AN AMERICAN REQUIEM
I know it requires a lot of reading, but it is a damn shame that this flash animation from Take Back The Media! is not being broadcast nationally. Just facts, important questions and powerful images. At the very least, you can head over and give it a look. And, if you have a blog, which you most likely do, link to it as your blog is most likely read by more folks than mine.

MEDIA MATTERS
If you haven't been by yet, check out David Brock's new watchdog site, Media Matters for America. In one article regarding the so-called mainstreaming of Limbaugh, there is a list of Limbaughisms that would not be believed if they had not come from that foul mouth. Stuff like this:
"22) OPEC announced a cancellation of its 10 percent cutback in production so -- and there's some little strife going on in Venezuela with that wacko, Cesar Chavez, down there. Hugo. Hugo, Cesar -- whatever. A Chavez is a Chavez. We've always had problems with them. So the bottom line is that I don't think supplies are going to be interrupted. [3/26/04] "
And this is fairly tame compared with a lot of the stuff listed...check it out.

Bush reveals little of 9/11 testimony given, distracts press corps with robot dance
Via American Idle :
(AP) - President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney spent more than three hours behind closed doors Thursday with the Sept. 11 commission charged with finding ways to prevent a repeat of the worst terrorist attack in American history. 'I answered every question they asked,' Bush said. Bush declined to disclose details of the Oval Office discussion, instead, the president mesmerized the press corps by performing the 1980s dance commonly referred to as 'The Robot,' slowly shuffling his way back into the White House before anyone realized what was happening.
