And they weren't talking about the horrendous Republican Gov't Shutdown, either - which they should have. Oh no. They were talking about Healthcare.gov, over and over and over and over . . .
The Republican Gov't Shutdown was immediately taken off their list of talking points the moment it was over. No reportage about the costs in dollars. No reportage about the 190,000 jobs that were lost because of it. No reportage about how this could affect GDP and our economy. And definitely NO holding accountable those who are responsible for threatening the full faith and credit of this country - the Republican Party.
Heck no.
It's all about Healthcare.gov's roll out; trying to conflate the failure of Healthcare.gov to roll out as smooth as a baby's bottom with the PPACA law without mentioning that part of the reason was the overload from applicants in Republican controlled States that have refused to open their own exchanges.
Corporate Media refused to report that CGI, the company responsible for this massive undertaking of setting up Healthcare.gov has a track record of failure;
refused to report that the HHS had asked for but was refused additional funding to expand on the website when those Republican-controlled States refused to open their own exchanges;
refused to report that CGI was contracted under GWBush in 2001, and in 2007 received a no-bid contract for ten years;
refused to report that CGI backed Republicans with their PACs over Democrats in 2012;
and only made a half-hearted attempt to report that CGI worked on the Medicare Part D site that was even more disastrous than Healthcare.gov.
It's clear which Party American Corporate Media are being told to support. They've have received their instructions: Do a Clinton witch hunt on Obama so we can get another "compassionate conservative" like GWBush in the WH, and take the Senate.
I'm so sick of the brainwashing in this country. 
The Never Show.
I hate it.
Mr Pipi gets up before I do, and used to have it on. I am NOT a morning person, so coming out to be greeted by tons of Lame, and that infernal screeching the people are doing out in front of the studio really put me in a horrible mood. It's obnoxious with a capital O.
He now leaves off the TV and turns the radio on instead.
Now I become civilized a whole lot sooner in the AM.
