Oh what a tangled web they weave.

Talk about laundering monetary transactions,...

these Party of God - Republicans,...

have graft,.. corruption,... and self enrichment

down to a fine art. Would Jesus condone this ?

This financial skulduggery by these ultra right-wing

Congressional-Capos,... have put likes of

Al-(phon-sus) Capone to shame.

As a Syndicate of Criminality - Par Excellence,...

these Republicans are.

They have dragged our government,..

in to the cesspools and sewers,.. along with them.

About a week before the election, Newsweak will have a story about Ney and the voting machine payoff and then you'll never hear about it again.

They did it last time. A week before the election thay had a FRONT PAGE picture of people in the voting booth with the caption "Will Your Vote Be Counted".

Larry #3... Yes, I was a long-time subscriber to Newsweek, and cancelled because of their failure to cover the stolen '04 elections. Usually, the staff at least discusses scandals, although with such equanimity that it makes the reader feel everything will turn out okay in the end, and there's no need to get outraged. But the staggering statistical anomalies of '04 voting? They wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. They didn't acknowledge that the issue even existed.

Imagine a magazine that you didn't even need to subscribe to unless you could afford it and covered the issues important to you!

BRADWEEK magazine!

Corporate-controlled media. Newsweek is just another status-quo rag, unwilling to offend anyone and trying to get by on its reputation.

The 2004 election is just too hot. Seymour Hersh said exactly that over a year ago. The corporate media won't touch it because it's too hot.

There's a subtle dynamic at work, also. Mainstream media insist on "balance" in their reporting. That's why Bush has gotten away with so many lies; he or Scottie McClellan tells a whopper, but it isn't reported as a lie, just as one side of an argument. Then they print a Democrat's opinion, and the lie dissolves into legitimate political discourse.

There's no way to report election fraud on a balanced basis. Fraud is fraud. If the media start to investigate and find evidence of vote-flipping or deliberate shorting of machines to minority districts, that can't be balanced by someone else's opinion, because evidence isn't a point of view, it's evidence.

They don't want to report on statistical anomalies, because 1) the subject is too esoteric for most readers, and 2) the laws of mathematics can't be balanced out by somebody's opinion.

I, too was a long-time subscriber to Newsweek. When my subscription lapsed in early '05, I just let it go, as I was amazed that they didn't cover the questions of the election.
What a disapointment that such a part of my life was let go. I'd had a subscription for over 30 years!

Feeney. Still here. Justice has sure been slow for Ray Lemme. It will come.

I watched The Today Show for 20 years. It turned into fluff. I get my news from the net now. CNN is a little better.

The great Paul Krugman put it best:

(Paraphrasing) If Bush said the world is flat, the next day the headlines would read:

"Shape of the World: Views Differ!"

Larry Bergan says:

"Republicans have stolen the last three elections using every imaginable method! Period. Exclamation point!"

RLM, #6, astute, as always!

RLM #6

On Keith Olbermann, who was not really looking for "balance" (a.k.a. grey ops), had Ken Silverstein on for a bit. Silverstein said:

"... the white house is lying ..."

See the episode. An article about it is linked here.

and it concerned the HookerGate (not Jeffie) scandal at the watergate.

He was talking about "9 fingers", "Dusty Foggo", and some other agents Porter Goss brought on board to "clean up" the CIA.

I am still laughing at the names of these folk who are entrusted with protecting the fatherland ... er uh ... wink wink ... the homeland.

The direct link to the article (Nine Fingers and The Third Man) at Harpers, which I mentioned in my post #11 above, is linked here.

How in the, (excuse me), F'n hell did I get directed to this thread on 9-08-2006!

Never mind! I am drunk and googled my own name and it sent me here. Nothing special. But as far as i can tell, Newsweak is still making a bad mistake!
