They Should Call It "The CBS Evening Stalinism With Dan Rather"

Like most gigantic corporations, CBS has a left-wing, socialistic agenda. That's obvious. Throughout history, huge corporations have been the prime proponents of Bolshevism. (In the present day, I'd say the most left-wing institution on earth is probably Wal-Mart. Either them or Lockheed Martin.)

Everyone now knows the lengths to which Dan "Trotsky" Rather will go in his attempts to destroy the president. But what some people may have forgotten is that this is JUST WHAT THEY DID TO NIXON.

Think back to 1973. The supposed Watergate "scandal" was running out of steam, no matter how hard it was pushed by Soviet dupes like Woodward and Bernstein. But then CBS sprang into action at the bidding of their masters in the Kremlin. They produced a two part special on the bogus charges. It was filled with the kind of distortion and groundless innuendo that comes naturally to those who learned their trade at Uncle Joe Stalin's knee. This was the beginning of the end for Richard Nixon and his courageous stand for individual liberty and eliminating the genetically unfit.

Of course, it wasn't long before the historical revisionism began. People who were "there" and had "firsthand" "knowledge" of what "happened" will tell you that this account is a total "fabrication." For instance, Walter “Hammer & Sickle” Cronkite claims the Watergate special was perfectly accurate – but that after the first part was broadcast, William Paley, the Chairman of CBS, ordered that the second part be turned into a whitewash before it could be aired. They'll even tell you Paley did this as the result of pressure from Nixon himself!

This is just the kind of tall tale loved by the secular humanists and their natural allies, the Islamo-fascists. Whipped into a frenzy by their hatred of America, they’ll say the idea that any huge corporation is left wing is preposterous, and that in fact the corporate media is centrist or right wing -- just as you would expect, even without evidence like the Paley story.

This can be very seductive, because it "makes sense." After all, if the media is so liberal, it seems weird that they let all those people attacking it as liberal go on TV all the time. You’d think that an actual liberal media would keep them off the air. You might even believe a real liberal media would be filled with people condemning it as too conservative!

Fortunately, with heavy doses of aversion therapy this type of critical reasoning can be overcome -- just as electroshock has helped me overcome my constant, overpowering desire to touch other men. Let me tell you, if I can get married and force myself to father several children, all the while engaging in anonymous gay sex on average only three times a month, you’ll certainly have no problem eliminating the parts of your psyche that cause you to think improper thoughts.

Where was I? Oh yes, Dan Rather and the liberal media. The point is, we must forget all American history and fill ourselves with irrational, bizarre hatred towards other Americans. It is only in this way that we can truly love America.

Thank goodness for the Republicans, who have made it possible for God-fearing true patriotic Americans to travel from Texas to North Dakota without ever seeing one of those Islamo-fascist-terrorist-liberal-left-wing-commie traitors. Hurrah for the Red State Corridor! Pretty soon we'll get rid of those bastards on either side of us in Pinkofornia and Taxachusetts so that our flag can fly free once more!

I have been reading your blog for some time. I really struggled with this post as it progressed furthur and furthur into sarcasm. It muddied the point. Please keep up the good work and keep your sense of humour focused. It is desperately needed.

Ted,

You better not be being ironic. While I've never encountered irony myself, I understand that's something they have on the godless coasts, like mandatory beastiality.

Joshua,

Thanks for your thoughts. I do have a tendency to lose focus and go berserk, and while I recognize this I can't always keep it in check. If you feel like mentioning specifics, please do so, either here or to me directly at tinyrevolution[at]yahoo[dot]com.
