.... but we are the majority.
But the entertainment and news industry has been working 24/7/365 to kill off that fact.
Rick Santorum wants to ban contraception and that is something >70% of American
women use during their lifetime. Not a peep about this in the media.
Basic cable fills a huge % of their programing w/ dumb ass "good old boys" having
interpersonal problems "in the woods/swamps/gold mines/dealing w/ varmints," and
how will some rich couple spend their money on a 2nd vacation home on some tropical
beach along with CNN, Fox, & some of MSNBC pushing a right wing agenda.
Mitt Romney made his money putting Americans out of work and yet when asked about this
he goes with out a challenge when he babbles about "don't you support free enterprise?"
Americans care more about jobs then the size of the federal deficit but Cantor/McConnell/
Paul Ryan can go on the news and talk about how the size of debt is the most important
problem facing America.
Please forgive me but ..... WE ARE THE MAJORITY but money and the media make it seem
like we are some sort of liberal fringe.
please excuse any mistakes on this post.

(67,008 posts)regrettable. We are about the most propagandized nation on earth, and sadly I really don't think many people realize how much they are being duped by MSM and USA, Inc.
Your comment on cable being ... "Basic cable fills a huge % of their programing w/ dumb ass "good old boys" having interpersonal problems "in the woods/swamps/gold mines/dealing w/ varmints," and how will some rich couple spend their money on a 2nd vacation home on some tropical beach along with CNN, Fox, & some of MSNBC pushing a right wing agenda." ... was right on target!
I just cut my cable and went to local broadcasting via HDTV. At least that's free. My basic cable here is already $60 and I just got a letter saying some of their charges for some stations are going to double. If I'm having to watch sh** on TV, I might as well see free sh**. I've flipped through cable a number of times and concluded I have no interest in watching woods/swamps/gold mines/dealing w/ varmints, etc. And people spending zillions for houses, and others tearing apart good houses to promote the sponsors $$$.
You said it well, MSM promotes the majority as some far out left wing fringe. Damn, I wish we could pull the plug on MSM and wake Americans out of this inane la la America.
Excellent post IMO!!!

(1,361 posts)I get Amy on Free Speech and Link and Al Jareeza too. Plus lots of great documentaries from the liberal perspective. Current gives me Countdown and TYT. TYT discussed the issue of where the American people are vs. what the MSM says on Friday. Dish is worth every cent. I would need to pay more in therapy if I didn't have Dish.

Ads just need to say "Rick Santorum will end Social Security!"
Mitt Romney's actions put XXX Americans out of work.
And repeat and repeat and repeat.
I soooooo wish I had gobs of money and could produce spots and buy air time for the PACs.

(20,600 posts)good choice. What I mean is I'm not really a wine drinker, but if I must have some I would prefer white zinfandel.
Please!!!!! If you want a crisp slightly sweet white wine go for an American
(Washington, Oregon, California, or Idaho) gewurztraminer.
Outstanding in paper cups along w/some cheese, fruit, and a super model of your
choice.

(70,219 posts)The story about Clinton's people stealing the "w keys" from the
keypads @ the White House as they were leaving phony.
Al Gore saying, "I invented the internet." False.
The fact that 25% of the registered voters in Cuyahoga County, Ohio (Cleveland)
were removed prior to the 2004 election and that accounted for 250,000 votes
more than double bush's margin of victory has almost never seen the light of day
in the media except for one Bill Moyers show, Keith Olbermann's show, and scattered
"liberal outlets." BTW Cuyahoga County BOE workers were arrested, indicted, and
were tried and convicted of rigging the recount too. A republican judge let them
off w/ no penalty on appeal.
Eric Cantor's, "My office was hit by gunfire," line of phony bullshit has never been
publicly challenged.
So much of the media is just a lie factory for special interests.
