Challenging Corporate Media To The Limit

/snip/
I would then go on to tell listeners that if what they want is pro-administration propaganda, they can wait for the commercial-laden evening lineup on MSNBC, where no one will ask for a contribution and where Democratic Party cheerleaders will more than sate their appetite. I might warn them, though, that by the time Rachel Maddow comes on, they will be looking at serious indigestion.

If I am still not cut off, I’d tell them that since even she can’t find much good to say anymore about Barack Obama and his appointees, they should expect their pro-administration propaganda to come mainly in the form of reports about Republican idiocies.

There are enough of them to keep MSNBC’s pundits going and going and going.

This is what makes MSNBC unique among mainstream, corporate propaganda outfits: it can sometimes be amusing.

Every freaking problem in the world, from oversalted soup to undersalted nuts, is of the President's making. He's a masterful dictator controlling all the Estates and a stumble bum titular head of a towering mass of incompetency. How does he do it? Toss a coin and pick which one you want him to be at the moment. You can't be a cool kid if you don't criticize immediately and incessantly. No one else need to be held responsible for anything, good or bad, in this world as long as this man is in that office.
