"The Media" Drumbeat

[azellyn]

It started last month when the thief-in-office gave that speech blaming the media for starting his war with that quote that went something like this:

Quote:"'March to war', 'march to war'. That's all I heard from one network, I forgit which one it was, was 'March to war.'" (That is not a complete or exact quote but you get the point).

Bush started the drumbeat that the CONS here, there and everywhere are beginning to march to. Sean, Rush, et al have been the incessant DRUM BEATERS in the very media they decry sending the idiots who are posting this tripe about "The Media" out in force.

Good thing they're a minority. This noise will die down soon. I suggest the CONS return to thr radios for further instruction and try again.

What the hell are you talking about? And, if you're going to paraphrase a quote, it doesn't go in quotation marks. That's how rumors get started.

So, which speech was this, I'd like to read the transcript and see how far your out-of-context "non-quote" is out of context. ?Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.? - - President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

?We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them.? - - President George W. Bush

Here's the actual quote from his July 30th speech from the White House which you can view in its entirety on the White House website. Unless it's been scrubbed as they are wont to do.

Quote:".... And then we had the drumbeat to war. Remember on our TV screens - I'm not suggesting which network did this - but it said, 'March to War,' every day from last summer until the spring - 'March to War, March to War.' That's not a very conducive environment for people to take risk, when they hear, 'March to War' all the time."

Hang on, that looks like a quote in relationship to an economic or investor related question.

Don't you know how to link anything azellyn? ?Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.? - - President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

?We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them.? - - President George W. Bush

Date of speech July 30th.

The point of the quote was to blame the press/media for the economy.

Only a CON would try to put over such a ludicrous concept on the public when it was the CON himself who started the war. But despite it's sheet stupidity and irony, this victim stance is bng taken up by the CONned in droves as they begin to sink in the polls.

Oh well, I guess it is to be expected from the fringe right.

Wait a minute...

You started this thread with this quote:
Quote:azellyn:

"It started last month when the thief-in-office gave that speech blaming the media for starting his war..."

Now you say:
Quote:azellyn:

"The point of the quote was to blame the press/media for the economy."
Which is it? Was he blaming the media for the war or the economy?

And, the media can have a huge impact on the economy. Particulary the stock market and investors. Ever heard of sinking a stock by releasing a bogus story about the CFO? And, yes, rumors of war, acts of war, stories about rumors and acts of war do affect the economy through investor and consumer confidence.

But, still, I'm interested in which you're saying. Blaming the media for war or for the economy. Both are huge successes.

The recession that began in the last year of the Clinton administration is clipping along, back to health, at an annual 4% growth rate since President Bush took office. Employment always lags...but, it too will catch up.

The war on terror, while a little more sticky, is progressing well too. Two terrorist harbors down, who knows how many to go.

Only a Demoncratic fool (yes, I know that's redundant) would suggest he was blaming the media for the war. I'll read the transcript but, it appears to me he was admonishing the media for thr protracted run up to a very short period of Major Combat. A protraction that caused skiddishness in the investment sector. I don't see him as blaming them for the war.

But, let me read it for myself. ?Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.? - - President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

?We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them.? - - President George W. Bush

It's that Bush himself was responsible for the very material that was reported.

He and his corrupt administration gave speech after speech after speech about the war. What should the media have done except report it?

If Bush knows that negative information about a war could negatively affect the economy, then why wasn't he more reponsible in promoting the war. He increasingly pushed up the threat of Saddam until 70% believed Saddam caused 9/11? And then he blames "
the media?"
