It is pathetic that GOPPERS can do almost anything and they stay in power and are protected by the MSM. Dems get a hang nail and they get trashed. Christie could probably just about commit murder and he is praised. Things are so distorted you wonder if we will ever get out of this mess.

(45,319 posts)you see what I see, Christie under hard fire, not convincing anyone. The editorials and cartoons were merciless.
Do you have any examples of this pro Christie stuff you say you see? Cause I have not seen anything positive toward him at all, nothing.

We've been sold another shiny while rights are being taken away and not reported, while a disaster in WVA goes without a mention; while public schools continue to be trashed. The GOP is digging us a hole we will find almost impossible to climb back of in generations to come.

(11 posts)Not sure what you're getting at. I've actually been giddy as hell so far with how much the press has dug into him. I must've refreshed google news 1000 times since yesterday and read a few hundred articles. My only fear is that it's so far ahead of the 2016 race, that voters will end up forgetting about it. But hopefully there's more to come.
But favorable to him? I've seen anything but that so far. Even the regular news outlets like CNN (I mainly listen to MSNBC in my car, but switch to CNN during commercials) have torn into him and his bs story. Usually, they always take the "gotta sound fair" frustrating as hell role with stories, but they've actually pleasantly surprised me with how they've covered it so far.

(32,029 posts)They're actually all pretty much saying "you suck Christie" - even FAUX news which is a miracle.
My theory is that the hard-core repugs don't like him any more than we do.
Meanwhile, they are trying to fasttrack TPP through Congress and the good folks in WV can't drink their water. They aren't covering that nearly as thoroughly.
