Just one more thing to think about. Which of these two stories was given more airtime?

1. Some two-bit preacher who wanted to burn a religious book (without the MSM attention, he would have been some unknown, eccentric preacher with as much political/social pull as the snake handling preachers):

http://abcnews.go.com/US/terry-jones-pastor-burn-koran-day/story?id=11575665

OR this

2. Bailout/Wall Street protests. Something that really did affect most Americans:

————–

The only mention I ever saw of these protests on CNBC was during the initial moments of a Fast Money show where one of the anchors mentioned something about “what it looked like outside — like the parking lot at a Grateful Dead show.” Never mentioned what he was specifically referring to (thousands of protestors who were opposed to bailing out banks), and the subject was dropped after that brief comment.

If you ever wonder who controls the MSM, and who guides “national thought,” think about who/what was threatened by those bailout protests.

Also, in the early days of the bailout revolution, a lot of attention was turning to the issue of “domestic terrorism,” which I’m sure would have included those pesky Tea Party members if the PTB wasn’t able to turn them around with their diversionary tactics.

One more, then I promise to stop. 😉

Why was the failure of Lehman Brothers hearalded as the *cause* of the financial crisis, when it was really the result of the financial crisis?

It’s like they are trying to convince the masses that the govt should bail out all large financial institutions, and that if we did this, everything would be okay (“we can never let the failure of a large financial firm happen again!”).

Instead, we should be focused on regulations that prevent these risks from being taken, even if that means financial firms would be far, far less profitable. The banking/financial system should exist to allow productive businesses to transact with one another; they should not exist for the enrichment of the banking system itself, IMHO.
