<<<MEDIA WHORES ONLINE>> It seems funny to hear the Demolibs talk about Media Whores after 8 years of the Clinton regime.

Re: "Your characterization of the media is accurate, if not quite vitriolic enough for my rather more flamboyant tastes. I prefer these ranting jeremiahs...." >>>> Funny, funny, funny. Re: "...come to the conclusion that Rupert Murdock is EVIL PERSONIFIED." >>> And, who said the age of The Robber Barons was dead? >>> Mud-slinging, lies, racism, jingoism, a well-developed mercenary instinct and an over developed 'Big Daddy' paternalism, statism, and hard ball politics gave us the DEA and a 60+ year war on personal behavior... as well as the Spanish American War... not to mention ever increasing Federal bureaucracies and ever increasing Federal intrusiveness... to mention just a few developments in our 'modern' world. I believe that money - as ever - speaks loudly... and we are all 'equal', but some animals are more equal than others :) >>> Our failure to understand history (let alone, to remember it) condemns us to repeat past swindles. As far as my statement: "Whatever the reasons are, what passes for 'national media' these days is heavily out-matched by our current crop of Spin Masters...." and your disagreement: "Again, I disagree. The media is the handmaiden and chief slut of the Spin Masters." >>> 'Chief Sluts', or just over-matched, ink stained scribblers, the damage done to the body politic by the Third Estate's abdication or ineptitude is just as real.
