Pinch me...am I awake? NBC nightly news tells the truth!

[NRaleighLiberal]

States that Obama's tax plan is far superior to McCain's. Lots of detail.

Are we seeing the reversal of bizarro world???

[BrklynLiberal]

1. ooops. Someone is going to lose their job..or retract it tomorrow..

[JuniperLea]

2. They were telling ME about McCain's lies the other night!

I'm not sure what's going on here, and I don't trust them, but I have been watching a lot lately. I think it is a good thing to be aware of what the masses are being fed.

[Cha]

3. That's Wonderful but you guys crack

me up who think this might be the turning point. The only turning points are going to come from Obama Team's hard work to win this in spite of the corporate mediawhore$.

Thank you so much for reporting this..it's really good news!

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. No, I am cynical....even a broken clock is right twice a day!

Was just telling my wife that the press is sniffing to see who's ahead and trying to position themselves with the winner. I fully expect the opposite news from them any given night!

[Cha]

10. Good 'cause that's the way the media plays it..

for their ratings. Amazing what you reported though.

:toast: Obama's Tax Plan..

Rec'd!

[CatBO]

4. I just heard!

I was wondering how they would spin it.

They decided to stop the record player and just tell the truth.

NICE!

[calico1]

5. That was good, wasn't it?

Non partisan group.

It didn't make McCain look good at all.

[eshfemme]

6. WHOA! Is there video of it?

I need evidence to convince me that someone in the MSM actually did their fucking job before I'll believe it.

[FrenchieCat]

8. They are just paving the way to jump on Obama after the debates?

He will blink wrong, and that will be the end.....

or so they pray.

[Cha]

11. Obama needs a week to prepare for

the onslaught of the moderator and mccain hammering on him for not wearing a flag pin, ect, ect, ect.

[Hamlette]

12. you're probably right but I tend to think maybe they have money in the stock market

and they are watching the GOP flush their life savings away.

They think Clinton's ppl will be better than Bush's to fix it.

Maybe.

[Overseas]

13. You're remembering the condemnation of Gore for eye-rolling

when Dubya made some dumb statements?

And he was ridiculed for talking about his lock box for social security.

[4lbs]

15. I think that "lockbox" is looking pretty damn good to nearly everyone right about now.

n/t

[npincus]

20. yes, me too.

link, anyone?

[mascarax]

9. Hmm, maybe the kudos helped

Last week, after the "Sarah Palin Lies...and Then Lies More" segment, some of us sent kudos. Here's the email again:

[e-mail]

I asked them to do a segment, comparing the health care plans (especially since McCain wants to tax, tax, tax).

[Overseas]

14. I would love to think the market crashes awakened Republicans

to realize we really need the Obama team's expertise to jump in quickly with financial regulations and alternative energy Apollo projects and national health insurance before our society really goes totally kaput, and so they finally will tell the truth about the candidates and allow us our landslide.

[goodgd_yall]

16. They are inconsistent

I occasionally see the MSM tell the truth, but it never lasts long.

[curious one]

17. I have noticed the gradual change in media toward Obama. They have started telling the truth.

It seems they have lost their shirts in this economic turmoil.

[Berry Cool]

18. Once again, I must say I am relieved to hear that NBC is not letting that terrible MSNBC

and their biased commentators like Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow taint their pure and impartial journalistic reputation. :rofl:

[tridim]

19. Maybe they understand that 4 more years of McBush is extremely bad for business.

They want to keep their jobs too.

[Hansel]

23. Good point. nt

[MrsBrady]

21. i agree with that other guy...they are sniffing

the networks get their money from advertising. they get ad dollars based on ratings.

no ratings, no dollars. so....i don't think they care what they are saying.

i think they only care to say what they think will make them money.

now, am i glad if they are telling the truth. yes.

but they need to tell the truth, no matter who is in power...or may win. but they won't.

i've worked in the entertainment/media business...they only care what sells. it doesn't matter to them if it's a truth or a lie as long as they can sell an ad for their time slots.

[nichomachus]

22. The corporations are in a bind

On one hand, the really like voting for Republicans, because they will do anything the corporatists want -- even sacrifice their own children, if they have to.

On the other hand, they know that the McCain/Palin ticket is just batshit crazy. They could swallow Dubya because they knew Darth was in the background and Dubya had daddy's posse lurking around -- like the Verizon "network."

But with Palin/McCain, you get a senile old fool and a vapid, fraudulent Alaskan hillbilly -- with no one backing them up except shadowy and scary people with very narrow agendas.

[vanderBeth]

24. Don't worry, the media'll go back to lying later...

[Major Hogwash]

25. It was weird seeing that tonight. I had to check the calendar and see if it was still 2008

or if I had gone back in time and didn't know it.

They told the truth once in a dozen years, and now they'll brag about it for the next dozen years.
They'll want an Edward R. Murrow award based on tonight's telecast.

[npincus]

26. Is it one of these?

[CrispyQ]

27. A few weeks ago there was an article that stated that many on Wall St.

feel that Obama will be better for the economy than McCain. We're all about the money. If big business wants Obama, the media will comply.
