[Mediawatch] Librul Media redux

Time’s U.S. cover is the bible should be taught in our schools while Time’s international cover is we have screwed up Afghanistan too.

c.f. Newsweek, last September.

  1. For some reason there was a Time magazine on the kitchen table yesterday. I read the cover story, about how in the run up to the US elections, the Republicans are mostly screwed. But anyway, one of the main contenders defined the biggest crisis facing the world as “islamic fundamentalism”. At which point I said bad words.
    This, and the covers above, make me think about how terrifying it is that US foreign policy actions, and general US actions on the world stage, are going to have an enormous effect on the world, yet the people who choose the people who will make those decisions are making those decisions based on (from my p.o.v.) bizarre delusional shit unrelated to the actual issues the world faces…
    Meh.

  2. Damn you! Damn you repeatedly for always, ALWAYS making me feel like a dick for being an American.
    So in response, I post Lee Greenwoods song “Proud to be an American!*”
    If tomorrow all the things were gone,
    I’d worked for all my life.
    And I had to start again,
    with just my children and my wife.
    I’d thank my lucky stars,
    to be livin here today.
    ‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
    and they can’t take that away.
    And I’m proud to be an American,
    where at least I know I’m free.
    And I wont forget the men who died,
    who gave that right to me.
    And I gladly stand up,
    next to you and defend her still today.
    ‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
    God bless the USA.
    From the lakes of Minnesota,
    to the hills of Tennessee.
    Across the plains of Texas,
    From sea to shining sea.
    From Detroit down to Houston,
    and New York to L.A.
    Well there’s pride in every American heart,
    and its time we stand and say.
    That I’m proud to be an American,
    where at least I know I’m free.
    And I wont forget the men who died,
    who gave that right to me.
    And I gladly stand up,
    next to you and defend her still today.
    ‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
    God bless the USA.
    And I’m proud to be and American,
    where at least I know I’m free.
    And I wont forget the men who died,
    who gave that right to me.
    And I gladly stand up,
    next to you and defend her still today.
    ‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
    God bless the USA.
    (*the exclamation point is mine!)
    BUT, and it’s a HUGE “but,” this is what I’m dealing with:

  4. Dude, you don’t have to feel like a dick for being an American. I love America. I love Martin Luther King and Noam Chomsky and Hunter S. Thompson and the Pixies and Jack Kirby and on and on and on…
    I even love the Dancing Outlaw. He feels no pain.
