TALKING POINTS:*
OURS: Things we should talk about.
THEIRS: Things they want us to to talk about, so we don't have to talk about what we should talk about. Their best talking point: There are no talking points and they better not get out.
Another name for talking points?
Bu-- Sh--, either way you abbreviate it.
What we need is a B.S. filter, a gold standard filter for news.
Could it be Air America Radio?
Could I nominate Jon Stewart as chief or first anchor for a Real News Network?
Media Matters is certainly working in that direction as well as the Center for American Progress and TruthOut.org
Even post-Bush we will have more Bu--sh-- to deal with.
Maybe we can use more than one filter, maybe we just need a reality bug, as in a Reality Certified Logo. Heck, could we settle for "Fair and Balanced Certified", so that we can really decide?
*I provided the Talking Points link above as I am sure they are doing part of the job I describe, but I do my own filtering of filters and this distinction/denial is not just a DeLay tactic or "talking point" or Rather pun.
