Fuck the media, fuck them! The Jackson hysteria is sickening. How many of us. . .
. . .have said something crude about someone we support or are fond of in PRIVATE? I am in no way defending what Jesse said, but let's admit that Jesse was whispering something to the man next to him. To me this is more about media ethics or the lack thereof on the part of FOX NEWS.

Lets keep the mics on the press open at all the time. Given what the dipshits on FOX say on air I can only imagine what they say off air with hot mics. Lets just start keeping microphones on at all times.

This is nothing more that the media making a mountain out of mole hill.

2. I think it was strategy.
It gets people talking about Jackson rather than the FISA debacle.


"Hey people, look over here!" "Ignore what Obama just did to the Constitution, look at this really really important issue!" "Jackson and his son are fighting!"

It is all planned distraction.

7. No. You misunderstand
The Obama campaign put this out there and of course the media picks it up. And everyone is talking about it...campaign strategy.

15. Oh my gosh, I think you might have lost it. There are a lot of
non-sense I see, but your statement above makes no sense.

Where did they get it?

24. From the Illuminati, of course...
...just before seeing the plans that 9-11 was an inside job, and after destroying the evidence that the moon landings were faked.

C'mon, man...you know how these people think.

13. Yes but how many folks, anchors and guest, say stupid shit on a daily basis?
Think about this. We are talking FOX NEWS here, do you think Jesse is the 1st person to say something appalling about Obama off air but into a hot mic on that network?

18. I don't watch fox news...but I saw Jesse on CNN and talked about
on MSNBC. It has turned into quite a distraction.

22. Jesse should've known better, particularly being at FOX
Because people, even in the media, say stupid shit in public earshod doesn't make it okay. This is a reflection on Jesse Jackson and it's not a good one.

14. It was the atmosphere. The Fox studios are full of hot air and can cause light-headedness. n/t

20. I don't watch anymore. I get my news online. That way I know
what the spin of the day is without having to listen to it.

That's why I come here and read Buzzflash and HuffPo.
