An Open Letter To The Mainstream American Media

Hey, folks. Welcome in. See, 5 years later, you all have finally realized what many of us have known since at least 9/11: George Bush and his administration are completely incompetent. He's really nothing more than a puppet sent onstage to mouth the words "We're making progress!" and "America is strong and will be stronger!" The problem is, unlike many political puppets, his handlers actually believe what they have him say.

So you're finally starting to ask hard questions and call out G-Dub's bullshit. Good for you! It's a pity you've given him a free pass since 9/11, another massive disaster that he failed to do anything relevant about except make optimistic speeches. Had you actually been doing your job, you might have prevented say, a completely idiotic, insane, and futile war in Iraq, as well as his re-election as President Stupid. Not that I'm bitter or anything, but me and people like me have known that he was above and beyond incompetent, while you have marginalized us as "shrill," "partisan", or completely irrelevant.

But hey, bygones be bygones, you know? Pity it took yet another national disaster for you to figure this out.
