Anyone just hear Contessa? on MSNBC....
She just asked, "I thought Obama was on an economic tour, why is Obama digressing to the Iraq War?" Did she not hear him say that our taxes are being sent at 12billion a month to that country? They are spinning so hard, its not even funny... How do they get such brain dead bobble heads?

1. I had to turn it off after one of them said that Obama
and his people keep taking McCain's words and presenting them out of context. I sure hope that after Obama's in the White House at least one newschanel becomes bearable to watch. We can only hope. I'd like to watch the weather developments because I'm in WI and it's relevant to my well being, but I can hardly bear to listen to most of it.

3. Not surprising.
Edited on Thu Jun-12-08 01:53 PM by DontBlameMe
Contessa is there because she'll spew whatever talking point they want and because she's got a pretty decent rack. Sorry, that's the long and the short of it.

I've noticed that Chris Jansing, who I always thought was at least somewhat fair, started losing large amounts of face time when, back in 2004, she challenged a Repug senator saying, "Come on, you guys would never have let President Clinton get away with that excuse." Or something to that effect. I can't remember what the subject was but I believe it had to do with Iraq.

On Edit: I like how our spell check has the word "Repug" as a replacement for Repub. :evilgrin:

4. She is a brain dead wannabee reporter. I switched to food tv.
I do not understand why MSNBC is keeping these pinheads and promote false information.

7. They really think we are this dumb.. We aren't.. which is why Obama got to
where he did so far.. He is our outraged venting.. The way people talk, they act like he's already the President.. just a matter of a few "technical" months.

9. She's trying to prove that she's a serious journalist...
and only proving that she's a serious asshole. In her wee little brain, Iraq and the Economy are two separate issues, it has simply never occured to her (probably because no one ever put it on the prompter) that they could be connected:wtf:

11. That dummy can't see...
Edited on Thu Jun-12-08 02:45 PM by butterfly77
that they are all connected...This what these talking heads can't understand they want to separate a lot of the issues as it relates to, people ie..women,men,hispanic,asian,black,white,urban and rural etc...all of the issues affect us all in some ways.

A lot of these voters are so angry now because they fed into the media's spin on a lot of the issues and they let them tell them how to think about the candidates..

14. She's been spacing out a lot recently
It's not that she's dumb, she just has a hard time spinning her questions in ways that are logically sound.

16. From GE CEO to our ears in 4 easy steps
1. GE CEO has lunch with top NBC executives.
2. Immelt orders them to pummel Obama while giving McCain a free pass on everything.
3. Word filters down through the ranks
4. Contessa reads teleprompter.
