I READ this article last night when I was at Barnes and Noble. I was scratching my head. Though I know Newsweek is a propaganda rag, I was still surprised because their campaigning was so blatant. My family has saved something like $9000 in taxes over the past three years. The article is just flat wrong and Newsweek REALLY needs to be called to task for this.

TIME also ran a economy piece (or something, I can't remember the specifics) that was trying to "come across" as objective in it's reporting. But within a paragraph or two, it was slamming Bush in subtle ways, and outright lying in what it said. The article went very soft on Kerry.

Then I picked up another publication, something the New York Times put out about retirement. The first chapter I opened to was about the need for a "national healthcare system" - it too was extremely left.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but it seems like this propaganda is EVERYWHERE. I'm looking at Yahoo online. Their news headers and articles are extremely liberal and more BS.

All this nonesense has its effect on people who have their "facts" filtered through these "credible" news sources. I have a son in Washington State. He's 11. His mother tells me he hates Bush. The first question I asked her, wasn't "why does he hate Bush" but rather "where does he get his information about Bush?". His mother said "CNN" and I said, "no wonder."

"Maybe I'm paranoid, but it seems like this propaganda is EVERYWHERE."

Send the bastards a lesson in November that we're not buying their crap.

Talk radio was first, then the internet, then Fox News. They'll learn eventually as each of these 3 continue to grow and come to dominate, while they wither. Chin up, it's happening, if slowly.

You're not paranoid.

Speaking of Time Magazine, I'll never forget about a year ago (or maybe shortly after the 2002 election ass-kicking, how Joe Klein (Primary Colors) had a front cover piece called, roughly, "What's Wrong With The Democratic Party? (And How They Can Fix It)"

I wasn't amazed so much as po'd.
