THE MEDIA ISSUE: VOLUME 29, ISSUE 46
JACKASS NATION
by Malik Isasis
We have in the United States, a jackass media who day after day drop shit on the heads of the American people; the American people have been shat on for so long that they believe this is the way things are suppose to be—that it’s normal for a government to treat its citizens as consumers rather than citizens. The shadow government that are the global conglomerates have broken Americans like wild horses into believing that healthcare should be in the private sector, that we should have only two weeks of vacation a year, that college should not be attainable to the poor, and that unions are bad.
Current polls have McCain and Obama tied. How is this possible after 8 years of George W. Bush? How is this possible for McCain who voted with Bush 95% of the time to be tied with Obama? The answer is much simpler than the questions, Americans are jackasses. The corporate media has legitimized bigotry, xenophobia and sexism and has made it easier for the Southern voting block to operate proudly in their ignorance, completely unaware of the moral conflicts and consequences that their voting patterns have on domestic and foreign policy. The neocons have been successful at getting the corporate media to portray conservatism as the only value on the political spectrum. Conservatism is the new center.
The corporate media, its parent companies and their subsidiaries have benefited well from Bush policies—such as no bid contracts, laws that deregulated energy, and further deregulated the telecomm industries and war, war, war. So, when his twin John McCain comes along and espouses the same ideology, of course they are going to provide cover for the inarticulate, bumbling imperialist who hasn’t met a war he didn’t like. Corporations thrive off of chaos, which is why the big media supports Republicans.
It is clear that both the Democrats and Republicans serve the same false idol, big business, though the Democrats are less malevolent than their Republican counterpart; they the Democrats are so frightened and careful of being called political heretics that they have become paralyzed, despite having power imbued to them by voters to do something. But it is the political inaction of the American populace that best fit the description of the Florentine Itailan Poet, Dante Aligheiri’s passage, “The hottest place in hell are reserved for those who in a time of great crisis maintain their neutrality.”
Only in Bush world, John McCain and Barack Obama are tied in the polls, and only in Bush world are we a nation of Jackasses.
