Anti Dem Media Slant

Even on MSNBC. The "all republicans, all the time" coverage aside, it's obvious the M$M knows what side it's bread is buttered on. Chris Jansing was interviewing Debbie Wasserman-Schultz about Romney. Schultz started to describe Romney as a "corporate raider". She got as far as "corporate rai..." and Jansing immediately started talking LOUDLY over Schultz! Less than 30 secons later, the ssame thing happened, this time Schultz kept talking apparently hoping Jansing would get the message, but no. You had about 20 seconds of two people talking at once, Jansing getting ever louder trying to drown out Schultz. Completely disrespectful, unprofessional, and disgusting. The next guest on Jansing had no such problem. It was Herman Cain. "So nice to see you"! Not once was he interrupted, let alone have his own issues mentioned.

It's official. The 1% controls the media message. They own it. The good news- Occupy owns the streets.

tried to badger her today also.. i seldom watch MSNBC before Ed... the problem with occupy owning the streets, (dont get me wrong i love them), is that few americans will seek out the truth if it requires much effort..

Posted a poll on the screen during the Schultz interview showing Romney beating Obama in Florida by like 3 points. Cain was treated like royalty.

To another - Occupy forced M$M to cover their message. And they are only growing. Wait till spring.

...I was glued to Ustream watching the eviction of Occupy LA. The peoples reporter, Freedom, did an outstanding job, worthy of the combat journalists in Vietnam from my day. The danger was real, she would have put a smile on their face.

Emphasis on certain words in a report, for example, unemployment coupled with Obama. It's undeniable, unless your a ditto head, in which case you can deny anything.
