1. These are lies. They blocked the vote, not the bill. Huge difference. The bill
would have passed had they voted on it...

3. "Scuttle?" They just voted to let more soldiers die and they "scuttled" it?
If one of the headlines said it, I could understand, but THREE?

6. Well with the MSM corporate republican owners
pulling the strings, the headlines will read whatever they want.

I think we, as Americans, who are damn sick and tired of the media should start a campaign and committee.

1 - We should first write letters to the media.
2 - We should tell them we are tired of the way they twist
the news by "lying" about everything.
3 - Tell them we are going to record newscasts.
4 - When we find enough lies we are going to get together and sue.
5 - That we will make an effort to have their FCC license removed
6 - We will accomplish this because the republicans won't hold
the white house and senate forever.

Scare the living crap out of them.

7. I like ABCNews and CBSNews' headlines.
This is REPUBLICAN obstruction. This is a REPUBLICAN filibuster. That fact should be highlighted.

8. Now does anyone doubt where the TV Media
stands.

They lie down and roll over asking the Gop to "rub our tummy"

The Dems have to get together and get themselves time on TV
if they want the truth out on anything.

How about giving the TV Media guns and send them Iraq.
They seem to believe the war is a good thing.
