Why Don’t TheyReport?

Posted by Bob in How Things Work on 06/03/2005

I am about to listen to a UN staffer who was the first to get fired in the UN “Oil for Food” Scandal. He will be on Fox, of course.

He says he’s a scapegoat.

We all know that.

But I doubt any of this will be on CNN. If it is, it will be because it is on Fox.

For decades, the people who are now in charge of CNN played by the rules.

Have you ever noticed that, in all the years since 1945, the KGB was rounding up millions of people for the Gulag, our media referred to any oppression as “like the Gestapo?”

Nobody said “like the KGB” because if you did, your network would be out of Moscow.

So CNN never reports on somebody who can get them back.

Now that Fox has stuck it under their nose, viewers are slowly beginning to smell a rat.

But they have to talk about Iraq first.

Zoroaster and Iraq.

I forgot to make point which I supposed seemed obvious to me, but there is no reason it should be.

The reason I keep harping on the Magi and Zoroastrianism is a matter of stark political reality today.

Tens of millions of our best anti-liberals are dedicated to tying American foreign policy directly to Israel. This is a direct result not only of their fixation on the Old Testament, but also on the idea that Jews are God’s Chosen People and Israel is the Only True Holy Land.

If you think this is an abstract discussion, take a look at the American casualty list from Iraq this week.
