news reports of an impending US attack on Iran and we might surmise that if it is a prolonged war (cf Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Vietnam and Korea) that millions of people will die, if not from direct violence then from the collateral but equally deadly consequences of war. US Asian wars over the last 55 years have been associated with avoidable mortality totalling about 18 million - but this is IGNORED by racist, lying, Mainstream Media. A more pertinent (…)

    NEW YORK - April 5 - Given the mainstream media’s general antipathy towards France and nearly unanimous endorsement of neoliberal corporate globalization, it’s no surprise that reporters covering the massive student protests in France would be unimpressed with pleas to protect workers’ rights.
    The policy under fierce debate would allow many French employers more "flexibility" to hire and fire young workers (…)
