This has been trying to drive me screaming naked off a cliff for a couple years, yonder, and... now—finally, after giving up completely—they tell me.... I see it. I tell myself I'm seeing things. I see it. I ask. It's denied. I keep seeing it and seeing it and seeing it, thinking this is some aberration. It ain't no damn aberration. There's a damn intertubes term for it. I really have to stop being so damn surly about doing the necessary surfing to take the pulse. Whenever you close off to damn anything, this is the kind of damn shock awaiting.

Splains everything, and quoth Dennis Kucinich, who I don't think has LEFT the damn party:

There’s nothing liberal about the bailouts. There’s nothing liberal about standing by and watching banks use public money to get their executive bonuses. There’s nothing liberal about giving insurance companies carte blanche to charge anything they want for health care… Since when did that become liberal?

There’s nothing liberal about letting coal and oil write climate change legislation. Are you kidding me?

Which makes all the damn frantic access blogging more aptly termed damn "propaganda". No?

Yes.

Yeeeowch!

The United States is now at the very dark terminus of a four-decades-long journey, one in which—at nearly each fateful juncture—the Right made the smart maneuver and the Left mostly hurt itself, most notably by allowing its divisive squabbles over purity vs. pragmatism to destroy the best opportunities for progress.

—Robert Parry

Of course, this comes amid acres of verbiage all pretty much pointed at whining that liberals don't support a media structure, a refrain, you might imagine, I am heartily sick of. We don't need a left media to balance out the right media. We need a completely free—and I do mean from political parties too—media. Fuck. Not even someone as smart and dedicated as Robert Parry seems to GET that, seems to be able to look up from his Jon Stewart envy to realize what a colossal mental error he is bellowing down through the tubes....

The Right Wing propaganda is WRONG and competing Left Wing propaganda doesn't fix that. Fuck you.
