Amusing Article from MSNBC.com here. Basically it is about how the President can ban/scorn various news channels from interacting with him. I am not just referring to Obama, and neither is the article. What amuses me is how often we hear Presidents and other politicians talk about the news stations, especially newspapers lately, in a positive light -being something we should hold sacred, work to keep around etc – one second and the next second either attack or ban them.

I don’t doubt the reasons behind it but it does show just how much News stations are actually politically motivated. If it is to such a degree that the White House has stated that someone like Fox News are actually liars, then what can we really believe from News Stations at all? What about all that sanctity?

    Yes I know. Referring to Obama in anything other than a positive light is racism! Oddly enough I didn’t refer to him, I referred to an article that referred to him.

    Can you be racist via the transitive property of math?

  3. scanjack says:

    Of course. You did a bad, bad thing.

    i was just walking downtown and some guy with dark glasses asked me if i knew someone named “thraxxus”. feigning stupidity (not a hard act to employ) i simply drooled on myself and continued walking. i had no idea what to think about this run-in… upon viewing this thread, i now know.

    dude, the thought police will soon be at your house. i believe the crime is racism through osmosis via an abstraction of 2 degrees. good gawd, how could you be so careless!

    i’m here for you, my friend. just please forget my name and my email address.

    I’ve come to the conclusion that Orwell’s imagination just wasn’t quite up to the task of seeing what technology we have had since before 1984 itself even. Long live the LRAD!!!
