The goal is divide and conquer. As long as blacks and whites and latinos are fighting each other the powers that be can gain more control. I agree with you that WND is a shit rag. Fuck them.

Media masters?
And if you agree that WND is a shit rag, then why did you cite it?
Anyway, I'm not exactly sure what twisted hatred I have been spewing. Please clarify what specifically you are referring to? Perhaps I can use my liberal guilt to cure myself.

Eric Alterman, the vociferous media critic of the Nation and an online commentator for MSNBC.com, has for years now been peddling a pretty straightforward theory about the American press.
It is, he believes, under the control of venal, expanding corporations, and its best-known practitioners are either conservative fat cats spoon-fed by corporate interests or others so intimidated by those interests that they will not contest the right-wing agenda.
The public face of the whole arrangement is a new media elite—Alterman dubs it the “punditocracy”—dominated by the likes of George Will, William Kristol, Morton Kondrake, and Bill O’Reilly.
In What Liberal Media?, Alterman has extended his basic analysis still further. As his subtitle (“The Truth About Bias and the News”) explicitly suggests, he is taking aim at works like Bernard Goldberg’s Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, Anne Coulter’s Slander, and other broadsides arguing that the national press is in fact dominated by a liberal media elite.
Nonsense, says Alterman. The idea of a liberal-controlled media is no more than a “useful myth,” propagated by conservatives to conceal the extent to which they themselves have come to gain control. Indeed, he writes, “Liberals are fighting a near-hopeless battle in which they are enormously outmatched by most measures.”
Worse, the liberals have largely capitulated: thanks to the “conservative colonization of the so-called ‘center’ ” of American political debate, “even the genuine liberal media [are] not so liberal” any longer. Alterman points not just to the roster of conservative commentators on Fox, MSNBC, and CNN but to the supposed transformation of the once-liberal New Republic (the Nation‘s competitor) into a conservative mouthpiece and the alleged rightward trend of the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Good read if you have the time.
A little dated (Russert and Novak are now dead), but you get the idea.
EDIT: Just saw this while proofreading my post...

David Axelrod his his handler and if obama (real name Barry Soreto) steps out of line for one second he will be dealt with in a very severe way.

Well, at least you took out the JFK assassination reference in the edited version of your post.
