The American people recognized the "Mainstream Newsmedia" for the Leftist propaganda machine that it is and recoiled in disgust at its mendacity, distortions, disinformation, selective reporting, propaganda, and out-and-out lies.

We responded by re-electing President Bush.

The behavior of the "Newsmedia" is one of the most important things the people mean when they denounce the "moral values" of the Left.

The victory that we won over the ratmedia has not yet begun to be understood by them. They have no idea how irrelevant they have become. Switching brokejaw for williams, finally putting rather bias down etc, these are window dressings- as they say arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Will the msm completely go away? Of course not. What will happen is that the rank and file rats will be the only people watching. Their votes will be locked in and meaningless.

PEST-sufferers will never recover unless they recognize the following as fiction, created for political purposes by Democrats and dutifully parrotted as relentless propaganda by the Leftist "Mainstream Newsmedia":

The Patriot Act squashes civil liberties.
Bush stole the Florida election.
Republicans are greedy.
Iraq was invaded for oil.
Bush is a liar.
U.N. inspections were working so the war was unjustified.
Halliburton is profiteering.
In continuing to read My Pet Goat to schoolchildren for a few minutes after the World Trade Center was hit, Bush proved he is an inadequate Commander in Chief.

PEST-therapists who hope to treat PEST-sufferers must realize that they will never recover until they recognize the falsity of each of these allegations.

For a therapist to refuse to assist PEST-sufferers in recognizing this reality and thus find the only path to recovery would constitute malpractice.

And how did FOX news handle this story? Not very well, that's for sure. A few of the commentators quietly said that OBL is obviously parotting the moveon.org talking points, but that's nothing compared to what they should have done: headlined this story in two parts.

Part I: OBL declares his support for Kerry
Part II: MSM covers up the story

But FOX, in an obsessive need to be "fair and balanced" relegated both those stories to the TV equivalent of the back pages.

Shame on FOX.

Ted Koppel did a show after that tape and stated OBL wanted Bush to win. What a disgusting propagandist!!!!!!!!
