A Post For Those Sick Of Afternoon Corporate Media Pundits
Whenever I infiltrate someone's posts, posing insightful questions like:

"Why Did Wolf Blitzer Say That?" Or

"What Is Wrong With Tweety Today?" Or

"Why Doesn't Whora O'Donnell Give Democrats Credit" Or

"How Come Tucker Is Critical Of Liberals?"


I get yelled at, becase they have every right to watch these GARBAGE shows, and they have the right to ask STUPID & LAME questions like those above. As if it comes as a SHOCK to these DUers that Corporate Media shills would act as they do on a 100% CONSISTENT BASIS!

I've decided the only way around that is to avoid even opening Any posts containing the name of these media Idiots. Because, if I look out my window and see that it's pouring rain, I don't need to go outside in my underwear to prove it.

The only "news" programming I watch is Keith Olbermann at 8 PM EST. Anything else is irrelevant, and a total waste of my time. It still escapes me how anybody from DU wants to subject themselves to the LIES and SPIN from the other talk show schmucks, but it amazes me even more when these same people post here about how surprised they are with the bias prevalent on these programs. But if they can get you to watch on a consistent basis, and help their ratings, I guess they're doing something right.

As Howard Stern says...."I don't care what people think of me or my program, so long as they listen." I'm sure Tweety, Blitzer, Tucker, O'Donnell, Russert, et al....are pleased as punch that liberals are still tuning in, and giving them their ratings.

2. Love Jon & Steven....
But I consider them more comedy/entertainment than "news."

3. Jim Lehrer on PBS.....
is the only "real" news program I can stand to watch anymore! Of course I love KO, Jon Stewart and Colbert, too. These "fake" news shows are more informative than MSM!
