See, this is where the internet changes *everything*. In the old days when the media buried a story, it was buried. You would never see it again. Gone. Oh, the reporter might give some lectures at leftist colleges or something, but the story was basically gone from the public sphere.
Now, you don't need to be the New York Times to make something available to everyone in the world. And you can put up the source documents. And when the Corporate Media shut you down, you put that up, too.
So here's the evidence that Thomas White is a lying, thieving crook [scoop.co.nz] -- next in line after scumbag Harvey Pitt to lose his job and spend years in court.
And here's the story of just how pathetic Salon.com is, and how the New York Times covered up for White's lying, thieving ways [scoop.co.nz].
Of course you can't read about this sort of thing in the American media, but until they can destroy the internet, there's hope. Maybe they can get to the New Zealand site, sure. But now the story is out in the search engines, and linked to and mirrored all over the place. If they get to Scoop, a website in Germany will publish the story. If they get to the German site, a Czech site will publish it. See the picture? Even the Bush gang can't kill stories fast enough to keep up with the internet.
Of course White's still got a job, but then so does Pitt -- today.

Angry Pollster denies 'cooking books' (licentious): Denying that his company is "cooking the books" to show a lead for Republican candidates, a pollster points to the complexity of vote forecasting: "It's not just who is registered, or who says they'll vote on any given day! It also matters whether they'll be allowed to vote, and whether the vote will be counted, and whether ballot boxes will be stuffed post facto to make up for unpredicted Democratic votes."

George W. Bush's televised address to the nation
(licentious): Let me be frank. You know what I stand for -- erasing freedom, attacking women and minority rights, starting wars, destroying the world economy, enriching my cronies, wasting the environment like it was a wedding party in Afghanistan.... So I'm gonna be straight with the rest of you tonight: vote Republican, or we'll do to you and your family what we did to California and Afghanistan, and what we're going to do to Iraq as soon as the weather cools off over there.

Jesse Ventura receives prestigious, licentious award (licentious): According to Jesse: "Infantile numbskulls with no sense of proportion don't get mad, we screw you any and every way we can."

You probably didn't know this because of the Liberal-Bias media in this country, but there was an anti-anti-war rally on the same day as hundreds of thousands of anti-war protesters marched.
About fourteen people showed up.
Here's a picture [democraticunderground.com].

This is the one that cracked me up yesterday -- everybody in the cafe turned to look:
"For the sake of Florida taxpayers, for the sake of Florida schoolchildren, for the sake of dignity and integrity in the office of governor, send Jeb Bush back to Tallahassee."
I ask you, could a satirist do any better than that?

And just in case you thought maybe "compliance" would get through to Microsoft, here's a line from a Microsoft job posting:
"* Demolish competition by knowing everything they do and thwarting their every move in the relevant spaces"
"Demolish competition" is exactly what they must not say.

Oopsy. Microsoft should have been buying European politicians, too. Judge KK saved her job with a ruling that will please the Appeals Court, but the European Union still has an anti-trust case going.
The Europeans will be a lot more expensive to buy, too. Figure the main thing Microsoft did for the government was give the NSA a backdoor into every Windows computer, and *that* isn't going to sit well with any foreign government. So the EU is rushing to switch to an operating system that won't give away their secrets to the Americans.
The man who was such a complete, utter failure at making Microsoft products secure is now at the White House, in charge of computer security recommendations for Bush. Mind boggling. In the U.S., of course, the fix is in. Incompetence matters little compared with ideology and lack of integrity. But the EU is a different game, and maybe people who are accustomed to winning with a stacked deck will have a harder time if somebody else shuffles the cards.
