I am getting so fucking bored with the so-called coverage of this campaign by the media...

They must really be mindless twits in order to talk and talk and talk about nothing of consequence all day, every day, every hour, every fucking minute...

Could you imagine being married to one of these idiots...

1. Good point.
But I thought at first this was a commentary on the state of GDP.

2. Well, there is that too...
But the media drives GDP and since we have to fill everything in, well, much is repeated...

3. Yes, this coverage is horrible
I listen to it as little as possible, and do a quick scan of the internet for breaking news. It is as if the media would like us to be as uninformed to what is important as possible. :think:

7. I don't even think it is that sinister....
I think they just don't know how to cover anything of consequence...

I think they believe if they dwell on anything important or complicated for more than two minutes, the audience will click on over the Animal Planet to see who is getting mauled...

Or worse, click on over to Faux...

16. I agree that they have a slant toward the oligarcy because they frankly
make so much money that they can't even begin to fathom what regular folks are going through...

But they are, I believe, enamored with their self-importance and think they are doing the right thing...

Giving the people what they think the people want...

And they will continue to do so as long as they have the eyeballs...

Amd guess who gives them those eyeballs, everyone on here who watches the news...

5. You are so right
It's really gone downhill. And I am getting so SICK of watching news presenters interviewing each other every time I turn on the TV.

9. Instead of paying so much money for "media stars" how
Edited on Fri Mar-21-08 11:44 PM by mac2
about doing some real journalism? Their egos are so inflated. They act like everything they say is....big news. Most the sensationalized stories are cheap coverage..and also hide issues we Americans need to know if we are to keep our democracy (oh right they don't want that).

I really like Lou Dobbs since he addresses real issues.

12. That's Because . . .
covering about the fifth anniversary of the war or the current state of the economy--substantive things that actually effect people would not help the MSM's case--they're paid by the top 1% after all . . . So spend all your time trying to get voters to react against preachers and soundbites, etc. to keep things the way they are-- although trying to figure out how to pay for gas, after losing your house may get in the way from paying your cable bills to see this nonsense . . .

13. Its like a bunch of 8 year olds with ADD and a microphone
you are so so right.

And the Media is like a mindless broken record, has been for years.

This media consolidation makes it worse, its like all channels ranting
pretty much the same thing.

And over the top.

Maybe because most stations use air heads who can't do much
except spout 11 word memes over and over.
