Time after time the right-wing tries to rewrite their own history and the media is allowing it to happen. The most recent case was Rudy Giuliani, who stated on Network television that we had No domestic attacks under Bush, but we’ve had one under Obama. This is the man who became a household name after 911 by making a political living off of the disaster. Now we are supposed to believe he made a misstatement or gaffe, I don’t think so, this and others are politically calculated attempts to erase the public’s memory of any and all things bad that happened under the Bush administration.This is not an isolated case either, Dana Perino, Bush’s former White House press Secretary has made the same claim on Sean Hannity’s show on the Fox network, of course she wasn’t called out for it there, since Sean never questions anything that comes out of fellow ideologue’s mouth. But in the case of Rudy on Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos who interviewed Rudy let this go by without question? This “rewriting of history” as I call it is occurring more and more on the so-called mainstream television networks without redaction or revisions. The Right has their Propaganda machine in Fox as does the left with MSNBC, but to allow these out and out LIES and I do mean lies they aren’t misstatements or mistakes, to creep into the mainstream news is an outrage and needs to be addressed. Another bunch is the Cheney’s, with every breathe they take, Dick Cheney and his daughter try to further blur our memories of what happened just a few short years back. Do they take us for brainless illiterate fools? We report you decide!
Not a mistake
