Why was Wandas Joke about Rush being the 20th Highjacker considered using ‘9/11’s name in vain and yet the Right wingers can use it as the punchline to every agruement for their heinous crimes or to get a vote?
Report thisHow many times did Rudy G ‘pimp out’ the events of 9/11 throughout his campaign. Working it like a Streetwalker to solicit voters from the electorate- A thousand?
How many times did Cheney just defile the event and the innocent victims, to justify his illegal orders to Torture detainees in that AEI speech- 21?
How dare the Repugs and their media propagandaist claim outrage over a simple joke when they have used the events of 9/11 like their own personal Whore to fake consent by the general public or hustle votes from them.
You are assured a LIE is coming when their lips start moving and the words “9/11” come out.

Worked with so many “journalists” at many places. They learn “who, what, when, where etc.” and they study spelling and a tad of political science. They study a lot of the social sciences so long as it does not require math and statistics.
The all are “wannabe” writers and novelists, and rarely have any interest in quantitative sciences.
The love to find stories about dogs. You know, “man bites dog,” now that is a news story.
In the middle of the second Great Depression, they turn out in droves to write about a pooch. Typical. Like the members of the U.S. Congress, “journalists” are not able to report on economics and the significance of any numbers. The fact is, it just doesn’t turn them on. Especially, the TV “news” emotional news - but the public education system has prepared a loyal audience for Larry King and the rest. Millions of ordinary people actually prefer Nancy Grace, not details about hedge fund traitors and puppet politicians. What a pity.
If they get restless, leave them jobless, ship them stimulus money to feed them and some unemployment stipend. The mainstream media and plenty of beer and drugs will get them docile again.

Mass media’s job is to do what Wanda Sykes described, though this is only the tip of the iceberg.
