“Familiarity breeds contempt.” [1] The more we got to know ya, the more we don’t like you or your policies!

Another “Familiarity breeds contempt”!!! And this one raises some very pertinent questions, in more ways than one!!!

John Kerry delivered an illuminating speech [2] as well last night! “I have known and been friends with John McCain for almost 22 years. But every day now I learn something new about candidate McCain. To those who still believe in the myth of a maverick instead of the reality of a politician, I say, let's compare Senator McCain to candidate McCain.” Kerry’s dialogue was as intelligent and as precise a description of John McCain that we’ve seen thus far! Thanks John Kerry!
British Foreign Secretary Derides Russia Policy Backed by McCain [3]. Sen. John McCain has repeatedly proclaimed that it is time to kick Russia out of the ‘Group of Eight’ organization of industrial powers, even before Russia's recent conflict with Georgia. But the idea has not been embraced by many foreign policy experts, who tend to view it as needlessly provocative. Today, the top diplomat of one of the U.S.'s closest allies, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, weighed in, calling the notion ‘knee-jerk’…" Hmm, it’s beginning to look like the only people not questioning John McCain’s “judgment” these days are all those blathering ditto heads on mainstream corporate media 24/7 news channels!
“Biden's Speech [4]. John Kerry’s Speech [5].” Take it from those who know him best, “John McCain is George Bush”!
“… listening to MSM pundits say "Nobody's attacking John McCain" AT THE EXACT SAME TIME the speaker they're talking over is attacking John McCain is incredibly frustrating [5] … the MSM did viewers a disservice by ignoring some rousing speeches.” More proof that 24/7 mainstream corporate media is messing with our minds! It’s past time to STOP the madness of those who are the real purveyors of corruption! Tune them off, over, and out!!!
If the “NEWS’ continues to be corporate “OPINION”, the AP News Service ain’t the only source of news Americans will be dropping! [6] “Freedom of the press” does not, I repeat does not give news services the right to twist and skew the facts, it does not give mainstream corporate media an exclusive right to lie to the public!

“… The media, which is controlled by the real power brokers in this nation, have controlled elections in the past by presenting and withholding selected information from the public in order to influence their voting. By doing so, they pretty much guarantee the outcome of an election. Do you think that if the media did their job and actually informed the public accurately about who George W. Bush was and what his qualifications were he would have stood a chance of becoming a US President? This guy was less qualified to be president than Britney Spears is qualified to be a parent!” [7] Certainly the 24/7 news channels have more than proven these facts this last week with their so-called analysis of the Democratic Convention in Denver! Having watched the proceedings and then, in listening to the commentary by the blathering news anchors, commentators, and guests, I was left wondering, did they see the same speeches, the same dialogue, the same performances, and sometimes even the same speakers that I saw on C-SPAN? Mainstream corporate media, both on the airwaves and in print, have failed in their duty to America! Their bias and their tactics are becoming more and more evident! The questions become WHY are they doing this, WHAT are their motives, and WHEN will mainstream corporate media be held accountable for their culpability??

BUZZFLASH FOR PROGRESSIVES, BY PROGRESSIVES! [7] You can take it to the bank and depend on the news in these days when mainstream corporate media is nothing but “trial and error”!
