night, right after ryan's speech, and they talked about how EFFECTIVE it was. the best even ODonnell could do in response to the HUGE lie about obama stealing 7 hundred billion from medicare, was tha the answer is "complicated," and the repubs usually win on the simple vs. complicated dilemma, cause most news consumers have no attention span

I was very disappointed in their lack of outrage at what was said by Ryan. was the rest of the coverage similarly different than what they've been showing lately?


they didn't accuse him of lying, misspeaking, exaggerating one time, only praised the effectivness of his message, and predicted the dems would have a hard time counteracting it

nice try, though
