Incompetence Inc.

To go with my new theme change: another segment of media clips, showing the high and lowlights of the media over the last couple of days.

Faux continued its GOP cocksucking(?), labelling a disgraced Republican as a Democrat. (this one was too good not to post):

It really is an easy way to solve problems for the Republican party, with their propaganda machine in full swing: label everyone who doesn’t like you as a Democrat…

Our good friend Keith Olbermann had this to say:

Fact of the matter is, whether Fox fucked up, or are deliberately misinforming the people (which last time I checked was a crime), they did not admit their mistake, did not even acknowledge it, choosing to instead show a repeat of the telecast with the Information Bar removed.
This is definitely not the first time old Faux have been caught lying: they have several times now even changed the transcripts of their speeches to cover up any form of mistruth spouted by their reporters or any form of dissent spoken by their interviewees, but this is definitely one of the most disturbing pieces of media bias I have seen in a long time.

Another gallant performance came from Keith last night, where in his Special Comment, he exposed the bigoted lies that Bush has made about the Democrats.

This video and the transcript can be found over at Crooks and Liars. I will link to the actual video when I can find it on youtube.

EDIT:

Another eloquent editorial from Olbermann, showing what this administration would do to avoid taking responsibility for any of their faults, and there have been plenty.

It is the terror and the guilt within your own heart, Mr. Bush, that you re-direct at others who simply wish for you to temper your certainty with counsel.

It is the failure and the incompetence within your own memory, Mr. Bush, that leads you to demonize those who might merely quote to you the pleadings of Oliver Cromwell: “I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.”

It is not the Democrats whose inaction in the face of the enemy you fear, sir.

It is your own — before 9/11 – (and you alone know this), perhaps afterwards.

Mr. President, these new lies go to the heart of what it is that you truly wish to preserve.

It is not our freedom, nor our country — your actions against the Constitution give irrefutable proof of that.

You want to preserve a political party’s power. And obviously you’ll sell this country out, to do it.

These are lies about the Democrats piled atop lies about Iraq which were piled atop lies about your preparations for Al-Qaeda.

To you, perhaps, they feel like the weight of a million centuries.

As crushing. As immovable.

They are not.

If you add more lies to them, you cannot free yourself, and us, from them.

But if you stop — if you stop fabricating quotes, and building straw-men, and inspiring those around you to do the same — you may yet liberate yourself and this nation.

Please, sir, do not throw this country’s principles away because your lies have made it such that you can no longer differentiate between the terrorists and the critics.

Good night, and good luck.
