London Terror! Plamegate unravels! NBC Today Show: couple discusses farts
Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 07:18 AM by HamdenRice
This is what was on NBC this morning as I flipped channels looking for news about London and Plamegate.

But this is what the MSM considers to be important -- something like 10 minutes on some stupid made up contest involving couples getting married on TV and the gaseous bowel habits of one of the contestants.

3. At last this is getting some serious play in the MSM.
Enough with all this supreme court and Karl Rove noise and blather.
What I really want to see on my morning news is a serious panel discussion of farts.
It's about damned time!

4. Think of it this way = they go for the common denominator - you are
above the common - the common denominator doesn't vote, therefore, mainstreams can provide few or no issues, unless it is propaganda that they have promised the right wing they will deliver as a public service to the reich.

5. Now I understand, it makes perfect sense ...
because most of what "passes" for news in the MSM are "gaseous emissions" anyway.

6. Obviously the MSM watches Nickelodeon
They have a segment (or they did recently) in between shows that explains 'everybody farts'-it's a good sign of a healthy body. It was pretty hilarious actually, when I think of it in comparison to the MSM.

9. Today on Hardball: Is the Smeller the Feller?
Our panel of experts discuss whether the first person to cut the cheese is actually the one to do it. And later, is Hillary/Bill/ Libruls the first to smell it?
