You too can hear three lies in three minutes. Anyone can play this game. Just turn on your TV, limit your viewing to 180 seconds and use your remote like Toscanini used his baton.
On A B C I heard George Will, that superannuated gas bag salt the dead carcass of the United States by saying that everyone knows Reagan’s vision that the free market offers the best means of handling the economy and that’s the way to go, etc. etc.
On N B C I heard Lindsey Graham, the king of mush mouth G.O.P. toxic salesmanship announce that the only thing that needs to be done for the U.S. economy is to open lines of credit for people who want tu buy cars. Man talk about Typhoid Mary meets your used auto dealer! Who lets these people have a microphone?
And of course that’s the third lie: the Sunday news roundup programs are largely run by corporate apologists and Washington bubble children who grew up under the Reagan-ite beanstalk and accordingly now carry on as though the disaster we’re in is just a matter of the government spending less and then, as a reward our good old corporate pals will open their secret spigots and all will be ducky in Oz.
I’m going to take a shower and wash off the pixellated cooties. God Save the United States from its Washington pundits.
