| hey, i can write propaganda, too! |
| 01.26.05 (8:39 am) [edit] |
When I call Maggie Gallagher an ass, please understand that it also stems from jealousy. I wanted to be the next Mike Royko, and I'm still bitter about it. And no, I'm not as funny as Royko (especially in the blogosphere, which is just brimming with writers who don't encounter stage fright) and who knows if I would have made it anyway. But it still pisses me off.So this columnist was paid by the Bush administration to push Shrub's limited vision of what marriage should mean in the United States. Okay, fine. You want to take money to write that shit, that's your business. But to push that agenda in a newspaper without telling anyone? That's really wrong. When confronted, Gallagher said "Did I violate journalistic ethics by not disclosing it? I don't know. You tell me." Since Gallagher is not the first and I suspect she won't be the last, let me in my tiny world tell the rest of you journos: you are lucky to have your jobs. People read what you write every day, and your words have strength you may not comprehend. But, as Uncle Ben said, "With great power comes great responsibility." Please wield your pen-as-sword wisely. And if you won't, then at least fucking tell us you're puppets for Bush. |

lol good job. it's like these people can't read. if they could they would that everything bush is pushing is a big fat lie. THERE IS NO SOCIAL SECURITY CRISIS!! won't be for almost 100 years. there is how ever a serious medicare crisis, and what does he want to do about that? cut the benifits. which incidentalyy, is exactly what his social security plan entails. maybe that's how he plans to pay for all the spending he's doing. take away aour retirement security.

Well said, JT. Great post. As if the Bush propaganda machine wasn't already overwhelming. It's disgusting. Makes ex-USSR's Pravda look like Open-Day for truth and integrity.

Retire? Security? Funny, I had no idea these concepts actually existed. Certainly not for working-class Democrats like me!
