TALKING DOWN THE MARKET
Is it just me, or do the national media seem extra gleeful about reporting a drop on Wall Street (never mind that the Dow's over 13,000!) and working hard to spook viewers about housing prices. No, the elite media don't get together in conspiratorial conference calls, they just think alike. These "Sons and Daughters of the '60s" believe Bush is Nixon, Iraq is Vietnam, Gonzales and the Justice Department is like Watergate... they're beside themselves with excitement. It's all so very obvious. And sickening.
WHERE'S AMERICA? I've noticed another trend lately, especially with Brian Williams. Listen for references to "the United States" or "America". You won't hear much of that at all. Usually there are only pointed references to "in this country" or "in this nation". The "this country" references seem to exist to put the USA on level with all other nations. And could it be that saying "America" in the news just smacks too much of... oh, what's the nasty word..... patriotism?
