William Safire, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and virtually every other supposedly "legitimate" news organization in the United States, as good as ignored the pardons of the key Iran-Contra figures who could have testified about George Herbert Walker Bush's involvement as Vice President and former director of the CIA, in supplying arms to the Nicaraguan contras through CIA offices in San Salvador, in violation of the Congressional order of 1984, expressly prohibiting it. The complicity of the news media with the Reagan/Bush administrations' illegal activities involving Iran Contra is still, to this day, appalling beyond belief.

Not only do we get the government we deserve, but we get the double standards from the media we deserve. Voting "centrist and moderate" means voting for Republicans and New Democrat Republicans, who are "moderately" stripping us of our civil rights, a few at a time.
