Bob Gorrell shows that for dominant media coverage of Iraq, "No news is good news" means "Good news is no news."·

By Jim Wrenn,  Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com. 
July 13, 2008--

            A classic cartoon by Bob Gorrell, the sound of whose name is like "moral," shows how BHSº¹ so clearly affects how news-folks draw lessons or "morals."  Though "news" should state relevant facts, the nature of facts they redact shows why he derides they way they decide to tell what is "news" in Iraq.   This column's intended to serve some kudos to Bob for his verve to show how the news is skewed by their views that far from reality swerve.

            We've long heard that "good" news ain't "news"
in minds of reporters of news: That "bad" news is "news," but "good" news is viewed by many as "absence" of "news."   Yet often it's said that we should view the absence of news to be "good" news--  While waiting to learn the way fate has turned, we often say "no" news is "good" news.  The "saying" we've learned about "no" news asserting there's "good" news in "no" news applies in reverse in ways quite perverse where "con" news is "news" but not "pro" news.  You ask where the views about "no" news apply not to "con" news but "pro" news:   In "MSM" tracts on "news" in Iraq "reporters" think "good" news is "no" news.  

            This best was depicted by whom?   Bob Gorrell, whose classic cartoon shows "MSM" hacks think news in Iraq ain't "news" absent gloom if not doom.  You ask what's Bob Gorrell's "dot-com" displaying his 'toons with aplomb:  The internet "room" for Gorrell's cartoons is found at Creators-dot-Com.  The link there for Gorrell's cartoons: "Political" types of "cartoons."   The next link to click is "Gorrell," then pick '08 for Day 20 of June.

            It's clear what the "MSM" should do since news in Iraq's become "good" news:  For "no" news of gloom and "no" news of doom, report how the "no" news is "good news."   Instead, what they give us is faux news--  Their BHSº¹ gives them morose views of news that reflects the Dubya's success, which "good" news they deem to be "no" news.  "BHS" isn't new-- it has been known as standing for "Bush-Hating Syndrome," a Kostic Neurosis, if not a phychosis, that stemmed from their Bushdidn'twindrome.  Despite "BHS," there is good news:  That more folks are learning they should view the MSM news as "BHS" views to thus know their "no" news is "good" news.  They're learning the "surge" of Petraeus is vanquishing those who would slay us though "BHS" views as MSM "news" consistently claimed it would fail us.  They're learning the claims by elitists that all in Iraq would be bleakest unless we're retreat exposed the elites as blindly naive self-defeatists.  And thus, since Barack made his stand in claiming we'd failed in that land, the trend's become plain that more want McCain in charge when the bleep hits the fan.

            Perhaps as you're reading these lines, you find they're in rhythm and rhyme.  And if you prefer the format for verse, scroll-down for the stanzas in lines:  

A classic cartoon by Bob Gorrell,
the sound of whose name is like "moral,"
shows how BHSº¹ 
so clearly affects
how news-folks draw lessons or "morals."

Though "news" should state relevant facts,
the nature of facts they redact
shows why he derides
they way they decide
to tell what is "news" in Iraq.

This column's intended to serve 
some kudos to Bob for his verve 
to show how the news 
is skewed by their views 
that far from reality swerve.

We've long heard that "good" news ain't "news"
in minds of reporters of news:
That "bad" news is "news,"
but "good" news is viewed
by many as "absence" of "news."

Yet often it's said that we should view
the absence of news to be "good" news--
While waiting to learn
the way fate has turned,
we often say "no" news is "good" news.

The "saying" we've learned about "no" news 
asserting there's "good" news in "no" news 
applies in reverse 
in ways quite perverse 
where "con" news is "news" but not "pro" news.  

You ask where the views about "no" news  
apply not to "con" news but "pro" news:   
In "MSM" tracts  
on "news" in Iraq  
"reporters" think "good" news is "no" news.  

This best was depicted by whom?
Bob Gorrell, whose classic cartoon 
shows "MSM" hacks 
think news in Iraq 
ain't "news" absent gloom if not doom. 

You ask what's Bob Gorrell's "dot-com"  
displaying his 'toons with aplomb: 
The internet "room" 
for Gorrell's cartoons 
is found at Creators-dot-Com.  

The link there for Gorrell's cartoons: 
"Political" types of "cartoons." 
The next link to click is 
"Gorrell," then pick 
'08 for Day 20 of June. 

It's clear what the "MSM" should do
since news in Iraq's become "good" news: 
For "no" news of gloom
and "no" news of doom,
report how the "no" news is "good news."

Instead, what they give us is faux news--
Their BHSº¹ gives them morose views
of news that reflects
the Dubya's success,
which "good" news they deem to be "no" news.

"BHS" isn't new-- it has been known
as standing for "Bush-Hating Syndrome,"
a Kostic Neurosis,
if not a phychosis,
that stemmed from their Bushdidn'twindrome.

Despite "BHS," there is good news:
That more folks are learning they should view
the MSM news
as "BHS" views
to thus know their "no" news is "good" news.

They're learning the "surge" of Petraeus
is vanquishing those who would slay us
though "BHS" views
as MSM "news"
consistently claimed it would fail us.

They're learning the claims by elitists
that all in Iraq would be bleakest
unless we're retreat
exposed the elites
as blindly naive self-defeatists.

And thus, since Barack made his stand
in claiming we'd failed in that land,
the trend's become plain
that more want McCain
in charge when the bleep hits the fan.

--Jim Wrenn, Editor at PoliSat.Com.

º¹ "BHS" stands for "Bush-Hating Syndrome."  It's a clinical-psychology term describing a mental ailment rendering one suffering from it incapable of distinguishing between an imperfect good and perfect evil whenever the imperfect good is the goal or fruits of George W. Bush's strategery.
