Rosie was right. The pet food recall… Imus… and now a barbaric school shooting that will surely dominate the headlines for days to come. Our government loves news days like this.
- Remember Gonzales?
- Did you hear about the 6 Iraqi cabinet members quitting?
- The 3,653 U.S. soldiers killed by two illegal occupations justified by lies?
- Have you noticed that all political news is now focused on the 2008 Presidential election? Not what’s going on right NOW. Not the complete inability of Congress to stand up to Bush, get our civil liberties back, repair our broken Constitution and Bill of Rights, and heed the demands of a majority of Americans calling for an IMMEDIATE end to the Iraq occupation.
Don’t be distracted.
Every day: Our military perpetrates this kind of violence.
Every day: Iraqi civilians risk their lives when they go to the market.
Every day: Our troops risk their lives trying to calm the chaotic stew of a country their Commander in Chief stirred up and mercilessly threw them into.
Every day: The roads blow up underneath them.
Every day: The families of 9/11 victims wonder what really happened to their loved ones and why their deaths are being used to justify so much violence and destruction.
Our media doesn’t deliver the news you need to know. It delivers what they want you to know. Seven corporations control ALL of your tv channels.
You can’t be lazy anymore, you have to get the news for yourself, dig a little, read news from outside the U.S. Don’t assume that if it’s not on the front page it’s not important. Likewise, don’t assume that if it is on the front page it is important. Usually it’s the back pages that hold the real stories.
EDUCATE & INFORM YOURSELF.
