"It's not every day that you see a nation's leader not only fall on his sword, but, then, take the time to pick up a pike, mount it securely to the wall, back up, and then charge into the tip of that sharpened spear as well, and at full speed" said a well-known and respected host during an equally recognizable organization's news discussion program.
And this was only the beginning of the program. Even more ladles of steaming, chunky, even luxurious, honesty were being promised, in the run-down of guests and topics for discussion. The tape was never aired, of course, for a host of obvious reasons, and some oblique ones, too.
However, I got hold of this program after it was copied and sent around to me, and some others, by virtue of long-time friendships among the technical staff of a certain news group. You'd know the organization in an instant if you looked at the tape and saw the set, but I no longer have the tape, not that anyone believes me.
I burned it, because of what else I saw, and what I knew it meant.
However, to relieve your imagination, it was the not a tape from the Fox Game-Show-Hosts-and-Bald-Lies network, nor was it their opposite number -- oh, wait. There IS no opposite number to the right-wing's Extreme Lunacy Division, broadcast-wise.
That is only an opinion, of course, despite all the wailing and moaning we hear from the right about the all-powerful left-wing news establishment. News Alert to Right Wing Half-Wits: The Left Wing News Media died at the end of the Vietnam War. It's been All Right Wing, All the Time, ever since then.
I mean: How do you think we got here, where we are today, you bozos?
