Well, when Michael Vick pleaded guilty to federal charges & served 21 months in prison, did we all allow ourselves to be befuddled by a lying headline like the one I posted above? The Atlanta Falcons Corporation was not guilty in the least of dogfighting. Still we let the corporate controlled media lie to us constantly about the nature of crime in America. It's even called "corporate crime" as if no real people are involved!
When eleven workers were murdered by oil company executives looking to maximize profits and earn monster bonuses we didn't hear a single name of one of the murderers. Instead all we got was "BP oil spill". When Wall Street, the real estate market, and the credit card industry nearly collapsed the world economy through fraudulent deals meant only to enhance short term profits that justified insane remuneration for criminals did we hear the name of a single person charged with the crimes they committed? Nope, instead the very teabagger real estate moghuls, mortgage brokers, CEOs, Wall Street gangsters, and political gamesters who nuked our economy get a monster trillion $$$ bailout, higher profits than ever, and absolute immunity from prosecution because "AIG" did it, or "IndyMac" did it, or "Lehman Brothers" did it. Well, if that's true then the Michael Vick case was an injustice to him. The Atlanta Falcons organization should have been fined a few thousand dollars and Mr Vick's name should never have been mentioned! Or just maybe we should name names and charge REAL criminals!
