DAVID BRODER - Whitewashes Bush era TORTURE - Charter Member of the WHORE Washington Post Neo-Con Liars club...

WELL, IT's ABOUT TIME! GLENN GREENWALD, SCOTT HORTON, Jim White, Buzzflash.com, and FireDogLake.com have all been catching the Washington Post's uber- "Conventional Wisdom" columnist DAVID BRODER doing his one & only job:
LYING to Post readers, and American citizens, in order to (attempt to) justify and legitimize the FEUDAL efforts to CONCENTRATE WEALTH & POWER in New York (corporate America) and Washington DC, at the expense of American citizens, and at the expense of those foreign citizens at risk of being burned, blown-up, or buried in America's insane lust to take control of the world's dwindling natural resources.

In a nutshell, in this case, Broder does his Washington on-high Authoritarian "we know best" effort to SPIN any attempts at coming to terms with Cheney & Bush's vast TORTURE GULAG, as no more than "an unworthy desire for vengeance" by Bush & Cheney critics.
To develop this argument - which taken to its logical conclusion would hold that the NUREMBERG TRIALS were "NOTHING BUT VENGEANCE," Mr. Broder, in typical NY Times and) Washington Post fashion, strings together a series of COMPLETE FALSEHOODS - LIES - that individually seem innocuous enough, but collectively, if the reader doesn't catch the lies & failures in logic of the individual components, indeed seems to arrive at the conclusion that Broder is pushing, in this case that TORTURE INVESTIGATION would be nothing but "Partisan Vengeance."

But before we address Mr. Broder's LYING assumptions in turn, we must ask, "WHERE THE HELL was the Washington Post's star "middle-of-road," "conventional-wisdom," 'CONSENSUS' commentator when the Cheney-Bush administration and Rumsfeld-WOLFOWITZ ruled US Department of Defense were running their SHOW-TRIAL, Nazi/Stalinist Kangaroo Courts for FEMALE PRIVATES, accused ONLY of "ABUSE" - where was the Great "Conses us" imminent Washington Post commentator back then?"

Well, obviously enough, the regime - the Bush-Cheney administration and their Washington establishment powers-that-be supporters, include the STOLEN-ELECTIONS WHITEWASHING Washington Post - needed to run SOME kind of SCAPEGOAT investigations into the ABU GHRAIB TORTURE and "ABUSE" photos - IF it was acknowledged that the United States military under Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-WOLFOWITZ had a SADISTIC STREAK a mile long, it would seriously undermine the Washington establishment's carefully built-up RATIONAL FOR WAR in Iraq. After all, President Bush PLEDGED that the Iraq war would LIBERATE IRAQIS from Saddam's TORTURE DUNGEONS - and here it was, barely months into the US occupation, and Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, & Wolfowitz were RUNNING TORTURE PRISONS, in the SAME prisons, that Saddam had used and made infamous!

So OF COURSE the COWARDLY, TREACHEROUS LIARS at the Washington Post were willing to let FEMALE PRIVATES take the fall for BUSH, CHENEY, RUMSFELD, and WOLFOWITZ's TORTURE ORDERS.

Wolfowitz PERSONALLY VISITED Abu Ghraib prison shortly before the photos were made public, and he wasn't there to see how shiny and polished the prisoners & US guards had modernized Saddam's personal torture gulag.
Wolfowitz was there to OVERSEE & INSPECT the "SECRET" INTEL WING of the prison, THE TORTURE WING of the prison, where hapless prisoners were sent for the REAL torture sessions, after the female Privates and their NCO superiors had spent the previous weeks making the prisoners' lives a living hell with CLEARLY SADISTIC, and often violent & injurious treatment.

We now know that the Abu Ghraib/Guantanamo/Bagram airbase/Diego Garcia and other US TORTURE PRISONS were the CENTERPIECE of Dick Cheney's diabolical efforts to make FEAR the PRIME ELEMENT of the US occupation of Iraq in relation to Iraqis, "freedom" much less "democracy" be damned.

(In fact, psychologically Cheney was trying to duplicate SLAVERY era JUSTIFICATIONS FOR TORTURE and CRUELTY from the Slave States South to Iraq - just as in the Deep South before the Civil War, "masters" could WHIP A SLAVE TO DEATH, for ANY reason, at any time, there were NO instances of pre-Civil War Southern law EVER prosecuting slave owners for cruel or murderous treatment of slaves, because of course slavery was FOUNDED on MURDER (people won't voluntarily leave their homes to be chained and shackled and treated worse than cattle - you MUST KILL a few captives, to TERRIFY the rest), and slavery can only be SUSTAINED through CONTINUALLY APPLIED TERROR - violence, the threat of violence or murder, and relentless intimidation - otherwise slaves will walk off the farms & plantations if there is no IMMEIDATE threat of violence of injury.)

SCRATCH Broder's logic deep enough, he is basically defending Cheney's RIGHT to export SLAVERY ERA-TERRORISM - BY American slave-owners over their terrorized "chattel property" - worldwide.

And the NEO-CON (Jewish) DOMINATED Washington Post, and (Jewish owned) New York Times, are "IN" on that awful, appalling, dehumanizing agenda. In fact, they LOVE David Broder, precisely for putting such a bland, innocuous, non-threatening face on their "WE HAVE A RIGHT TO SEIZE YOU OFF THE STREETS, TORTURE YOU, KILL YOU, and NOT EVEN NOTIFY YOUR FAMILY" agenda.

For - as we have just explained - Mr. Broder thinks that ANY inquiry that would undo or threaten that SOVEREIGN MAJESTY of Cheney & Bush and their UNLIMITED "war on terra" torture gulags would be the crime of Lèse majesté and as a Royal Courtier, it is his job to insult, demean, and put in place those critics, in advance of the Royal State coming along and tossing those critics into the very Cheney-Bush torture Gulag that is, of course "Defending Freedom and Democracy" (NOT!).

MR. BRODER is a VILE, Washington Establishment WHORE - it is HIS JOB, to PUT "The LITTLE PEOPLE" in their place, to justify PUTTING FEMALE PRIVATES IN PRISON, so those who ORDERED TORTURE can go free, and so the US TORTURE GULAGS can be downshifted a gear or two, but STILL RUN with IMMUNITY, IMPUNITY, and BEYOND OVERSIGTH and the reach of US law or human rights.

DAVE BRODER IS A PAID, PROFESSIONAL LIAR, a royalist sycophant, and an elitist, entitled soulless commissar of the DC punditry, who DEFENDS in Washington authorities EXACTLY that which he & they once condemned about Saddam Hussein.

Could David Broder Be any More Dishonest and Morally Corrupt?
By: Scarecrow Sunday April 26, 2009
http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/4972

David Broder's column today provides a depressing example of the type of intellectual dishonesty and moral corruption of Beltway pundits that Glenn Greenwald (among many others) has been assailing in recent posts.

Broder is appalled at the thought the United States of America might wind up prosecuting senior US officials, possibly even the President, for committing serious felonies. He acknowledges that "without identifying and punishing the perpetrators, there can be no accountability -- and therefore no deterrent lesson for future administrations." But rather than struggle with the implications of failing to hold senior officials accountable for committing serious crimes, Broder performs a COWARDLY BAIT & SWITCH:

[Broder writes] "It is a plausible-sounding rationale, but it cloaks an unworthy desire for vengeance."

Broder then tries to obscure his moral cowardice by further dishonesty: [dismissing all calls for Torture investigations as "A SEARCH FOR SCAPEGOATS"]:

[Broder writes]: "Obama should use all the influence of his office to stop the retroactive search for scapegoats.

David Broder, Dead Wrong, Again

Sunday April 26, 2009
http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/4973
n his April 26 column, David Broder descends to a new low in his disgustingly evil campaign to prevent accountability for torture as a United States government policy. Sadly, he recognizes the key reason for investigations leading to prosecutions:

Their argument is that without identifying and punishing the perpetrators, there can be no accountability -- and therefore no deterrent lesson for future administrations.

However, Broder just can't live with the thought that his pals in the government might have to face up to the crimes they have committed. His very next sentence negates the one clear thought he had:

It is a plausible-sounding rationale, but it cloaks an unworthy desire for vengeance.

No. Just no. Broder just can't accept the fact that he stumbled upon. Prosecutions are simply the only way administrations will learn that they cannot break the law with impunity. What do we have when the government is free to break the law without consequence? Dictionary.com provides a definition: "arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power". The word defined here is "tyranny". Broder is so afraid of the appearance of "vengence" that he chooses to embrace tyranny.

But the evil in [Broder's} column continues...

-----------------------------------------------------

GLENN GREENWALD catches David Broder's ABJECT HYPOCRISY: WHITEWASHING the Cheney-Bush administration's ABOLISHING habeas corpus, and DISGARDING the GENEVA CONVENTIONS on war-crimes back in 2006, when Broder was a COURT APOLOGIST doing his damndest to JUSTIFY and WHITEWASH those exact "dark side" tendencies that Broder now claims were an unknown and errant abberation.

Glenn Greenwald writes:
<< To justify the ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY [for ALL CRIMES] he [Broder, today] wants for government lawbreakers, Broder describes the Bush era as "one of the DARKEST CHAPTERS of American history, when certain terrorist suspects were whisked off to secret prisons and subjected to waterboarding and other forms of painful coercion [TORTURE and in some instances MURDER] in hopes of extracting information about threats to the United States." But that's easy to say now that the Bush presidency is over and the EVIDENCE of its CRIMINALITY so UNDENIABLE.
BUT Broder NEVER SAID ANY SUCH THING _WHILE it was all TAKING PLACE_,
when it mattered. In fact, he [Broder] DID THE OPPOSITE: he MOCKED those who tried to sound the alarm about how radical and "dark" the Bush presidency was and repeatedly DEFENDED what Bush officials were doing [by Broder's own admission, CRIMES] as perfectly NORMAL, UNALARMING, and well WITHIN the BOUNDS of mainstream and LEGITIMATE POLICY. >>

Broder -- in a September 15, 2006 Washington Post chat -- was asked by a reader about an Editorial in The New York Times which appeared that morning that warned of the grave dangers of abolishing habeas corpus and the protections of the Geneva Conventions, as the soon-to-be-enacted Military Commissions Act sought to do.

BUZZFLASH MEDIA PUTZ OF THE WEEK: David Broder
April 23, 2009
http://blog.buzzflash.com/honors/161
For reporting that is an embarrassment to the profession of journalism, and for being beholden to corporate paymasters rather than the citizens of America....

The web’s most brilliant Constitutional journalist and conscience, Glenn Greenwald, jumped all over "D.C. Villager" David Broder for a morally bankrupt April 26th Washington Post column entitled, "Stop Scapegoating. Obama Should Stand Against Prosecutions."

Broder, who EMBODIES the COLLEGIAL CLUBINESS and MUTUAL PROTECTION RACKET of the D.C. elite (which includes "nationally respected pundits" like Broder), is indignant that anyone would want to find "scapegoats" for torture. Let’s see, if a man shoots a kid just because he looks like a gang member, we guess the shooter is a "scapegoat" to Broder.

Greenwald argues that Broder long defended Bush’s extreme, unconscionable policies and [that Broder] EXCORCIATED those individuals WHO STOOD UP FOR the law, morality, and the Constitution. As Greenwald observes in his withering style:
< On other occasions, Broder mocked those who suggested there was anything extremist or radical about Bush's "counter-terrorism" policies; hailed "Bush's conviction that the quest for freedom is a universal truth"; proclaimed his confidence in Donald Rumsfeld's pre-war Iraq plans; and compared 2002 war opponents to "Jane Fonda in Hanoi or antiwar protesters marching under Viet Cong flags." >

One of Greenwald’s key points is that the INSIDE the beltway ELITES are PROTECTING THEMSELVES when they vigorously advocate "just moving on." We recently saw this in a dismaying television appearance by Peggy Noonan in which she dismissed torture as some sort of trivial historic event. Noonan, like Broder, were protecting the backs of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld as they tortured people to death and got us into a Godforsaken war.
If Broder were to apply for a job as a columnist today, he would summarily be put in the rejected pile. He’s an illogical apologist for the "D.C. club" who wraps himself in the cloak of just having "common sense."
But the only common sense that Broder has is akin to the backside of a Jackass.
And for that, he merits being anointed the BuzzFlash Media Putz of the Week.

Broder For the Defense [of Bush-Cheney admin. TORTURE Crimes]

[paraphrase: In trying to WHITEWASH and BURY the "Bush & Cheney & their minions with premeditation created a vast, MURDEROUS Torture Gulag" story, tries to make the case that SIMPLY because some BushCo. minion lawyers DISCUSSED the murderous torture program - there MUST BE _NO_ CRIME!]
Scott Horton catches an actual David Broder TORTURE WHITEWASH paragraph:
"The memos on torture represented a deliberate, and internally WELL-DEBATED policy decision, made in the proper places — the White House, the intelligence agencies and the Justice Department — by the proper officials."

The WASHINGTON POST, the CIA, and the ISRAEL War-Lobby LIKUD PARTY: JOINED AT THE HIP...

AMERICA a ONE PARTY DICTATORSHIP: BOTH the "DEMOCRAT" Party, AND the Republican Party, are now OWNED and CONTROLLED by the Israel right-wing pro-wars LIKUD Party.

ho humm. Writing that "the radical-right Wing Israel War Lobby" (i.e. the LIKUD Party, which prayed for, incited, and applauded THE ASSASSINATION of Prime Minister Rabin in 200_) is SYNONYMOUS with the NEW YORK TIMES and WASHINGTON POST, is sort of like writing "the sky is full of air, and the ocean is full of seawater."
If you need a real source to expose a few tidbits of this vast ocean of fact, here's an excellent one -
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2009/031509.html
- by a "Washington Insider" who helped to break the "IRAN-CONTRA" scandal (i.e. "ILLEGAL Republican/Isreal-lobby WARS in Central & South Ameica, beyond the oversight or even knowledge of Congressional approval") back in the earl 1980s.
(note: The US Constitution SPECIFICALLY grants the power to declare and fund war to the US Congress - NOT to the ISRAEL, the war-lobby or right-wing Republican War-Party.)
Well, SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE, and, today, nearly THREE DECADES LATER, the ISRAEL LOBBY and the Republican WAR-PARTY, STILL take it as "their right" to dominate and control the US government, especially where FOREIGN WARS are concerned.

Hell, a VERY SENIOR "opposition" Party Democrat, Jane Harman, even went as far as to HELP the (pro-war!) BUSH administration - the REPUBLICAN Bush administration - WIN election 2004, (the Democrats were then in the minority in both the House & the Senate) - "DEMOCRAT" AIPAC-lobby mouthpiece CONGRESSWOMAN JANE HARMAN, requested that the NEW YORK TIMES _WITHHOLD PUBLICATION_ of the "ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE by BUSH Administration using NSA" story until AFTER election 2004 - thereby ROBBING Democrati voters and donors of a GREAT SCANDAL ISSUE on the eve of that critical election - an election which would ENABLE ANOTHER AIPAC/LIKUDIK "American" official, Bush ATTORNEY GENERAL Michael Mukasey, to not only WHITEWASH the torture scandal for another 2+ years, but JANE HARMAN's TREACHERY woudl HELP the Republican Department of Justice WHITEWASH and BURY the story of KARL ROVE _using_ the DOJ to MALICIOUSLY PROSECUTE and CONVICT Democratic office-holders, of which the DON SIEGELMAN prosecution (Mr. Siegelman was only the most infamous.

That is, "DEMOCRAT" JANE HARMAN, by AIDING the Republican re-election campaign in 2004, ENABLED the Republican BROWN-SHIRT JIHAD MALICIOUS PROSECUTIONS, against other DEMOCRATIC Party office holders, in the years since that election!!
(And, in keeping with that TREACHERY, the AIPAC and GOLDMAN-SACHS dominated OBAMA administration, PRETENDS NOT TO NOTICE, as well.)

In this case, if the EXPANSION of US wars in Mideast and even WITHIN the borders of the former Soviet Union are TEMPORARILY on hold because of the American public's REJECTION of the Republican STRANGLEHOLD on Congress, the Senate, and the White House (and the vast majority of the US judiciary, corporate America, and state and local governments) in the 2006 and 2008 elections - then there is ALWAYS the CIA RUNNING COVERT WARS, BEYOND the view of Congress, which is, even "Democratic" Party control of congress not-with-standing, STILL, ALSO controlled by the Israel Likudnik War-Lobby!)

(note: Even the nominally "opposition" "CHANGE!" candidate Barack Obama White House is now, and was IMMEDIATELY, DOMINATED by the AIPAC neo-cons, in the person of _Chief of Staff_ RAHM EMANUEL and the Obama Goldman-Sachs dominated financial/"economics" team, among others, including AIPAC- & banking-friendly VP former Senator from-the-credit-card-state Joe Biden.)

Under the stewardship of Fred Hiatt, the editorial and op-ed pages of the Washington Post have gradually moved to the right. Post editorials and op-eds have defended the decision to go to war in Iraq; opposed any improvement in bilateral relations with Russia; refused to acknowledge Israel’s misuse of military power in the Middle East; and lobbied against the need for investigation of the detention and interrogation programs of the Bush administration.

As part of the campaign to prevent a rigorous examination of “enhanced interrogation techniques” (read: “torture and abuse”), the Washington Post's editorial pages have been particularly protective of the Central Intelligence Agency and its senior leaders--the ideological drivers for torture and extraordinary renditions policies. These CIA leaders, particularly deputy director Steven Kappes and acting general counsel John Rizzo, are not trying to protect the reputation and mission of the CIA; they are trying to protect themselves....

Shane Murphy, second-in-command aboard the ship seized by Somali pirates this month, is happy to be home. But he's not happy to be sharing turf with land-lubber Rush Limbaugh, who politicized the pirate affair by referring to the pirates as "black teenagers."

"It feels great to be home," said Murphy in an interview with WCBV in Boston. "It feels like everyone around here has my back, with the exception of Rush Limbaugh, who is trying to make this into a race issue...that's disgusting."

Limbaugh made the remark to suggest why President obama might have appeared preoccupied at church on the day of the operation to rescue the ship's captain, who was taken hostage by the pirates until Navy SEAL snipers shot them in a daring rescue effort.

"He was worried about the order he had given to wipe out three teenagers on the high seas," Limbaugh said. "Black Muslim teenagers."

"You gotta get with us or against us here, Rush," Murphy said. "The president did the right thing...It's a war.... It's about good versus evil. And what you said is evil. It's hate speech. I won't tolerate it."

The Sulzberger-owned NEW YORK TIMES does it AGAIN: Headlines " Senate Leaders Opposes Interrogation Inquiry Panel" to DOWNPLAY _TORTURE_ investigation

There they go again!

HERE is how the NEW YORK Lying SLIMES, and the COWARDLY, lying Washington Post (both at the apex of the American press/media industry) use their clout and domination of the press, to DOWNPLAY any and all issues that reflect badly on their AUTHORITARIAN, pro-war, pro- big government, pro- Big Business, pro- CORRUPT FINANCE, PRO-TORTURE agenda.

In this case the NYT headline reads "Senate Leaders Opposes Interrogation Inquiry Panel."

Not only does the bad grammar indicate that the Times editors & publisher consider this story - and this issue - to be a THROW-AWAY story (it should of course read "Senate Leaders OPPOSE" not "opposes") but so too does the Times' posting of the story at their "TheCAUCUS.blogs.nyTimes.com" web address, instead of at their NYTimes.com main web address.

And, most importantly, the Times uses its FAVORITE New York/Washington DC bureaucratic, institutional news-speak "INTERROGATION INQUIRY PANEL" to mean "TORTURE and CRIMES Investigation" !!

The net affect, of course, is that were a reader to actually to glance at a news-stand front-page of such a BLAND and MISLEADING headline, they would have almost NO idea that such a headline would really mean:
"SENATE LEADERS _OPPOSE_ TORTURE INVESTIGATION" !!

..that BOTH cowering "Democrat" and Republican "leaders" support a TORTURE, CRIMES, & KANGAROO-courts WHITEWASH of the MURDERS of prisoners, in US custody, during serial TORTURE sessions at America's far-flung Torture (prisons) gulag - in some cases, with LIVE VIDEO FEEDS being piped in to Cheney & Bush's basement TORTURE DUNGEON (underground situation room) at the White House!
BUSH and Cheney WERE WATCHING LIVE VIDEO FEEDS of TORTURE SESSIONS - with US "interrogators" - TORTURERS! - FOLLOWING the "advice" and orders of Bush & Cheney to repeat or perform certain "interrogation tactics" - yet today, the Congress & Right-Wing press pretend that FEMALE PRIVATES who were CONVICTED in KANGAROO "abuse" courts, should bear ALL the blame, for Bush & Cheney's and John Yoo's and Don Rumsfeld's and PAUL WOLFOWITZ's TORTURE ORDERS !!
(Not only did BUSH and Cheney PERSONALLY view LIVE TORTURE FEEDS in their "secret" White House dungeon, but PAUL WOLFOWITZ _personally_ visited ABU GHRAIB PRISON just 2 or 3 weeks before the infamous TORTURE PHOTOS came out - and he was there PRECISELY to look in to the "effectiveness" of the so-called "GUANTANAMO TECHNIQUES" that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld had SPECIFICALLY sent to Abu Ghraib, i.e. the onset of America's TORTURE REGIME at Abu Ghraib prison, of which the steady & systematic ABUSE practices that PRIVATES and non-commissioned officers (such as Srgt. Grannor) were later CONVICTED of, were merely a PRELUDE to the REAL TORTURE SESSIONS at the "SECRET" INTEL-WING of the Prison - INSPECTING THAT _TORTURE REGIMEN_ was PRECISELY the reason Paul Wolfowitz VISITED ABU GHRAIB PRISON on his inspection tour in 2003!

-------------------------------------
It is an EXACT, VERBATIM repeat of Germany's standard WWII Goebbels' Nazi wartime propaganda tactic, "TERRORISTS SHOT WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE" to mean "Our SS Liquidation troops surrounded and exterminated a village of racial inferiors & terrorists who oppose the Reich."

Senate Democratic leaders, joining forces with the Obama White House, said they would resist efforts by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other prominent Democrats to create a special commission to investigate the harsh interrogation methods that the Bush administration approved for terrorism suspects.

At a meeting of top Democrats at the White House Wednesday night, President Obama told Congressional leaders that he did not want a special inquiry, which he said would potentially steal time and energy from.....
[and put his NEO-CON AIPAC WAR SUPPORTERS - like RAHM EMANUEL and JOE LIEBERMAN and the ENTIRE Goldman-Sachs lobby - on the Spot, were it ever revealed just how CENTRAL to the Bush-Cheney TORTURE regime, was PAUL WOLFOWITZ's CONTROL over the uniformed military, when Wolfowitz DOMINATED the US Military as Don Rumsfeld's #2, Deputy Secretary of Defense, during the US Invasion of Iraq, and immediate post-invasion set-up of US prisons & that military/CIA/contractor/"intel" TORTURE REGIME."]
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/23/senate-leaders-opposes-interrogation-inquiry-panel/

This article, this issue, and this NYT/WashPost line of "reporting" illustrates that the NEO-CON BIG FINANCE & WAR LOBBY _STILL_ OWNS Washington DC... INCLUDING the BARACK OBAMA administration, despite Mr. Obama having spent TWO FULL YEARS convincing American voters that he was OPPOSED to the WAR-LOBBY, and NOT owned by the Big Finance lobby.

Bonus (retch): Mr. Obama also shows his PRO-SLAVERY Neo-Confederate/Neo-Con POLICE STATE stripes:

[i.e. Wants to LIMIT a Defendant's Rights AGAINST Self-incrimination, and to LIMIT a Defendant's Rights to have Legal Counsel Present during Police Interrogations.]
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overrule long-standing law that stops police from initiating questions unless a defendant's lawyer is present, another stark example of the White House seeking to limit rather than expand rights.

Yet again, Mr. Obama is a CARICATURE - a WHOLLY OWNED puppet or front-man of the PNAC bankers & warmongers "War-on-Terror", EXPANDING US WARS IN MIDEAST, GESTAPO POLICE-STATE POWERS lobby.

NY Times / Boston Globe columnist JEFF JACOBY... PIMPS TORTURE, defends Bush Administration

David Swanson and ConsortiumNews.com add YET ANOTHER NEW YORK TIMES addition to our hall of "news" INFAMY & "journalistic" TREACHERY:

... Boston Globe (wholly owned by Arthur Sulzberger's New York Times) - caught DEFENDING the Bush administration's rationals for torture.
WHERE? Was Mr. Jacoby and HIS SUPPORT FOR TORRTURE when the Bush administration, and the PAUL WOLFWOWITZ dominated Department of Defense, ran those cowardly, Stalinesque, Naziesque KANGAROO COURT _SHOW TRIALS_ for FEMALE PRIVATES accused ONLY of "abuse" (Sabrina Samson, Lyndie England, a few of the low-level NCOs & sergeants above them)- WHILE Pres. Bush & Vice President Cheney OPENLY BRAGGED ABOUT and asserted their "RIGHT" to TORTURE PRISONERS, TO DEATH, at THEIR sole discretion, with NO OVERSIGHT to anyone?

ConsortiumNews.com's "editor's note" to David Swanson's article captures the journalistic treachery of Jacoby's Boston Globe commentary better than anything we can write:
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2009/042309a.html
Editor’s Note: One of the more annoying traits of modern American columnists is their proclivity to thunder about human rights abuses by leaders who lack much power – think Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez – while finding clever excuses to sympathize with what American leaders do, particularly powerful Republican ones.

Now, from that school of careerist punditry comes the Boston Globe’s Jeff Jacoby standing up for the Bush administration over its torture memos and lambasting President Bush’s critics, as David Swanson notes in this guest essay:
David Swanson's column,
"Torture-DEFENDING Pundits"
By David Swanson
April 23, 2009
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2009/042309a.html

While much of elite U.S. punditry is backing away from torture, Jeff Jacoby is claiming to have opposed it but to now find it excusable.
His Boston Globe column takes a very "balanced" approach. He both opposes torture under all circumstances AND excuses it given the current circumstances...

New York Times PIMPING for CREDIT CARD EXTORTIONISTS again: Portrays anti-credit abuse effort by Big Banks as "Banks Sway Bills to Help Consumers" !

This is a TEXTBOOK example of the AUTHORITARIAN, MISLEADING, DECEIVING, insider, INSTITUTIONAL headlines that the WHORE New York Times & COWARDLY Washington Post LOVE to use; when the object of their headlines is to INTENTIONALLY BORE and CONFUSE readers into NOT paying close attention to the story.

WHAT THE HELL does THAT mean??

Oh - it means "THE BIG BANKS are FEROCIOUSLY LOBBYING their GREEDY, DONATION-SUCKING WHORES in Congress, to CASTRATE any restraint of CREDIT CARD ABUSE bill, before it even gets written"!

We repeat for the n'th time: If these LYING editors and publishers aren't indicted and prosecuted for CRIMINAL DEFRAUDING and INTENTIONALLY DECEIVING their American public readers (by intense public pressure), then the STUPID American public DESERVES to be RIPPED OFF by LOAN SHARK big banks & their serial, outrageous, extortionate credit-card abuses and BILLIONS upon HUNDREDS-of-billions of dollars of _taxpayer_ BAILOUTS for those failed banks, while working-stiff Americans are foreclosed upon, evicted,lose their jobs, pensions, health-care, benefits, investments, and run out of their unemployment benefits... with NO assistance what-so-ever.

The banks have made it difficult for Congressional Democrats and the White House to [help upside-down mortgage holders] and to _prevent_ CREDIT CARD COMPANIES from IMPOSING HIGHER FEES and INTEREST rates. [!!!]

Having won some early skirmishes by teaming with Republican allies, the [BAILED-OUT, TAXPAYER-SUBSIDIZED BIG-] BANKS NOW APPEAR to have THE UPPER HAND and may wind up KILLING — or at least substantially diluting — both PRO-CONSUMER MEASURES. >

New York Slimes CAUGHT in FRAUDULENT REPORTING... trying to help GOLDMAN SACHS _DEFRAUD_ investors!

Just to highlight out previous post - that the PULITZER PRIZE committee is COMPLICIT in the GARBAGE "reporting" that is being shoved down American 'news' consumers throats by the LYING, TREACHEROUS corporate media - along comes Arianna Huffington herself, of her own HuffingtonPost.com, outlining how the NEW YORK TIMES is __FULLY COMPLICIT__ in MISLEADING THEIR READERS about Goldman-Sachs' alleged "PROFITS" so thoroughly, that it can ONLY be concluded that the TIMES PUBLISHER ("arthur the chronic LIAR sulzberger"), EDITORS, and writers are INTENTIONALLY LYING to Times readers:
My Late Night Visits from the Ghosts of Financial Outrages Past, Present, and Future
by Arianna Huffington
Posted April 20, 2009
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/my-late-night-visits-from_b_189275.html
...In its report on the first quarter of 2009, Goldman CLAIMED A PROFIT of $1.8 billion. How did the banking giant do it? By MAGICALLY MAKING DECEMBER DISAPPEAR. In September, as the financial crisis worsened and pressure from the Fed mounted, Goldman SWITCHED from being an investment bank to a traditional bank holding company. As part of that, it had to change its fiscal year -- it used to end in November, now it ends at the close of the calendar year. THAT MEANT GOLDMAN's LATEST REPORT DIDN'T INCLUDE DECEMBER -- A MONTH IN WHICH THE BANK __LOST__ MORE THAN #1 BILLION. As reported by Floyd Norris, this billion-dollar tidbit WAS NOT MENTIONED in the text of the company's press release about its "profitable" first quarter -- it was BURIED deep inside the tables that accompanied the release.

The PRESS COVERAGE of the stunning turnaround was NOT much more edifying. For example, it was NOT noted until the _12th PARAGRAPH__ of the first New York Times story on Goldman's "profits" (on the jump page) that the bank had "also reported a loss of $1 billion in the month of December." A pretty relevant piece of information -- if you made it that far. The headline on the story read "Goldman Posts Profit and Plans Share Sale." No questioning, no shading. Just the facts -- as Goldman wanted them presented.

And the bank had good reason for promoting such a sunny (albeit completely manufactured) take. When you're readying to do a share sale, it helps to have the share price up, which is easier to pull off when you're able to hide $1 billion in losses.

Our thanks to Arianna - THE NEW YORK GODDAMNED LYING TIMES, CAUGHT IN THE ACT, of PIMPING fellow New York "establishment" institution GOLDMAN-SACHS FALSE and ILLUSORY PROFITS, WITH THE INTENTION of DEFRAUDING POTENTIAL investors. In the old days, they would hang those caught stealing horses. Today, the NEW YORK TIMES' & GOLDMAN SACHS's BLATANTLY FRAUDULENT "reporting" and "financial accounting," makes even confirmed death-penalty opponents consider the positive side of summary justice.

And PULITZER PRIZE COMMITTEE?
CONGRATULATIONS on turning your award into a WHITEWASH RUBBER-STAMP for ATROCIOUS, CONSUMER- & TAXPAYER DEFRAUDING "reporting".

Pulitzer Prize, in awarding 5 Pulitzers to New York Times, CONTRIBUTES to the DEGENERATION of US press-media....

It is easy to demonstrate JUST HOW IN-CAHOOTS - COMPLICIT WITH CORRUPTION - the PULITZER Prize AWARDING COMMITTEE IS:

QUCK! Detail EXACTLY how much the US TAXPAYER __"BAILOUTS"__ of FAILED, BANKRUPT BANKS - have been over the past 12 months ?!

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to assign a SINGLE, realistic number to the size of the US TAXPAYER ("socialized"!) BAILOUTS of FAILED, BANKRUPT, and almost certainly FRAUDULENT US big banks...

****** ...BECAUSE the NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, & other "major" corporate media "news" Organizations are "IN" on the LOOTING of the American public treasury, savings, investments, jobs, wages, and benefits; and DO NOT WANT American taxpayers, citizens, & 'news' readers TO KNOW what the REAL cost of those taxpayer-funded government bailouts have been! *******

THE PULITZER PRIZE CREW is PART of this CORPORATE, BACK-SCRATCHING, propaganda corruption world: SOMEONE PAYS THEM to hand out awards to "news" organizations, 'news' organizations that DO NOT report THE MOST VITAL and important news in America.


The PULITZER PRIZE team, like the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, AOL-Time-Warner, and other media organizations, have JOINED the RUPERT MURDOCH, SUN YUNG MOON, Richard Mellon Scaife (et al) RADICAL RIGHT-WING JIHAD on REAL news content - and informed readers - in America.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/21/business/media/21pulitzer.html

Is there ANY difference, between the Washington Post, NY Times, Murdoch (Fox, Wall St. Journal, NY Post, etc.) Moon (Washington Times), and other media barons WHITEWASHING the SERIAL LIES and FRAUD behind America's ECONOMIC CRISIS, and Germany's NAZI papers under Joseph Goebbels WHITEWASHING the Nazi SLAVE & DEATH CAMPS during WWII?

NO- there is NO difference. Indeed, with Germany in a FULL-BLOWN war (not America's "let's go shopping" off-the-front-pages "War on Terror" invasion of Mideast countries) - Goebbels & crew had a MORE LEGITIMATE excuse for NOT reporting the (real) news, than today's US corporate media whores & serial liars do.

(Indeed, the Pulitzer committee awarded one of their prizes to the NY Slimes "INVESTIGATION" of then NY Governor ELIOT SPITZER's affairs with prostitutes... a level of "INVESTIGATION" that is NOTABLY ABSENT from the Times' coverage of BAILOUTS and massive bailouts fraud.
Like other "muckracking," "Yellow-journalism" institutions of old, the PULITZER COMMITTEE shows that it prefers SALACIOUS SCANDAL REPORTING, to investigating the DESTRUCTION of TRILLIONS of dollars of American taxpayer, investor, pensions, & workers' wages, salaries, benefits, investments, & savings over the past few years.)

Yglesias catches CHRIS MATHEWS' 'JOURNALISTIC' INCOMPETENCE... Mathews GIVES Tom DeLay a FREE PASS for his lies about Texas' economic status....

Hat-tip to Yglesias for catching & posting(and DeLong for pointing out) former Republican Dictator-of-the-House Tom DeLay (former Republican Majority Whip of the US Congress, but actually the iron-fisted Republican "Hammer" ruler of that Congress) making his radical Right-Wing case that because "TEXAS WORKS HARDER" than other states (especially urban, northern, liberal-dominated "Blue states") it is "RICHER" than them.

OF COURSE _CHRIS MATHEWS_ gave a FREE PASS to all of DeLay's nonsensical economic claims... it was ALL the hapless Mathews could do to try to poke holes in DeLay's (and fellow Texas Republican, and current Texas GOVERNOR, RICK PERRY's) notions that TEXAS has STILL got a right to SECEDE from the United States!

American Right-Wingers - of exactly the sort that populate the Texas Right-Wing Republican Party - still assert an American "VETO" 'right' to CONDEMN, UNDERMINE, and DESTROY sovereign governments in South America - (CIA ATTEMPTED COUPS & SECESSION EFFORTS against (respectively) VENEZUELA and BOLIVIA come to mind) - but they will also assert THEIR 'right' to SECEDE from the UNITED STATES!
Presumably (like the dissolution of the former Soviet Union) TAKING THEIR US NUCLEAR WARHEADS (stored on Texas military bases) WITH THEM ???!

Well, I suppose we have to give Mathews at least SOME credit for at least POKING FUN at DeLay's (and Perry's) SECESSIONIST talk...

...but clearly, EXPECTING Chris Mathews to actually know WHICH US STATES are NET FEDERAL TAX-DOLLAR RECIPIENTS (the majority of which are "RED" states, i.e. rural, conservative states are most likely to be "Welfare Queens"!) - much less by how much - is just a bridge-to-far for the "media commentator" who got his big break shilling "MONICA, MONICA! MONICA!!!" 24-7 for months at a time back in 1998.

============================================
Delay Claims Poorer-than-Average Texas is “Wealthy” Because Texans “Work Hard”

A few bloggers have noted that Tom DeLay went on a strange neo-secessionist binge yesterday on Hardball with Chris Matthews. This segment of the interview in which he lays out his substantive rationale has gotten less attention. But DeLay’s conceit is that Texas is a “wealthy state” because of it’s right-wing business-friendly policies, a situation that he specifically contrasts with the environment in California, New York, and New Jersey which have allegedly impoverished themselves with high taxes and overregulation....

One problem here is that Texas isn’t a wealthy state. Its median household income of $47,548 made it 28th in the country. Below average, in other words. New Jersey is second, California is eighth, and New York is nineteenth. Indeed, of the top ten states in per capita income nine are “blue” states."

Washington WHORE Post LYING Neo-Con THIEVING editors pimp... NAFTA and GUTTING Social Security. Because BEING LYING THIEVES, is what Post editors do

A TWO-FER of WASHINGTON whore POST LYING articles, in one day!
Make that a "THREE-FER", because below we detail TWO SEPARATE instances of the Post editors LYING to their STUPID, CLUELESS, DELUDED, MISINFORMED readers.

As we have said before, CATCHING the WASHINGTON whore POST (& New York neo-con Lying Times) BEING ABJECT LIARS, is as easy as SHOOTING FISH in a barrel.
However, "easy" as it may be, IT IS A BIG JOB... and, like trying to clean out a cesspit by bucket, the TOXIC FUMES MAY KILL YOU before you ever get to the bottom of their s*** "reporting."

In this case, DEAN BAKER gives us a DOUBLE: He reports on the LYING Post editors' use of LYING statistics, AND he also reports on the LYING Post editors' JIHAD vs SOCIAL SECURITY.

the WHORE Posts' LYING WHORE editors LIE about Mexico's economic growth... as a means to PIMP NAFTA, which is really a means to DEVALUE the cost (wages) of American workers. GO TO HELL, YOU LYING, THIEVING NEO-CON S.O.B's!!
http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/beat_the_press_archive?month=04&year=2009&base_name=will_face_growing_mexicos_econ

In a similar vein, Mr. Dean Bakers CATCHES the LYING, THIEVING, NEO-CON WARMONGERING & WAR-CRIMES WHITEWASHING Washington WHORE Post editors JIHAD against... SOCIAL SECURITY:

The Washington Post Jihad on Social Security Continueshttp://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/beat_the_press_archive?month=04&year=2009&base_name=the_washington_post_jihad_on_s
It's true that older workers and retirees have just lost $15 trillion in the collapse of the housing bubble and the stock market plunge, but that is no reason not to cut their Social Security, according to the Washington Post. After all, some of them still have enough money for food.

WHY do the ENTITLED editors of the WASHINGTON POST _despise_ GOOD WAGES for American workers, and continue their JIHAD against SOCIAL SECURITY, when their BIG BANKING FRIENDS at Goldamn-Sachs, JPMorgan-Chase, Citi, Bank-of-America, NY-Mellon, AIG, and other big financial companies have nearly WRECKED the American economy after nearly TWO DECADES of "DEREGULATION" Folly ??

answer: BECAUSE the WASHINGTON POST editors & publisher are TREACHEROUS, THIEVING, ENTITLED, ARROGANT LYING Neo-Con swine, and they would LOVE to be able to turn WASHINGTON D.C. BACK into a SLAVE city, if they could just help the Neo-Cons and Neo-Confederate Right-Wing authoritarians mask over their (combined) DESTRUCTION of the US Economy.

Washington Post WHORE 'reporter' HOWIE KURTZ is "Shocked! SHOCKED!" to Find FOX 'news' pimping HATE GOVERNMENT 'Teabag protests' !

The Southern, racist, Bigoted Wing of the Republican Party - what author Michael Lind calls the "Neo-CONFEDERATE" agenda -
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-29/the-south-rises-again/
is upset and dismayed (and frankly, HATEFUL) that they are OUT OF POWER in Washington... while their FORMER ALLIES - the AIPAC, NEO-CON LIKUDNIK wing of that identical "more wars, police-state-powers, and TAX-CUTS FOR RICH" Right-Wing agenda (i.e. "the Wall Street Money Party") is not only STILL in power on the "Democrat" side of the isle... but indeed RULES THE ROOST!

President Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, could be conversing daily with Israel's MOSSAD and Defense Department for all we know; and Obama's two top "economics advisors" - Robert Rubins & Lawrence Summers - are straight out of Goldman-Sachs Neo-Con "pump & dump" "Short Squeeze" Banksters... (Rubin a former Goldman-Sachs CHAIRMAN... as was Bush's Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson)
...so not only are the Neo-Confederate Southern Republicans OUT of power and STEWING in ignominy at the moment, but their former, erstwhile Goldman-Sachs/AIPAC/Neo-Con Lukidnik "partners" are now FIRMLY ENSCONCED in BOTH the White House, AND Congress, AND "Democrat" Senate!

What is a poor Neo-Confed bigot & Dem-hater to do, but.. RUN TO FOX "news," and URGE the Confederate Militia to bring their guns, bayonets, & pitchforks to Washington, to STAGE A REBELLION! er, "Tea Party REVOLUTION!"

All of which makes uber-Washington Post NEO-CON LYING WHORE Howard "Howie" Kurtz's professed "SHOCK!" that Fox 'news' is BLATANTLY playing to the neo-Confederate BIGOTS and RACIST and HATE agenda so damn hilarious.

MR. KURTZ was ALL FOR that agenda of HATE and SUPPRESSED VOTES and SCORN for Democrat and "liberal" voters in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 (and Al Franken's being seated as Minnesota Senator as we speak)...
...He, Mr. Kurtz, has been "IN" on "LOOT THE PEONS to ENRICH THE WEALTHY" agenda of the past 8 years (i.e. TAX CUTS FOR RICH.. in time of EXPANDING WARS, _and_ huge INTEREST payments to be paid on the trillions of dollars BUSH DEFICITS as well) -
....he, Mr. Kurtz, has been "IN" on the WASHINGTON POST WHITEWASH of ALL of CHENEY and BUSH and MUKASEY's and GONZALES' and CHERTOFF's and "Heckuva Job, Brownie" (Michael Brown's) and Scooter LIBBY's and Paul WOLFOWITZ's _SERIAL CRIMES AND LIES_ these past 8 years... (sigh? do we HAVE to LIST them again?)

...But Mr. Kurtz is "SHOCKED! SHOCKED!" that Murdoch's FOX 'news' instigated TEA PROTESTERS would express hate and resentment over BAILOUTS FOR GOLDMAN-SACHS BANKSTERS, who now, would ya know it? RUN the OBAMA WHITE HOUSE _and_ PELOSI CONGRESS, TOO !!

Howard Kurtz Shocked By Fox News Tea Party Promotion

<< It's nice to know that at some point, you can cross a line with Washington [WHORE] Post media critic Howard Kurtz... [but] I have no idea why Kurtz is pretending that a sincere non-sponsorship of these Tea Party activities on the part of the Fox News Channel was in play. Fox billed yesterday's events on teevee as "FNC Tax Day Tea Parties." They ran seventy-three promotions on the Tea Parties in the eight days leading up to them. Their hosts were plugged in to the public address system, encouraging the protesters. For a guy so quick to discern examples of "Obama adulation," it seems bizarre that Kurtz cannot seem to figure out something so plainly obvious. >>
We here at MediaWHORESusa are, sadly, easily prepared to answer that rhetorical question: BECAUSE HOWARD KURTZ is a PROTO-TYPICAL Washington Post NEO-CON LYING WHORE, EVEYTHING he writes is designed to BUILD UP the NEO-CON, AIPAC/Likudnik STRANGLEHOLD on American business, media, politics, and war-policy, and when the WOLFOWITZ-KRISTOL-SAFIRE-SULZBERGER-FRIEDMAN-KRAUTHAMMER-POHDERETZ (et al, ad naseum) Neo-Con PNAC ALLIANCE with the Radical Right-Wing Neo-Confederates BREAKS DOWN - because BUSH & CHENEY & DeLAY and GINGRICH & LOTT and FRIST & THURMOND & HELMS are no longer in power - Mr. Kurtz reverts to his "I'm SO INNOCENT" act!

(note: Helms & Thurmond are out of power because they have both since passed away; but they were, beyond dispute, blatant NEO-CONFEDERATES, and ALLIES with the rest of their crowd, who were THE CORE of Bush & Cheney's 8-year STRANGLEHOLD on the US government following the 9-11 attacks (WHICH DICK CHENEY ROLLED OUT THE RED CARPET for), and NOT EVEN HOWARD KURTZ or the WHORE Post would try to pretend that THURMOND and HELMS were not OLD-SCHOOL, Neo-Confederate, White Supremacists - the very people the WHORE POST was ALLIED WITH all during the rise of DICK CHENEY and the PNAC/NEO-CON WARS in Iraq & Afghanistan.)

(Well, yeah... we're wrong.... During the ASCENSION of the WOLFOWITZ/KRISTOL/KAGAN/LIEBERMAN/PODHORETZ/EMANUEL/SCHUMER/FEINSTEIN/Mukasey/Bolton/Chertoff/Libby et al NEO-CON LIKUDNIK WAR-PARTY and their "MORE US WARS IN MIDEAST! agenda, the Washington Post DID try to WHITEWASH Strom Thurmond's and Jesse Helm's _BARELY DISGUSTED_ bigoted, White Supremacy, abortion-is-murder, Timmy McVeigh-lite agenda!)

Washington WHORE Post "reporter" caught giving FELATIO to George W. Bush

Oh, Washington Post: How sad, pathetic, TREASONOUS, and TREACHEROUS thou are.

NOT ONLY do the Post's WHORE editors assign their WHORE reporters to LIE and CHEAT and DECIEVE on behalf of the Neo-Con/neo-Confederate agenda (more wars now, Gestapo police-state powers, tax-cuts for rich in time of expanding wars & deficits, DEREGULATION of ENTIRE SWATHS of US financial economy, a relentless, sustained JIHAD against high wages, benefits, public education, and affordable health-care, etc.) but when Mr. Bush blatantly says "it would be alot better if this were a DICTATORSHIP" - and repeats that theme saying "I'm going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there's an _authoritarian_ voice saying exactly what happened" the WHORE POST PRETENDS not to notice.
(In this case, Bush probably meant "authoritative", but he is indeed a dictatorial, no-oversight authoritarian on issue after issue after issue after issue, and the WHORE Washington Post PRETENDS not to notice.)

Jackson Williams of HuffingtonPost.com catches the Post at their disgusting, pathetic, treacherous REAL job: WHITEWASHING and CHEERLEADING that "AUTHORITARIAN" agenda, in this case trying to help Mr. Bush WHITEWASH the past 8 years:

Caught in the Act: The Washington Post Swallows Bush's Latest Spin
The WASHINGTON POST is HELPING George Bush polish his flaccid legacy.
Let's hope it's just a sympathetic one-off between ex-lovers.
Last Saturday, they ran a front page article on Bush-in-retirement. Woven into the puff piece was this seemingly bland statement (italics mine):
< Now he will try to explain his two terms by writing a book and building a presidential center at Dallas's Southern Methodist University so that history will have the means to judge him fairly. >
Do you catch that? The Post's reporter, Eli Saslow, is telling us it's imperative that we have Bush's tome -- and Taj Mahal -- to fully assess the past eight years. Where does this view come from?
The sentence isn't attributed; it's presented as fact, not opinion.

The bottom line is that the Post has bought the con job from the "commander guy." He insists history needs his opus to nail the real story, and the newspaper [the WHORE Post] has turned this shaky proposition into accepted wisdom.
It's really his spin, nothing more.
(Mr. Williams goes on to explain that Americans have been able to judge PRESIDENT LINCOLN's legacy, WITHOUT Lincoln writing a post-presidential autobiography or setting up a presidential library, etc.)

In England newspapers LEAD the protest against elected officials' GRAFT, CORRUPTION, and abuse of powers....

In England, newspapers LEAD the protest against elected officials' GRAFT, CORRUPTION, and abuse of powers.... whereas in America, even the "liberal" (not!) New York Times & Washington Post - ESPECIALLY the NY SLIMES and Washington WHORE Post - LEAD the Goebbels-esque effort to DISTORT the 'news,' MISINFORM citizens, MISLEAD voters, DUMB-DOWN consumers, & DECEIVE taxpayers - and in general do EVERYTHING THEY CAN to FOIST an agenda of MEDIEVAL FEUDAL RULE on dumbed-down Americans.
Items #1 & #2 in that INTENTIONAL LYING of the US corporate media, & Washington COWARDLY Post & New York LYING Times in particular is, of course, that
#1. not only do they REFUSE to report on the FULL EXTENT of the big-bank BAILOUTS thus far - whether those bailouts are 'just' the THREE TRILLION DOLLARS we have summarized here before, of the TWELVE TRILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS that David Sirota mentions Bloomberg reporting... but,
#2. STUPID AMERICAN led-by-nose, like-cattle, consumers, citizens, & Taxpayers DO NO GET a SINGLE, _NOT ONE lousy AUDIT_, of NOT ONE FAILED BANK, for all our HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of TAXPAYER dollar BAILOUTS, of the VERY BANKS & HEDGE FUNDS, who would help the oil-men CORNER THE MARKET on US gasoline production if they could, so they could charge us $5/gallon gas prices..... TWICE what it cost refiners & gas stations to sell that gallon of gas - back at the onset of this Economic Crisis, the moment the Bankster's HEDGE-FUND SPECULATIONS and insanely greedy, divorced-from-reality DERIVATIVE "financial instruments" finally burst!

THE NEW YORK TIMES and WASHINGTON NEO-CON WAR-MONGERING POST are at the ROOT of America's Economic Crisis - TRILLIONS of dollars of investor, worker, pensioner, and taxpayer dollars VANISHED into the ether - and their EVERY DAY's "reporting" is testimony to just how AWFUL, DISTORTED, MISINFORMATIVE, CORRUPT, and TREACHEROUS the editors, publishers, and writers of the Post & Times really are.


As an actual here-and-now, concrete example, note how the NEW YORK SLIMES implies that "top bankers" & "TOP TALENT" are leaving the banks just a step ahead of (hiss!) ONEROUS "regulations" -
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/business/12wall.html
< Top bankers have been leaving Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and others in rising numbers to join banks that DO NOT FACE TIGHTER REGULATION, including foreign banks, or start-up companies eager to build themselves into tomorrow’s financial powerhouses. Others are leaving because of culture clashes at merging companies, like Bank of America and Merrill Lynch, and still others are simply retiring early. >
"ONEROUS REGULATIONS" of course are a FAVORITE RIGHT-WING THEME, that, among other things, led DIRECTLY to TIMMMY McVEIGH's MURDEROUS DOMESTIC TERRORISM. One of the just 2 or 3 excuses McVeigh gave for bombing the Oklahoma City Govt. building was that "liberal & Democrat "EXCESSIVE REGULATIONS" had wrecked the Economy during the Bush-1 Recession... along with the other perennial Right-Wing demon, "TAX & SPEND BIG GOVERNMENT" - WHICH of course the NEW YORK SLIMES _FAVORS_, when the Government is HANDING OUT BETWEEN three TRILLION and _THIRTEEN TRILLION taxpayer dollars_ to BAIL OUT THEIR home-boy NEW YORK BANKSTER-Gangsters like BERNIE MADOFF victims, GOLDMAN-SACHS, and CITI bank!!
(note: McVeigh's 3rd major excuse for launching America's deadliest home-grown TERROR ATTACK since the Civil War, was as revenge or retribution for the US government FBI & ATF siege of the wacky, gun-obsessed "Fundamentalist Christ-ian" cult of David Koresh outside of Wacko, Texas, after the ATF, in early 1993 under plans drawn up while Bush Sr. had been president in 1992, attempted to ARREST CULT MEMBERS AT THEIR fortress compound, instead of arresting them when they came in to town! - triggering a machine-gun battle between the Feds & cult-members that killed several of the poorly led ATF agents.)
Note too how Times writers GRAHAM BOWLEY and LOUISE STORY spin this "bankers leaving big NY banks" story in the MOST FAVORABLE spin possible, even using the (Jewish) RELIGIOUS TERM, "EXODUS" for those poor, starving Banksters forced to flee their jobs without even having time to fix a grilled-cheese sandwich:
< There is an air of exodus on Wall Street — and not just among those being fired. As Washington cracks down on compensation and tightens regulation of banks, a brain drain is occurring at some of the biggest ones. They are some of the same banks blamed for setting off the worst downturn since the Depression. >
NOWHERE do the Times editors, or writers Story or Bowley, make an effort to point out that not only were the banks that "some of the same banks blamed for setting off the worst downturn since the Depression" - but they are ALSO BANKS that WOULD BE IN BANKRUPTCY but not for the Bush-PELOSI-PAULSON _HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of TAXPAYER dollars_!!
THIS IS HYPER-TYPICAL NEW YORK TIMES and WASHINGTON POST _ENTITLED_ NY/DC ELITIST REPORTING: act ('report') as if the TRILLIONS of dollars of TAXPAYER BAILOUTS NEVER HAPPENED! The poor Banksters are leaving their jobs ONLY because of the looming threat of TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT REGULATION, and because, somewhere out there in miserable, hard-scrabble, insurgent-infested America-stan, the rabble brought a, you know, ECONOMIC CRISIS on their despicable selves !!!!!!

Nor does the Times Story & Graham bother to make the SIMPLE connection, that if some of these poor "BANKERS IN EXILE" have been working at banks like UBS that have been "TARNISHED BY THE FINANCIAL CRISIS" - then maybe, JUST MAYBE... some of those Bankers are GUILTY of MISMANAGING their banks (or departments in those banks) - sort of like RATS FLEEING A SHIP that THEY helped gnaw a hole through the hull of!
< The turning point for ____ ____ came in February, around the time bonus checks were slashed. A veteran of UBS, one of many banks TARNISHED BY THE FINANCIAL CRISIS, Mr. ____ realized that the old Wall Street would not be bouncing back any time soon. It was time to head for the new. >

Does the NEW YORK SLIMES - who FAVOR _HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of TAXPAYER BAILOUTS_ for FAILED banks - make ANY effort to suggest that these poor, downtrodden, Exodus Bankers may, just might, have had ANYTHING to do with their FAILED BANKS, and the COLLAPSE of US economy????

HELL NO!!

Could you POSSIBLY ask for a better example of the Times' real "NY BANKSTERS ARE HOLY, Taxpayers are PEONS" agenda??!

Well, SINCE Mr. Sulzberger's ATROCIOUS, DECEITFUL, CHRONICALLY LYING, CORRUPTION-ENABLING Times has completely forgotten how to stoke genuine taxpayer outrage against SERIAL ABUSE by the MONIED CLASS (and NY & DC corrupt elites_ - we wrote the above screed, and connect it to this English paper's HEADLINE LEDE of TAX REVOLT vs entitled elected officials in England..... MISUSING - not TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars - but their own government expense accounts for personal use:
How MPs Take Home 28 Times the Average Voter’s Pay

12th April 2009
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1169347/How-MPs-home-28-times-average-voter-8217-s-pay.html
More than 23,000 expenses protests delivered to No 10 [Downing Street, the equivalent of the White House for the English Prime Minister] -
Gordon Brown was under huge pressure this weekend to reform lavish Commons allowances after more than 23,000 Mail on Sunday readers demanded urgent action.
This newspaper launched its Stop The MPs’ Gravy Train petition last month,
following a string of revelations about how they have been using expenses loopholes
for personal benefit.

As we have tried to make the case, EVEN America's "JOURNALISM" schools are SERIOUSLY DEFICIENT, because POKING HOLES in NY Slimes and Washington WHORE Post reporting is ridiculously EASY, the only problem is.... when ALMOST EVERY SENTENCE the Post & Times write in important, financial-government 'reporting' is SHEER PROPAGANDA; then deconstructing their elitist, entitled, deceitful reporting is easy, except for the SHEER VOLUME of their RELENTLESS LIES!
--------------------------------------------------
To repeat for the 1,000th time, NEITHER the Post, nor the Times, will EVER EXPLAIN the TRUE EXTENT (amount thus far) TAXPAYER BAILOUTS for the FAILED, FRAUDULENT BANKING ELITES, nor will the Post & Times DEMAND RELENTLESS top-to-bottom AUDITS of those FAILED, FRAUDULENT BANKS
(FRAUD in this case a CRIME - remember, the Post & Times were CHEERLEADERS for the Bush DoJ/SEC PROSECUTION of MARTHA STEWART) - that is, the POST & TIMES are COMPLICIT in CRIMINAL FRAUD in the abuse of first CONSUMER & INVESTOR billlions, and now in the abuse of BILLIONS of TAXPAYERS dollars vanished & directed towards a huge BLACK-HOLE of GRAFT and FINANCIAL CORRUPTION.

Economic Crisis - as Obama TALKS, and GIVES MONEY to his Summers-Geithner-Emanuel BANKSTERS, UNEMPLOYMENT SOARS

NEW YORK TIMES owned Boston Globe newspaper - the NY Times a relentless CHEERLEADER (in persons of publisher Arthur Sulzberbeger & his lying neo-con Minions Wllm. Safire, Thomas Friedman, David Brooks, James Risen, Jeff Gerth, etc., etc., etc., ad naseum) for the Right-Wing "DEREGULATION" loot, plunder, pillage, & BAIL-OUT policies that LED DIRECTLY to this economic crisis - reports that at a recent Job Fair in New Hampshire, SO MANY PEOPLE TURNED OUT - over 10,000! - that traffic was backed up, and the lines of job seekers stretched for blocks.


Demand for work causes gridlock at NH job fair

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2009/04/09/nh_job_fair_attracts_more_than_10000_job_seekers/?
MANCHESTER, N.H.—Three generations of job seekers -- more than 10,000 -- descended on a job fair at a New Hampshire college gymnasium Thursday, jamming traffic for miles and forcing organizers to cut off admission to the event after just two hours.

...Thousands of unemployed wait in lines for buses to a job fair at the Mall of New Hampshire parking lot in Manchester, N.H., Thursday, April 9, 2009. New jobless claims fell more than expected last week but are stuck at elevated levels, while the number of people continuing to receive unemployment insurance approached 6 million, setting a record for the 10th straight week.

Obama's "economics guy" LAWRENCE SUMMERS at the CENTER of the Hedge-Fund DEREGULATIONS, that have made TRILLIONS of Investor & Pension dollars VANISH

As the TSUNAMI, the MOUNTAIN, the all-crushing glacier of evidence and stories points to Pres. Obama's own "economics team" as being at the VERY CORE of the TRILLIONS of dollars of investor, worker, pensioner, & taxpayer dollars that have VANISHED into the thin air over the past 3 years in the current economic crisis, former LA Times columnist _Robert Scheer_ puts it all in one nice, tidy commentary: LAWRENCE SUMMERS is indeed the HEDGE-FUND BILLIONAIRES' _point man_ for _both_ the DEREGULATION that has led DIRECTLY to world Economic Crisis 2008-2009, AND Mr. Summers is also at the center of the Bush-Paulson, and now __Obama-Geithner__, efforts, to use the Economic Crisis as AN EXCUSE to TRANSFER TRILLIONS _MORE_ TAXPAYER DOLLARS, to the VERY insanely greedy, entitled, corrupt, and Congress- & media-owning Banksters who created this economic crisis in the first place!

Mr. LAWRENCE SUMMERS, item #1. in the modern indictment for THE BANALITY OF EVIL: TRILLIONS of investor, worker, pensioner, & taxpayer dollars VANISHED into THIN AIR from uber-Right-Wing Republican PHIL GRAMM's two-decade "DEREGULATION" JIHAD... and "Democrat" (NOT!) bankster LAWRENCE SUMMERS COLLECTS his MILLIONS of dollars in pay... and now a seat at THE MOST POWERFUL "economics" position in America in the Obama "Change" (NOT!) White House - for BRINGING that very RIGHT-WING DEREGULATION NIGHTMARE to pass!!

In this same weekend's TruthDig.com, DAVID SIROTA reports: "By Bloomberg News’ account, $12.8 trillion worth of taxpayer loans, grants and guarantees" have been GIVEN TO Wall Street & the large Hedge Funds & banks since the bubble-busting Economic Crisis Mr. Summers WORKED SO HARD TO CREATE.

A nearly THIRTEEN TRILLION DOLLAR _TRANSFER OF WEALTH_ FROM working-stiff Taxpayers TO THE WEALTHY, of whom Mr. Summers is an arrogant, elitist, secretive, kleptocratic, entitled Golden-Boy icon, or text-book example.

- LAWRENCE SUMMERS at the CENTER of the FINANCIAL SWINDLES that ENRICHED the TITANS OF FINANCE while IMPOVERISHING the REST OF THE WORLD.....

By Robert Scheer

http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20090407_robert_scheer_april_8_column/

Not surprisingly, Lawrence Summers is convinced that he deserved every penny of the $8 million that Wall Street firms paid him last year. And why shouldn’t he be cut in on the loot from the loopholes in the toxic derivatives market that he pushed into law when he was Bill Clinton’s treasury secretary? No one has been more persistently effective in paving the way for the financial swindles that enriched the titans of finance while impoverishing the rest of the world than the man who is now the top economic adviser to President Obama.

CENSORED: US Air-War in Afghanistan is SLOW-BURN GENOCIDE: declare vast swaths of territory "Injun Country" and KILL ANYTHING THAT MOVES....

The US military has now taken over much of where the SOVIET MILITARY (Red Army) left off: killing Afghan civilians relentlessly & remorselessly from un-opposed US air-attacks, and now, via KILLER ROBOTS, arial hunter-drones or remotely piloted UAVs firing 4th & 5th generation missiles & "anti-personnel" munitions, which can easily incinerate or turn into rubble a family home at the push of a button.

For a brief overview on the AIR ATTACKS that were the CORE of the Soviet attempt at OCCUPATION of Afghanistan, see the scenes of Soviet helicopter attacks in the movie "Charlie Wilson's War" - and realize that today, it is AMERICAN pilots & UAV operators who now have that license to KILL ANYTHING THAT MOVES, displacing hundreds of thousands of Afghan civilians fleeing the terror from the skies.

The Matrix of Death: (Im)Precision of U.S Bombing and the (Under)Valuation of an Afghan Life
Only one dollar is officially spent in “reconstruction” for every ten dollars spent on achieving U.S. geo-political aims.
by Prof. Marc W. Herold
http://www.rawa.org/temp/runews/2008/10/06/the-imprecision-ofus-bombing-and-the-under-valuation-of-an-afghan-life.html

US/NATO bombs kill about ten times more Afghan civilians with a ton of our “precision” bombs than we killed Serbs in 1999. More than 80% of Afghan civilian deaths today caused by the US/NATO are due to close air support attacks. They (Afghans) are only worth one-tenth of an Alaskan sea otter rather than forty camels. We spend ten dollars on the military in Afghanistan to pursue our geo-strategic aims and less than $1 on reconstructing the everyday lives of Afghans devastated by thirty years of war.....

Obama, Emanuel, Geither, Summers "Economic Team" CENSOR Big-Bank "STRESS TEST" - media WHORES PRETEND NOT TO NOTICE.....

President Obama & his "economic leadership team" - Rahm Emanuel, Timmy Geither, Lawrence Summers, Robert Rubin, Gary Gensler, Mark Patterson, Neal Wolin ("investment" banksters all, et al, ad naseum)
CENSOR _their own_ much-ballyhooed Big, bailed-out Banks "STRESS TEST"!

...and OF COURSE the "major media" WHORES PRETEND NOT TO NOTICE!

...Because HELPING THE FINANCIAL ROBBER-THIEVES _STEAL_ from the American public, consumers, taxpayers, & financial customers, IS WHAT the AMERICAN MEDIA whores ARE ALL ABOUT !!

(The INSANITY of Modern America's media whoredom is such that, NOT ONLY is the American public FORBIDDEN, !VERBOTTEN! from being told that so far, in the past twelve months, they have transferred THREE TRILLION DOLLARS in "bailouts" from working-stiff taxpayers to the insanely entitled "Masters of the Universe" (FAILED banksters), and even worse (as if CENSORING THREE TRILLION DOLLARS of Taxpayer money GIVEN to the fraudulent banksters who rob American consumers at every opportunity could get any worse) - FOR our THREE TRILLION DOLLARS in TAXPAYER SOCIALIZED BAILOUTS of the Banksters who would CORNER THE OIL MARKET and charge us FIVE DOLLARS A GALLON for gasoline if they could.... we Americans are NOT entitled to a SINGLE AUDIT of the failed banks... and now the Obama "Democrat" team CENSORS even the fake, faux, FRAUDULENT "STRESS TEST" _WHITEWASH cover-up of what REAL, GENUINE AUDITS would disclose!!!)

WashPost's "moderate" ho RICHARD COHEN, provides TEXT-BOOK example of Post's "DEFEND Neo-Con ELITES" tendencies....

Well, there they go again! What is AMAZING about this EXCELLENT Buzzflash.com editor's editorial, is that Buzzflash & its editor are die-hard, 100% Obama supporters. Buzzflash written, edited, & published, in fact, in Chicago, then Senator Barack Obama's POWER-BASE, CHICAGO, Illinois; where Buzzflash writers were such unabashed Obama supporters that they went into a financial crisis of their own when Hillary Clinton's Neo-Con "Democratic" supporters stopped funding Buzzflash for a spell, as Buzz (and other "liberal" websites & columns) documented Hillary's increasingly erratic, increasingly duplicitous (lying), increasingly RACIST attacks on then Senator Obama's campaign.)
Well, Buzzflash REMAINS vocal and ardent Obama supporters today, which is what makes this editorial so amazing: Mr. Karlin detailing JUST HOW ENTITLED, CORRUPT, and SELF-SERVING Mr. Obama's Economics advisor LAWRENCE SUMMERS is, but Karlin going after WASHINGTON POST op-ed columnist RICHARD COHEN as the prime focus of this particular column!
Washington Post Columnist Richard Cohen Hearts Larry Summers: Tales of the D.C. Elite "Village People"
BUZZFLASH EDITOR'S BLOG
http://buzzflash.com/articles/node/8168

Those who frequent the progressive sites know that the term "villager" has come to describe D.C. insiders who protect each other’s privileged status.

A risible case in point is the April 7th column of veteran WASHINGTON POST 'journalist' [sic] Richard Cohen, who makes the LUDICROUS argument that hedge fund multi-millionaire and Wall Street protector Larry Summers is a victim of harsh attacks. Cohen’s main contention is that Summers is serving us at great sacrifice to his personal fortune....
Now here is Buzzflash's MASTERPIECE paragraph that gets to THE ROOT of Economic crisis 2008-2009:
"Now, given that Summers is the fox in the hen house, along with Geithner, it’s a little hard to swallow Cohen’s impassioned defense of Summers as a "public servant." After all, Summers made millions from the same people that he is now helping to give billions to, even though they screwed up the economy – and he benefited like a bandit from their greed."
We would love to post the column in full to give it its due, but Buzzflash's editors & publisher probably would not approve of the "SHRILL" tone we have here at Media Whores USA.
(And, just to repeat, KEEPING UP with the LIARS, TRAITORS, and HATE-MONGERS of the Radical Right & their "Mainstream Media" whores, is like WORKING IN A toxic, poisonous CESS-PIT and NEVER getting a break!)
Oh... speaking of "SHRILL" and "HATE-MONGERS" !! -

Today's Buzzflash.com also contains an excellent link to our other favorite (despised) theme here at MEDIA WHORES USA,
#1. the LINKS between the MEDIA WHORES and their abject, craven, lying, deceitful support for the FINANCIAL LOOTING of the entire US economy; and
#2. the LINKS between the "MAINSTREAM MEDIA" and the RADICAL-RIGHT-WING HATE-INCITING talkers and TV & print media personalities... in this case, Buzzflash providing a book review and purchase-link to an excellent book on exactly that critical topic;
The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right
http://www.buzzflash.com/store/items/1552

WILL America SURVIVE the COMPLACENCY and COMPLICITY of the "Demcorat" administration & Congress, to the RIGHT-WING FINANCIAL LOOTING of the entire US Economy, and to RIGHT-WING HATE-MONGERS trying to _BLAME_ that SERIAL FRAUD & economic destruction on the Democrats and on "liberal" programs??

Well, you could say that Vietnam "survived" the Vietnam war... or that Japan "survived" WWII and the nuclear bombing of two of its cities, and firebombing of dozens of its other cities.... the word "survived" in those cases just glossing over rivers of destruction, despair, and disaster.

Two days after we report on the NEW YORK TIMES WHITEWASH of Glen Beck, a BECK-INSPIRED gunman shoots & KILLS 3 police officers in Pittsburgh...

THE TRUE TEST of good reporting: In our previous post, on April 2nd, 2009, we CONNECTED-the-DOTS between the JEWISH owned NEO-CON (warmongers & loot-the-peons) NEW YORK TIMES _whitewash_ of Right-Wing hate-monger & (former CNN and current) FOX 'news' radio & TV host GLEN BECK, and Beck's very real, very fear-mongering & hate-mongering rhetoric...

and two days later, gunman RICHARD POPLAWSKI, WHO WAS A FAN of GLEN BECK's "The are going to take your guns!" fear-mongering rhetoric that Beck spews from his microphone daily, shot and killed three Pittsburgh police officers who were responding to a domestic complaint at the house where Poplawski was living with his grandmother.
Here is (genuine investigative reporter) Max Blumenthal, reporting at the DailyBeast.com (good reporters must write & report from obscure web-sites like the DailyBeast.com and Alternet.org, because GOOD REPORTING is CENSORED from the "major media" WHORE 'news' papers like the NEW YORK TIMES and WASHINGTON POST and CNN much less Fox 'news'), CONNECTING THE VERY SIMPLE DOT that we here at MediaWhoresUSA connected last week, that a RIGHT-WING HATE-INSPIRED GUNMAN was INSPIRED TO MURDER by.... LISTENING to GLEN BECK!!
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-04-07/what-a-killer-was-watching/full/
"The killer [Pittsburgh police-killing gunman Richard Poplawski] posted a YouTube clip to Stormfront of top-rated Fox News host Glenn Beck contemplating the existence of FEMA-managed concentration camps."


Here at MediaWHORES USA we can NOT keep up with all the ways, subtle and overt, that the NEO-CONS who DOMINATE New York Times and Washington Post PRETEND TO IGNORE the HATE-MONGERING RIGHT-WING neo-Nazi tendencies of their "MORE WAR IN MIDEAST" and "LOOT THE TREASURY" allies who provide the voting "base" or core of the Republican Party our in "Red State" rural America...

But we do know that Right-Wing HATE-MONGERS are PLAYING TO the future, would-be TIMMMY McVEIGH's out in America, and those RIGHT-WING MURDER-INCITING HATE-MONGERS INCLUDE the editors & writers of the NEW YORK TIMES and WASHINGTON POST.

There they Go Again! JEWISH owned NEW YORK TIMES puts a kind, fuzzy face on GLENN BECK's APPEALS to RIGHT-WING HATEMONGERS (="Naziesque tendencies")

As we reported earlier
(http://mediawhoresusa.blogspot.com/2009/02/bernard-goldberg-was-inspiration-for.html)
Jewish HATE-MONGER & Neo-Con writer BERNARD GOLDBERG's writings were held up as _"INSPIRATION"_ by the murderous gunman who entered a "liberal" Knoxville Church (minority & gay welcoming... during a Sunday children's play, no less!) - with a shotgun, pistols, & tons of ammunition, WITH the MURDEROUS INTENTION of SHOOTING and KILLING _EVERYONE_ INSIDE the church - as PROXIES, because the murderous Jim David Adkisson COULD NOT manage to KILL any of the big names listed by Goldberg in his right-wing hate-mongering "TOP TEN WORST AMERICANS" book.

WELL, along comes the JEWISH-owned NEW YORK TIMES this week, in their chronic, treacherous, lying, and insanely greedy NEO-CONSERVATIVE ENTITLEMENT, once again MAKING NICE with the MERCHANTS OF RIGHT-WING HATE, in this case doing a PUFF-PIECE on Right-Wing Radio shill GLEN BECK, who not only uses similar "HATE LIBERALS" rhetoric as Bernard Goldberg does, but recently (long after it was documented & proven that Goldberg's book was _THE INSPIRATION FOR MURDER_, for SHOOTING UP that Knoxville Church) INVITED Goldberg on the Glen Beck show (on CNN "HATE-MONGERS ARE US" no less!) to commisserate about just HOW MUCH BETTER America would be, if, you know, the Nazi- & Jewish Right-Wings in America could just start DISPOSING of THEIR ENEMIES, Nazi style!!!

But don't take OUR word for it! - Here is Buzzflash.com's
"Media Putz of the Week"
filling in a few more details than we can, about the BLATANTLY HATE-BAITING agenda of GLEN BECK, and, by extension, how the JEWISH NEO-CON EDITORS and PUBLISHERS of the New York Times SUPPORT THAT AGENDA of HATE (and resulting MURDERS), BY DOING A PUFF-PIECE on Beck !
(And don't forget the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church shooting was NOT the only Right-Wing POLITICAL ASSASSINATION/murder of 2008: just two weeks later, ANOTHER Right-Wing gunman, also allegedly inspired by Right-Wing hate-mongers' "media personalities" with shows on "mainstream" TV, walked in to the Arkansas state Democratic Party Headquarters in Little Rock, the gunman walking into Chairman Bill Gwaltney's office, then shooting & murdering the UNARMED Mr. Gwaltney...
- ANOTHER MURDER by RIGHT-WING ASSASSINATION in 2008!

As with the VAST TSUNAMI of FINANCIAL FRAUD which has destroyed MILLIONS of Americans savings, investments, home values (and jobs), the WHORE, CHRONICALLY LYING, murderously corrupt NEW YORK TIMES can NOT bother to CONNECT THE SIMPLE DOTS between RIGHT-WING HATE-MONGERS like Glenn Beck & Bernarnd Goldmberg, and the MURDERS committed by right-wing haters INSPIRED by those "major media" Right-WIng hate-mongering shills!

(Note: Buzzflash.com is also Jewish owned, & probably wouldn't appreciate our mentioning that the NEW YORK TIMES is Jewish-owned, and supports the ENTIRE RIGHT-WING, NEO-CON AGENDA of STOLEN ELECTIONS, LIES-to-WAR, WARS of AGGRESSION, DICTATORIAL executive war-powers, TORTURE, unlimited, no-oversight STASI-style SURVEILLANCE over Americans, Looting-the-Treasury (aka "Tax Cuts for Rich") and all the other atrocious policies that the NEW YORK TIMES has SUPPORTED over the past dozen-plus years... but we don't WRITE these awful stories, we simply CONNECT-THE-DOTS that Media Whores REFUSE to connect, just as our next point mentions:)
(note #2: note too how Buzzflash does an EXCELLENT job of __CONTRASTING__ NY Times 'writer' Bill Carter's current puff-piece on Glen Beck, with Carter's earlier, more strident writing about "liberal" MSNBC Countdown host Keith Olbermann.
THIS SIMPLE RESEARCH, "COMPARE & CONTRAST" quotations from the same writer about two different subjects, is something ENTIRELY BEYOND the capabilities of the NEO-CON WARMONGERING, CHRONICALLY LYING, & HATE-INCITING New York Times.... and is a TEXT-BOOK EXAMPLE of how the Times is NOT a "liberal" media organization, but a RIGHT-WING HATE-MONGERING organization playing right out of JOSEPH GOEBBEL's NAZI hate-mongering playbook.
http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/honors/149
< For writing a virtual press release without any context or any dimension of actually watching Glenn Beck's show, we proclaim that [NEW YORK TIMES 'reporters'] Brian Stelter and Bill Carter share this week's Media PUTZ of the Week award." >

NEO-CON Washington Post EXHIBITING their NAZI TENDENCIES again: "Waterboarding _IS_ TORTURE"... but ONLY when Khmer Rouge do it!

Yep, caught in the Act: the Washington Post showing its COWARDLY, NAZI stripes: ONE STANDARD for 'evil, sub-human foreigners' who run torture prisons, KILL their prisoners (and, what the hell, throw in a few condemnations for running DEATH SQUADS, just for fun), and another standard,
"ALL THE ABOVE ARE HOLY, GOD-ORDAINED cleansed & sanctified means to Assert the United States rule over the world," oops!
"to fight the never-ending, always expanding 'War on Terror'!"

HuffingtonPost with today's grisly details of the NEO-CON, warmongering, TREASURY-LOOTING, ELECTION-THIEVING Washington Post's REAL "journalistic 'standards'" - Right out of Herr Goebbels' playbook! -
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/31/iwashington-posti-finally_n_181193.html
Here's some unique writing from the WASHINGTON POST, in an article about a man named Kaing Khek Lev, or "Duch," a notorious genocidaire of the Khmer Rouge, who this week took responsibility for his crimes, namely running "the Khmer Rouge's most notorious torture center, Tuol Sleng in Phnom Penh," where an "estimated 16,000 men, women and children died." Now, we've read a lot of descriptions of torture in the Washington Post, but some editor allowed reporter Tim Johnston to file an extraordinary rendition:

The prosecution described a chain of death operated by Duch. His victims -- most of whom were either disgraced members of the Khmer Rouge or their families -- were tortured with electric shocks, WATERBOARDING, or beating to extract a confession..."
HuffingtonPost writer Jason Linkins does an excellent job of _compiling_ some of the Post's many GOEBBELS-esqu Washington establishment/bureaucracy DOUBLE-SPEAK terms used for describing Waterboarding, NOT so much as torture, but as some form of government conduct entirely within legal bounds:
See, when outfits like the WaPo typically talk about waterboarding, it's referred to as
"a form of simulated drowning that U.S. officials had previously deemed a crime"
or
"harsh interrogation tactics"
or
an "interrogation tactic"
or
"harsh interrogation practices"
or
"a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill."

But unless you are in possession of whatever gland produces honesty, like Dan Froomkin, you never, never, ever just come right out and say that waterboarding is torture.
-------------------------
The fact that ANYONE in America could think that EITHER the RIGHT-WING, NEO-CON,stolen-election-legitimizing, Warmongering, & TREASURY-LOOTING Washington Post _or_ New York Times were actually "LIBERAL" organizations
(just because Drug Addict Demagogue Rush Limbaugh, demagogue blow-hard Bill O'Reilly, or hate-crimes-and-murder inciting BERNARD GOLBERG (etc., ad infinitum, ad naseum) declare they are) - is clear proof of just how Orwellian, how Goebbels-esque, how COMPLETELY PROPAGANDIZED the people of the United States have become.
