Mediasaurus Awakening

After a long hibernation, on the sidelines doing nothing with pom-poms, bells and whistles, news scraps received from Pentagon Daily Briefings' or White House Daily Press Briefings, news reports "on location" with fake backgrounds, "embedded" journalists reporting what the Department Of Defense reports to them, realizing that Jon Stewart's stock has sky-rocketed since he is an expert on reporting "fake" news in front of fake backgrounds with blue-screens and all, that irrelevancy is a dangerous trend to ratings and subsequently income - the sacred cow and meaning of life, plagiarism doesn't pay, nor does Chalobi's blown up intelligence information, and losing democracy (seriously) is not affordable,

Mediasaurus decided to screw Westinghouse, G.E., Disney, Murdoch, or Time Warner and perhaps take a ride on the "information superhighway" before the birth of some new Bernsteins or Woodwards who will penetrate Cheney's Cyborgville and uncover "the master cyborg plan", or the bloggers will be offered their journalistic jobs; it's time for them to rub their eyes and start scraping up the crumbs of events and report the news.

I woke up this morning then almost choked on the first sip of my coffee, seeing on CNN a debate about "the lies in Bush's negative ads about John Kerry", and almost prolonged my four day weekend taking another day off from work to celebrate this "awakening" that would make Robin Williams proud and Jon Stewart jealous of our Corporatis Mediasaurus. All the frustrations of the past, foamings at the mouth and screamings at the TV screen were gone in a second and I was ready to forgive even Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh for all the Clinton bashing throughout the ages.

That's why "they" call us "liberals". We're bleeding hearts, forgive too easily and apologize for being so blunt in unmasking their lies rather than get out our whips and chains, hoods and dog-leashes to punish the sinners in a good "the means justify the end" rhetoric. The truth is that we're too soft on them, defensive and easily intimidated by right-wing slogans as "bleeding-heart liberal", or "tax and spend liberal", rather than calling them who they really are: "stingy fascist", "corporatists" or "soldiers of the fourth reich". Next time around under the Kerry administration let's stop them from turning this country and the greatest prosperity of America in modern times into a circus as they did under Bill Clinton.

This is a big day, my blogger friends. Even the Sun came out this morning after an ugly Memorial Day to help us celebrate that all that ranting and raging was not in vain. This is the "big awakening", the dawn of a new era and the inheriting of 7.2 trillion debt of the country, packeted by our "friends on the other side", and that dreaded Iraqi mess. My heart goes out to John Kerry...
