The Biggest Overlooked Comment I Heard Yesterday... Fuck You MSM!
Okay, let me say first that I don't have cable. I have one choice; comcast, and I refuse to give them one more cent.

So, I have to watch the live streaming coverage online. Now, since MSNBC stopped doing it that leaves me with CNN.

So, I was watching their coverage yesterday and I heard the most amazing thing from the guy doing the commenting.

He actually said that the television stations want this to keep this primary going on and on because of the record amounts the candidates are spending on commercials.

Now, we all know this is why they are spinning this and jumping from one candidate to the other week to week, but I was astonished to actually hear a pundit admit it.

I just thought I'd put some perspective on this whole situation, and perhaps save a few friendships on here. It's getting really nasty, and that's exactly what they want.

We all know the repugs run the TV stations. They don't want Obama or Clinton to win in the fall. So, they are trying to rip up apart in the process. Don't let them. Can we afford another Bush?

1. Wow, an honest person. Not only do I agree with that person
but if you looked at the coverage, they practically were saying clinton has the nomination wrapped up

I only wish many of these journalist have the opportunity to get sent to Iraq, permanently

3. What shocked me the most was Matthews.

I couldn't believe it when he said that the media was misleading the public, and that 4/5 hillary supporters thought she could win the nomination legit (w/o SDs)

6. Well to be realistic we can not stop them
And it is a real possibility that McCain will be selected as president by fraud or other means.
The only question is what will we do if and when that happens....accept our fate or take to the streets.
