When the very same meme often with the very same words, is used all day by various newsreaders . . . [View All]

. . . how can that be construed as anything but the company line being implemented?

Today, MSNBC is asking each and every guest if telling the base to "buck up" and "stop whining" is helping or hurting the Democrats.

Here's my take: Asking the question *was* legit - back when the words were said. Most people have moved on. So, as interest/"outrage" over the remarks begins to flag, MSNBC sees their job as stirring the shit pot. Watch MSNBC today and see if you notice how often this is "innocently" interjected into on air "conversations" (actually, fully scripted vignettes).

They do this a lot. One such example that continued until just recently, and which I've posted about before, was calling the upcoming ethics hearings for Rangel and Waters "trials". There is no such thing as a trial for them in the offing. And yet, there is good old MSNBC - seen by so many as the bastion of liberal reportage - calling them trials, or word with no other purpose than to make the two seem to be criminals, even as they have yet to be charged with malfeasance by anything but a political body.

The only time you don't get this subtle but well thought out propaganda is when their liberal hosts are on. As cover, the network seems to mostly allow their night time lineup to say whatever they wish so as to maintain their liberal bonafides. There have, however, been instances where these night time hosts, quite inexplicably, have just avoided a topic rather than go against the company line.

By the way, looking ahead, here is another meme they're starting: Should the Dems celebrate if they lose seats in both houses but still maintain control?

What a bullshit question. OF COURSE they should. The fact is, conventional wisdom says the party of a first term president loses control of at least part of the Congress in the new president's first midterm. If the Dems hold both houses, the fact is, against conventional wisdom, that is a HUGE win.

Subtle but relentless - that's your "friends" at "liberal" MSNBC - worse than Fox.
