For the Post, Cat Is Big, Corruption Ain’t

Posted on Jul 31, 2008

While most other newspapers around the country treated the indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, as a major cover story, the New York Post ran the story as a small item on Page 17. As Stephen Colbert put it, “Thank God for Rupert Murdoch and the objective journalists at the New York Post,” which featured a 44-pound cat from New Jersey on Wednesday’s cover.

corruption isn’t? go to http://www.pbs.com & go to Bill Moyers Journal & read/hear Capitol Crimes: in one instance the man is saying “you just buy or rent a politician”: and shows exactly how they use the church etc in their doings; & tragically some are still at it; also if you go to http://www.democracynow.org and check out the information there it is the only reliable outside source currently that I have to independent media; the “body slamming” by policemen you MUST read the whole story to get to i witness which was made up folks getting video’s to PROVE what happened; STRESSED is that the TIME must be set correctly on your equipment be it cell phone whatever cuz the police & authorities are lying under oath and not only that they are deliberately cutting sections that would PROVE the person accused is innocent; remember the Buddist monk’s in Tibet who “supposedly” burned & rioted? we “saw” it done correct? WRONG. Consider the commercial YOU see that shows the monk horrified that he is killing germs with the new kleenex; MONKS in THIS instance of THIS sector do NOT harm anything: in reality, the Chinese came for the monks to be “punished” for their supposed activities; they were shown with some journalists begging for help; it wasn’t us; it wasn’t us; THEY WERE MADE UP TO LOOK LIKE US! NOW you know what the PLAN is for us: and WHY Obama claimed that citizens of the USA were ripping babies out of mothers arms & they were terrified of us & having to take refuge in churchs. REMEMBER: it has been played in the press: there are terrorists folks who look JUST LIKE US; by the way, if you aren’t paranoid, you’re not paying attention! You might want to go to yahoo groups & join paranoid times to find a lot more than you wanted to know including info on concentration camps “supposedly” for immigrants; undoubtedly “films” exist showing this very thing: and it is NOT the citizens of the USA but the B’s running this country who are behind it being filmed; to perpetrate a fraud on the world; be alert; be aware, & be safe!

All MSM is bull. Complaining about The New Your Post, Fox or any of the propaganda machines is useless. Turn the sh!t off and go straight to independent or, gasp. international coverage…

At least the Post got one thing right:  they put a Fat Cat on their cover!  Too bad they didn’t label it as Ted Stevens.

every single member of congress has lied & accepted bribes from the oil companies in one form or another; otherwise, alternative cleaner & far cheaper to the consumers & better for the environment alternative means would have been used; read they apologized for slavery yesterday; wonder why it’s still being used on the citizens of the USA today? see info re gas companies profits; oh, that’s right; Congress is SUPPOSED to not let that happen, price gouging right? Or is it different when the CAR COMPANIES promotion is $2.99 gas guarenteed for 36 months not the biggest tipoff to the world (if not Americans) that the price is SET by Bush/house of Saud? (WAKE UP AMERICANS!) with all the fraud re elections including even extending to American Idol going on with the Gov today it is ludicrous to even THINK that any supposedly “elected” officials in the USA are actually elected anything; just another fraud on the citizens & supposedly the world;

Stevens has nothing to worry about. He will be reelected by voters who are as greedy,avaricious,and insatiable as he is.

Murdock needs to be indicted, convicted and sentenced for intnetional attempts to Bar Americans of their Constitutional right to a FREE PRESS.
It was bad enough when he dispensed Celebrity liable slander articles. but then he was allowed to conquer and detroy News. Now he has been allowed to influence theorugh deception Economic information in the WSJ.
His sentence for these Crimes should be, to be shipped back ‘Down under’ to a Tribe that still practices Cannabalism- feeding the hungry would be the first good thing he’s done for Humanity during his vile miserable life!
