The New Yorker has received much criticism lately because of it's cartoon magazine cover which depicts Barack Obama and his wife as anti-American Muslim extremists. Even the media (such as Fox News,CNN,MSNBC) denounced it. They called it tasteless, offensive, and unfunny. Whats ironic is that these news channels are very quick to accuse the New Yorker for depicting Obama in a negative way, when they themselves have been doing the very same thing since the beginning of the election. CNN did a story a while back which accused Obama of being educated in Muslim radicalism. MSNBC did an interview in which they accused him of being a flag hater. Fox news even went as far as to say that Barack and his wife did a "terrorist fist bump". I digress. My main point here is that the news media is very two-faced.They attack Obama with outrageous stories and accusation, but when someone else does it all of a sudden its blasphemy. It just goes to show that you cannot trust the media at all.
"History isn't the way the corporate controlled media made it look like it,
Read between the lines and free your mind,
Revolution is the birth of equality and the anti-thesis to oppression."
