MSM is really pissing me off today. |
|
Has anyone heard anything even remotely negative about McBush? MSNBC and CNN are nonstop Jesse Jackson and Hillary's debt and somehow it all shakes out to being a negative for Obama. Not a peep about McBush and the veteran or Phil Gramm telling us the bad economy is all in our heads. Nothing. I haven't been listening nonstop, have I missed the McCain coverage?

2. Whatever I, personally, happen to do will not change the coverage |
|
being aired to a large number of "low information" voters to lap up. It's not me I'm concerned about - it's the people who couldn't recognize a newspaper if it hit them in the head. This is the primary source of information for the lazier among us and the coverage is being weighted in McCain's favor.

8. Who watches cable news during the day? It seems to be... |
|
mainly news junkies who complain about cable news.
I was just listening to a pretty good show about the VA on Diane Rehm. On the few days Diane has something I'm not interested in, I watch Jerry Springer.
(And I don't really consider all those poor folks out there who don't get enough real news to be part of my personal crusade)

13. Whenever I take my car to be serviced, there is a packed waiting |
|
room of people who only have a television stuck on CNN to watch for entertainment. That's one example. It isn't fair for the MSM to denigrate one candidate and, for the most part, pimp another. ALL the mainstream media, not just some of it. The only exception is "Countdown." They should at the very least take a stab at unbiased reporting.

Christ, I turned them off a long time ago.
Keep your sanity, read the newspaper.
BTW, no, you haven't missed the McNasty coverage because there hasn't been any.

7. That's one of the reasons Obama voted as he did yesterday |
|
The corporate media want those Obama poll numbers down, and they will say whatever it takes to get it done. The less Obama gives them to work with, the better for America.
That's why we here need to calm down, because the media comes and takes the temperature of various progressive forums, this one is on the list.
We will lose this election for Obama if we continue.
