Teabaggers and the media
I have to wonder why the media ignored or downplayed the peace marches during
the Shrub administration, but are giving full coverage to the wingnuts who
are downtown today, yammering about things they know nothing about. What's up with that?

1. The media is corporate, and therefore promotes those who
push for less taxes and less regulations for Corporations.

In otherwords, the Media doesn't give a fig about America,
only profits.

5. and frenchie ends the thread with the first reply
what's really telling is that the corporate media (nbc in this case)went outside of what they usually (99.9%) refer to as the 'official' estimate (those given by fire depts. police etc.)and made up their own. "No no, it wasn't 50 to 70k like the fire dept. said it was more like 100's of thousands"

Did they do that with the anti-war numbers?

lolz, of course they didn't

3. C-Span Talked It Up This Morning Too! All I Will Say Is "WE" Really Need
to do the same!! Forget whether they will cover it or not, and I KNOW they haven't in the past, but WE are getting beat at the game! WE may have given the Democrats all they needed, but I personally think we are losing THIS GAME!

Crazy as they are, they are STEALING THE SHOW!!

JMHO!!

4. Because the media corps make lots of money if healthcare fails and they lose lots of money when wars
come to an end.
