Radioactive News

I learned from Limbo yesterday that in the immediate aftermath of Jackson's open mike gaffe - that he wants to cut Obama's nuts off -  the collective media, while trying to cover for Jackson, did not once identify what it was that he said.  Several years ago I pretty much gave up on political conversation with friends for that reason.  At the time, the internet was scarcely used for getting news, but as regular participant in Free Republic, I was steeped in it.  I found that it made little matter when I cited details of various Clinton goings-on, because the other guy hadn't heard a thing about it on Dan Rather, nor read about it in the Baltimore Sun, so would dismiss my factual statements out of hand.  Dialog was impossible, and ended with me calling someone a farking-retard, and being given the finger in return. That's pretty much where we are today, with liberals all curled up in ubiquitous drive-by-media and nut-root news wombs, seeing us as right-wing crazies who make stuff up and smear nice people like the Obamassiah.  In that respect we  do speak different languages, and adhere to different versions of  "truth," which are ingredients in the recipe for civil war. If so, that blood will be on our media.
