mainstream media is a joke

[Cane4Dems]

i've been watching the nightly news segments on the main channels and other than cbs none of them mentioned anything about republicans fabricating quotes in the benghazi emails/or ABC publishing the fake quotes in their stories.......its such an embarrassment that these media outlets can't properly investigate something

also i find it amusing that when discussing the IRS scandal these outlets don't ever mention that liberal groups were targeted as well

these guys just seem so giddy bashing Pres. Obama and his administration even though they have no facts in their hands

just my two cents on the ineptitude of the supposedly "liberal" media

[kentuck]

1. Mob Mentality...

One of them reports an inflammatory or controversial story, true or false, and they all jump on the wagon. Especially if it is reported by a Republican. They receive instant credibility.

2. Can we please not call it "Mainstream Media". It's clearly Corp-Media.

Take a deep breath and welcome corporate fascism.

11. Not to mention that many of their owners / major stock holders are the same .......

people/conglomerates that are owners/major stock holders of GOP co.
Believing what they tell you gives them all the more power to tell you what to believe.
Same as it ever was.

3. The M$M takes press releases and uncorroborated rumors, for the most part, fancies them up a bit

and gets a presentable newsreader to stick his/her face in front of a camera for dessemination paid for by corporate sponsers.

There's not one thing I regret not seeing by not having a tv.

5. there is nothing funny about the suppression of facts in a democracy.

imho

6. Outside of MSNBC,

I doubt there has been much talk about how much taxpayer money the GOP has wasted in voting 37 times to repeal Obamacare. THAT right there is a true scandal--spending everyone's hard-earned money on a vote that they know is futile, just out of personal spite.

7. The only reason RWers think the media is liberal, is they occasionlly report FACTS.

Earth, round. Planet, warming. Humans, evolved-- not plopped down as is 6,000 years ago.

Iraq? Yeah, guess there were no WMDs.

Facts.

Since the entire right wing reality depends on a fact-free zone, any confrontation with actual pieces of true infromation leads to an accusation of "liberal bias".

But the corporate-owned media is NOT "liberal".

8. yes it is.

9. they suck so bad and i hope history judges them as being so bad

i hope things are better then that this period will be looked at as a time of shame for the media. imagine if we had these people covering ww2 .

i watch cnn and some other "reporters" and i wonder how the fuck did they get hired. how can they suck so bad ?

10. They're waiting for Rupert Murcoch & Michelle Bachmann

to verify the legitimacy ...
