Fable vs .Truth


A televisual fairyland
The US media is disciplined by corporate America into promoting the Republican cause - George Monbiot - Tuesday January 18, 2005 -
On Thursday, the fairy king of fairyland will be recrowned. He was elected on a platform suspended in midair by the power of imagination. He is the leader of a band of men who walk through ghostly realms unvisited by reality. And he remains the most powerful person on earth.

This article goes on to cover CBS and the documents about Bush's military record and Armstrong Williams. Monbiot said (to paraphrase) that both of these things helped Bush (true) and that the Republicans take the fable that helps their side instead of the reality that is the truth.

Thanks Wanda - I hope you're having a good week, too. By the way, did you write "your" to chide me? :) I was called a "grammer nazi" on a comment board this week.. It was all very amusing.
