A Record of Lies

I first saw this article on Truthout. There will be a 90 minute PBS presentation put together by Bill Moyers that shows the outright lies by Bush and company along with the failings of the complicit and unconscious main stream media all of which got the Iraq occupation in full swing.

A favorite excerpt: "Spending that 90 minutes on this will actually save you time, because you'll never watch television news again..."

I came to that same conclusion around the end of 2002 when I witnessed the complete cave in of journalists to simply re-mouth the words coming from the White House. It didn't matter that there were important qualified people out there screaming that those words were fabrications. We didn't here from those people on the MSM. It was a disgraceful period in American history, and we continue to muddle through the mess created by Bush and his neo-conservative cabal. A change in course may be the last chance for Democracy in America.

Is it any wonder why Brian Williams can say something like "I'm up against a guy named Vinny in an efficiency apartment." Its a pretty ugly comment. The truth is the MSM lost its credibility with Bushco in charge. The MSM news is now frequently non factual and the energy required to decipher fact from fallacy can be better spent on the alternate media.

Here's one of the little gems that got into the main stream media. Perhaps someone can check to see if Mr. Williams helped to amplify this outright lie. Vinny may not know a single thing but knowing nothing is far superior to knowing fantasies and lies.
