Yay! Media unbiasing...

[Hugin]

I couldn't believe my eyes...

It was beautiful, man... BEAUTIFUL!

I was sitting there watching my late night,
"Married (with children)" Peg and Al were
talking about pr0n when up pops a commercial
for one of the local fire and brimstone mega
monopoly extortion for God churches... The
irony made me laugh.

I *KNEW* it was a statement by someone at the
station when a few minutes later there was one
of those really offensive "Pro-birth" ads. (
Said something about how every third fetus in
the U.S. is aborted... Which is BS... BTW.)

The show continued and my eyes almost popped
out of my head... Kelly Bundy was babysitting
6 or 7 NIGHTMARE CHILDREN! I couldn't believe
it. I laughed and laughed.

Was this on purpose? I'd love to think so.

Hey, it's media balance at it's best.

1. Meanwhile, on CNN...

They're heavily on message for BushCo. Today seems worse than usual, but much of their advertising is now for issues ads for the telecom and energy industries, social security deform, etc. And, while Hemmer was reading his TelePromtr this morning, re: SS, he egged on his gues with GOP talking points, after the guy (a GOP supporter of Bush's plan, of course) didn't cheerlead loud enough..."But come on, Congressman, I can recall just five years ago -- (notice FIVE years, not four or three? Had to get into the Clinton years) -- five years ago it seem every other story we did here was about the imminent collapse of Social Security! So, are we to believe that the problem has gone away, or just isn't a crisis?" He gave the Congress-shill the little kick he needed to get back squarely on panic-mode.

Then they sequed into a commercial for the poor, downtrodden telecom industry, who'd be happy to let everyone in America have broadband if those mean old congressmen would let them, so you know, write your congressman and we might give everybody free broadband!

Disgusting...the media is getting more firmly entrenched with BushCo...they occasionally throw us a muckraking bone to make us think they're on the ball, but nothing could be farther from the truth.

4. My point being...

I couldn't believe someone had chosen to place those
ads in that show.

The content of the show completely defused the ads. They
lost any effect they might have had.

If it was done by accident... Do these people have any
idea the content of the shows where their ads are shown?
