[QUOTE]Originally posted by Highway Hoss: [QB] Wes, as far as I am concerned, the so called "liberal media" is largely a fiction, since most mass media outlets like TV, radio and newspapers are controlled by huge corporate conglomerates who mostly fund the republican party. Jay, thanks for the support; I certainly appreciate it. :D As for the article being "emotional"? Well it certainly is, but it is not suprising; one thing that you won't hear about in the mainstream media is the enormous backlash Bush's policies are generating here in the US; women for example are mobilizing on an unprecedented scale while many college age citizens are organizing voting drives. Bush's biggest problem is his lack of awareness of the larger world around him; as [URL=http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0418-03.htm]this article[/URL] noted, he tends to live in his own personal "bubble" which results in an appalling lack of awareness or interest of the world around him. This makes him easily influenced by the neo-conseratives in his inner court. BTW to me, the label "neo-conserative" strikes me as totally inaccurate in describing the people who are shaping Bush's policies; the more appropriate term IMHO would be "neo-[i]imperialists[/i]", since they believe in the dictum of "might makes (their twisted version of) right".
