Our media is pretty much a sad, dried up piece of dung. They sat idly by as the Bush Administration lied about intelligence and took us to war. Actually, they kind of gave Bush a wrap-around the while it was going on. They decided not to tell us about the Bush torture program for one whole year after it was uncovered. Their coverage of the current economic crisis has been woeful, to say the least. Those are just the big examples. The media is a shell of its former self and has basically become a national embarrassment. Nothing exemplifies how lame our media has become more than Liz Cheney.

Liz Cheney is the daughter of Dick Cheney. You may have possibly seen her spewing nonsense from her hate hole over the past couple of weeks because she has been invited on news program after news program to espouse torture and criticize President Obama. She is qualified, after all, because she was raised by a monster. And worst of all, she’s usually allowed to be the only guest, so her lying goes unchallenged, because our journalists are cowards and lack knowledge. Being the lone guest is considered a privilege and is reserved only for high officials and newsmakers, which she is not. She is someone’s daughter. The daughter of a man no one will defend. So, naturally, our media allows her to step up and defend dear old dad.

The media does not hold her feet over the fire and go after her father for his obvious war crimes. Instead, they allow her to go on the offensive against Obama and all things Democratic. The Cheney family plan is to attack as a defense. Our media’s complicity in this act is no different that their horrifying coverage leading up to the war. A wrong was committed, justice needs to be served and they are allowing the war criminal’s daughter to attack the president on our airwaves. A new low? It’s pretty pathetic.

The exciting thing about a democracy is that if our government won’t take the appropriate action, our media is supposed to step up and do their job. That then informs the masses and pressure is put upon the government and problems, like war criminals running about, are resolved. In this case, the war criminal’s daughter is the one running the narrative. How awesome is that?



Stick around, Pol Pot’s daughter chimes in after the break!

There’s nothing quite like the daughter of a war criminal accusing the current president of “hand-holding” terrorists and then watching as the “journalist” does not tear her a new asshole. Kudos. I’d like to note here that during Obama’s speech he backed up the use of troops in Afghanistan because terrorists are “determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can,” and re-committed to destroying terror networks. He just didn’t throw down support for anally raping boys. Dear "Journalist" here's a possible follow up question:

Liz, you claim Obama is “hand-holding” terrorists, but while your father was in office, women and children were raped by interrogators. Are you saying Obama should continue with the rape?

Imagine. The. Answer.

And it’s not like this is an isolate incident. The woman has been all over the media. Just check out what she’s been up to since May 12th.

Embarrassing. There is no excuse for having the daughter of Dick Cheney on television. None. She’s worthless and a liar.

Oh, wait. Turns out there is an awesome reason.

She’s a great guest. It’s awesome when a guest can come on and lie about her daddy's involvement in the most important issues facing our country.
