Do you think world bad faith in/ fear of the Bush regime was underreported in the US?
   
Looking back, and with the Nobel Peace Prize and the Russian's statement that Obama had averted a second cold war, It occurred to me that the world breathed a sigh of relief not because Obama was the first black president, but because it soon became evident to them he was not a war crazed alcoholic bufoon like Bush.
No documentation, just something that occurred to me.
Thoughts?

WWII could have been averted if everyone had just surrendered to Hitler too.

I haven't read that anywhere, but if true it only goes to show that Putin knows how to manipulate US citizens who are communist sympathizers into letting down their guard.

If a cold war has been averted, why are the Russkies developing a new "intercept-proof" nuclear missile system?

The more Obumbler screws up the more and wildly inflated fables of his greatness will flourish in cesspools like du, kos, and the MSM.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Well, appeasement and surrender always has been a fairly effective way to avoid war.

At least temporarily.

2. No fear involved for the M$M
 Look at how they are complacent in the attacks on President Obama for your answer. The corporate media was in collusion with the bu$h regime.

The relationship the bu$h regime had with the media had to make other propaganda agencies around the world envious of the bu$h cabal.


Attacks?  :lmao:

3. Yes. This is why we need a diversified, INDEPENDENT media in this country.
 The corporate-owned media that benefits from not telling the truth to the American people must be dealt with. When you have a company like General Electric that profits from military contracts, you can't expect it to report news that would endanger that business in their media subsidiaries.

When you have blatant propaganda and mis-information by the likes of Faux News, with no accountability whatsoever for telling lies, it becomes a problem.

Do you suppose we'd have gone to war if it had been widely reported that the Bush Administration was LYING to Congress and the American people about Iraq's part in harboring terrorists? How strong would support have been if the Downing Street Memos had been published when first discovered? Would Bush have even been elected to a second term?

We need a Fairness Doctrine that deals with today's media issues. There isn't enough diversity in the media to ensure everyone gets the whole story, especially when you consider many of the broadcast stations are all owned by the same entity. And lots of people still don't have expanded cable, where there's a better choice.

These DUmmies keep saying that the MSM is anti-0Bama, yet Fox is the only network to be called out by this administration.  There is a reason for that, 0Bama knows that the rest are in his pocket.

And now they are even being so bold as to admit it in public.
