MSNBC just did a 15 min segment on the white house dinner last night

[rainy]

and comedians that roast the Presidents. Not a mention of Steven Colbert. This is a major shut out and it is so blatant that is is appalling.

[Orrex]

1. Two words: Liberal Media

Mr. Colbert would be well advised to avoid taking any flights until this all blows over.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Yeah .... amazing, huh?

Gutless fuckers.

[Fridays Child]

3. CNN just did cuts from both Colbert and that impersonator.

Nothing controversial, however.

[lavenderdiva]

6. I just saw that....

they only aired the 'lighter' moments of Colbert's tirade, such as intro to Mayor Nagin, 'we are in a chocolate city with a marshmallow center' comment. At least they aired some of it anyway.

I guess all the 'liberal' news people got together and decided to just ignore the whole thing, huh? Too bad, because I think everyone should see it, it was fabulous!

[matt819]

8. But look at the headline on cnn.com

Impostor steals the show.

[Ian David]

18. Very true! Impostor stole the whole country, too! n/t

[Arugula Latte]

27. Good point!

:thumbsup:

[Fridays Child]

30. Either CNN doesn't know the difference between imposter and impersonator

or someone there knew exactly what they were doing when the used the word "imposter."

[rodeodance]

14. well, they aired only the W double yesterday/night. Took them awhile.

[opihimoimoi]

23. Colbert confirmed!!! The Media has been Comped...Amazing this could happen

in America....but then, we do have what seems like a dictatorship in power disguising itself with SPIN and BS that they are not...

[emulatorloo]

4. Mr. Rove's dialing fingers and threatening voice must be real tired EOM

[Karenca]

5. Cnn just did too....they mentioned Colbert----showed him

with some of his statements...the statements were cut in such a way that it ended up just sounding like a good-natured roast.

[stopbush]

7. Yep. MSGOP is playing bush + double clips every 3 minutes.

Boy. That bush sure is funny! He's such a down-home guy! And he can take a joke...as long as he approved it!

I'm so happy those 2400 troops have died to preserve bush's right to tell jokes while they're bleeding! I say we
start a new war in Iran! Just imagine the funny jokes that will come out of that one!

[ShortnFiery]

9. Oh this sucks ... I'm so sick of these Corporate Media WHORES!

:puke:

[C_U_L8R]

10. They are proving Colbert's point

they are lazy-ass suck-ups
whose only role in this world
is to spellcheck

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Well ..... spell check ......

..... and edit out the stoopit shit.

[Sparkly]

11. AMAZING, wasn't it??

I have NEVER seen the media completely ignore the main speaker at the WHCD that way. Speaks volumes.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

13. Apparently lost on MSNBC how...

...badly it reflects on them to make pretend Colbert's speech wasn't newsworthy...not even a mention.
This speaks to how truly terrified they are of him and anyone with a following, who would expose corporate media for what they are.

[ShortnFiery]

15. I think the visual cut of Norah O'Donnell never looked so homely

I can't wait to hear her whine on Tweety tonight. :P

Shallow, gutless media lapdogs. They have no shame. :(

On edit, it was Susan Malvo NOT Norah O'Donnell who looked plain and absolutely pissed-off in Cobert's fake WH Press conference.

My Bad. Nooooo!

[AX10]

16. I hate cable "news".

[Ian David]

17. Keith Olbermann will call them on it tonight, I am sure.

MS-NBC carried the correspondents' dinner live.

They showed the Helen Thomas skit in split-screen with a shot of the pResident's reactions the whole time.



"Nope... No liberal media over there...maybe under here?"

[acmejack]

19. Colbert did say "I have nothing but contempt for these people!"

just before he ran his press conference video. Rightfully so, it seems...

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. I would say I'm stunned

but I'd be lying.

[jumpoffdaplanet]

21. Bad move on their parts

Are they forgetting Colbert has a show to rip from, and that Stewart has his back?

[Jack Rabbit]

22. Hey, MSRNC:

[Neil Lisst]

24. Alison Stewart said Colbert's routine was flat

Of course, she's an MTV retread.

[otohara]

26. One Can Only Assume Poor Alison

is a dimwit and didn't get it!

[Neil Lisst]

28. I've always liked her, but she's clueless about politics

more and more of the talking heads know very little about politics and the issues

it's more the ping pong approach to news - he said, then he said

[otohara]

25. I Too Have Contempt For These People

Still a bunch of chicken shits!

[ShortnFiery]

29. I thought he said "Nothing but Contempt for These People"?

I'll have to check it again. :-)
