Newspaper Consistency

Is it really necessary for newspapers to induce cognitive dissonance?

Can't they have Fred Hiatt read the Washington Post before writing for it?

And yes, I know all this human rights talk by Obama, Hiatt or The Washington Post is just for show. But even a show needs some consistency.

Did human rights even figure in the discussion? Waste of time, only important for the US press.

I noticed this very thing my own self, but I think I’m so used to psychedelic propagandizing that it doesn’t even occur to me to point it out to others anymore. The bastards must be wearing me down.
