    I really hate the media...

    From CNN:

    "But in an apparent reference at one point, he used a line he attributed to gun-control advocate Sarah Brady, the wife of Jim Brady, a former spokesman for President Reagan who was shot in an assassination attempt on Reagan in 1981."


    Ummmm...
    No. Mr Brady was a secret service man made to take a bullet. He did his job.

    What? Now he is a spokesman? What the mother fuck?
    Artical

    The Mainstream Media lies...
    This is not a big one but the bending of truth is Epic.

          James S. Brady achieved a lifelong career goal with his appointment by President Ronald Reagan in January of 1981 to be Assistant to the President and White House Press Secretary.

              You were right that CNN and Fox are both right wing propaganda.

                  Press Secretary to "spokesman" is (while not strictly an error) still cause for pause, if not yet objection.

                  The opportunistic (or governmentally "encouraged") re-characterization of people, events and circumstances by the media is not always a black-to-white, one-day-to-the-next reversal of truth -- as with the involvement of Iraq in 911.

                  Sometimes, they do it in baby steps that might not get detected as such, nor immediately betray the direction of the change.

                  I'm not sure this is the case in AlienQ's example, but there certainly ARE reasons why the Republican Party might wish to begin to distance (the memory of) Ronald Reagan from gun control advocacy --

                          Chomsky:
                          "You look at the media, or at any institution you want to understand. You ask questions about its internal institutional structure. You want to know something about their setting in the broader society. How do they relate to other systems of power and authority? If you?re lucky, there is an internal record from leading people in the information system which tells you what they are up to (it is sort of a doctrinal system). That doesn?t mean the public relations handouts but what they say to each other about what they are up to. There is quite a lot of interesting documentation."
                          If you read this paragraph and absorbed the simple, astonishing truth it contains, you should never again be able to open a newspaper or turn on the television with anything less than COMPLETE SUSPICION.
