The Absurd Report

Time to Revisit a Media Low Point (and to Heed the Implicit Warning) - One of the hallmarks of the painfully-too-long Bush presidency has been the abject failure of the traditional media to adopt an interrogative or disputatious stance toward the administration. We’ve been treated to a half decade plus of stenography with a few smatterings of lucidity (Katrina being the lone example that comes to mind). Narratives and storylines favoring the rightwing point of view and disfavoring the left (He has to be kidding?)have pervaded media coverage, and ‘trusted’ mainstream reporters,(???) icons of the traditional press, have cheerfully peddled myths about George W. Bush that are laughably at odds with reality.

The mystique of a firm, resolute, compassionate, likable, religious, visionary cowboy is the result of a symbiotic relationship between conservative myth-makers, rightwing noisemakers, and occupationally-challenged reporters. And astonishingly, the fact that most Americans have seen through the facade hasn’t deterred the traditional media from perpetuating these pro-Bush and anti-Dem narratives. (Pro Bush? This guy belongs on the comedy channel.)

SideBear: The Daou Report was published on the website Salon.Com which is a big favorite of the lefties. The reason I published here is to give you some insight into the warped deranged minds of the left.

I don’t know if Daou really believes the lies he is writing or if he is just pandering to his readers but there are a lot of sickos that buy into this garbage.

No link provide here because I don’t link to lefty wackos.
