Welcome to BNN, the bathroom news network. We bring you the world because… well, it happens to be on my shower curtain.
Bathroom News Network Debate News Report
I’m J. Clifford, and I’m a new affiliate station of the Bathroom News Network joining Jim in his bathroom, from my studio here… in my bathroom.
We’re broadcasting news from our bathrooms because, well, somebody’s got to broadcast the news, and it certainly won’t be the mainstream news networks.
One week ago today, the President of the United States acknowledged that he authorized a meeting of his Cabinet members with the purpose of approving specific torture techniques. The President didn’t just know about this meeting. George W. Bush actually admitted to a journalist last Friday that “I approved it.”
Well, just a few days after that amazing admission of a felony criminal conspiracy came from the President of the United States himself, ABC News held what would probably be the final Democratic presidential debate of 2008.
Did the ABC News moderators, Charles Gibson and George Stephanopolous, ask about what President George W. Bush revealed about a White House torture conspiracy? No. Not once during the entire debate was a single question relating to this astonishing news asked.
Not once were the words “torture” or “interrogation” uttered by anyone. Never did the subject come up.
George Stephanopolous and Charles Gibson did make sure, however, to take up several minutes of the debate grilling Barack Obama about how much he loves the American flag, and asking pointed questions about why he wears a flag lapel pin sometimes, but not absolutely all the time.
Question after question was asked by the ABC News moderators about inconsequential issues, such as what Barack Obama thought about a bombing that took place when he was eight years old, but the present Constitutional Crisis created by a President openly violating federal laws, treaties, and the very Bill of Rights was ignored.
That’s ironic, because the debate itself was held in the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
I don’t have giant corporations funding this news report. I don’t have production crews. I don’t have a staff of writers telling me what to say. As you can see, I don’t have a makeup team to help me look good on camera.
Yet, I can read. I can listen. I can think for myself. As a citizen of the United States, I can still speak. If ABC News won’t broadcast on the important issues of the day, then someone has to do it.
If I have to make a video in my bathroom in order to get the news out… well, that’s what I’ll do.
Signing off, because it’s time for me to brush my teeth, this is J. Clifford from BNN, the Bathroom News Network.
Thanks!
