illusionofjoy | The mainstream media is manipulating you

It is a sad day indeed when even America's bullshit detector, Ted Rall, starts sipping the Obama Kool-Aide. Still, I take solace in the fact that Rall will take a shot at any politician and has been one of the very few cartoonists and columnists on a major syndicate to take Obama to task on more than one occasion. For the moment, I'll take today's cartoon as simply being a lapse in output, and not a more sinister sign of indoctrination.

Meanwhile, the rest of the mainstream media has there collective noses out of place over Hillary Clinton's supposedly "controversial" comments about RFK. VastLeft at Corrente sums up my feelings on the matter perfectly:

The media frenzy around Howard Dean sounding gravelly in a microphone was 100% bullshit.

The media frenzy around Hillary Clinton recalling the campaign of a great Democrat who was assassinated is 100% bullshit.

Anyone who falls for either is not just any dupe, but the kind of dupe who lets the media pick our candidates.

I am so sick of bullshit.
