Who knew? I actually just watched a segment on CNN called

[Skidmore]

"The View from the Left." Looks like the media is finally noticing that we all have ideas and opinions worth hearing directly from us rather than the referential propaganda put out by the Republicans.

1. Meh. The GOP-controlled media considers "Alan Colmes" the defining liberal.

I haven't watched it, but it's probably just pandering.

[Jamastiene]

2. OMG, Spot on!

I cringe when he starts stuttering and drooling.

[ColbertWatcher]

3. He's gotten a few zingers lately, but ...

... he's not the first person liberals think of when they think of "journalist."

[Jamastiene]

4. Ya mean they didn't call us batshit crazy moonbat hellions?

Good work, Obama.

I should probably explain why I said "Good work, Obama"...

I remember waaaaaaaay back when television was nothing but Falwell/Robertson/Bush(father of the current son of a Bush)/Pauly fucking Shore all day, every day, all the time. Then Clinton got elected. It wasn't immediate, but slowly, during the transition time, the media started being slightly less about Falwell and slightly more about the economy and jobs and health care and other Democratic issues. Then for the first two years that Clinton was president, television was worth a damn for the first time in YEARS.

Rewind to my childhood when I was rummaging through some of my aunt's military stuff, looking for something to read. I found this book about psychological warfare. Now, the tactics I read about in that book involved the CIA taking over communications of a country in order to broadcast CIA propaganda to the citizens of the country instead of the country's usual propaganda. It also mentioned that when a new leader was getting ready to take control of any country, this was the government's standard operating procedure; to take over the airwaves(God, I'm an old fart, I mean satellite signal) and start broadcasting the propaganda to match the new leader's shtick.

That is what I believe you were witnessing. Just like when Clinton started transitioning, then went in, we started slowly hearing stuff more along our lines, then when he was inaugurated, they immediately and endlessly started talking about the polls and his high approval ratings. They did that on a daily basis while they talked about tech bubbles and the soaring DOW too, until 1998 when the Clenis got caught and spanked and Ken Starr, that nasty crotch sniffing pervert, went over every disgusting detail of the poor cigar and the poor blue dress' ordeal...several times over.

Then, by 2000, Gore came along and the media never liked him. From the get go, they decided he was stuffy, geeky, and boring. It was already carved in stone BEFORE that election ever took place that Bush would be president even if they had to fucking steal it...and steal it, the bastards did. I don't know why we bothered to vote in 2000. Seriously. Next time we have a presidential campaign and the media is not complimentary to "our guy," we should just not bother to vote. They won't count them anyway if they've already decided they don't like our guy. I shit you not.

Anyway, back to 2000, next thing you know, Bush fed that stupid Nora O'Donnell heifer some hors d'oerves and plied her with beer in Crawford, Texas and all of a sudden Crawford becomes White House West. I cannot wait until White House West phrase is never uttered again. I hope to never ever hear that bullshit again for as long as I fucking live. I want the phrase "homicide bomber" to be like a nightmare from my past that I can laugh at at some point later down the road too. God, I'm going to need dozens of years of therapy to undo the horrors of the last 7 years, 9 months of our lives. I wish George W. Bush had never been born.

Anyhow, the next thing you know, fucking Nora O'Donnell was just gushing and fucking fawning like a schoolgirl drooling over a George Michael or a Ricky Martin poster, about how much "better" the Bush campaign treated the press than the Gore campaign did. Oh, for fuck's sake, I remember her actually drunkenly laughing, leaning her head way back like a Pez dispenser and giggling like some bimbo who has been huffing gas. I literally :puke: when I saw her do that.

Anyhow, why relive it now when we may actually live long enough to finally see this last loooooooooooooooong 72 days finally fucking end? Right?

Anyway, after Nora O'Donnell made a fucking drunken fool of herself on MSNBC, all we have heard on any MSM cable news networks since then is god awful right wing pablum puke propaganda not suitable to use for torturing prisoners or helping constipated barnyard animals finally shit. I swear to God fucking Faux News would be considered cruel and unusual punishment by the Devil, himself, even for the lowest bowels of Hell.

Anyhow, the ultimate horror story Stephen King could only DREAM of dreaming of is almost over. As Obama transitions, the media will come around more and more our way. You'll see. It'll finally get better. Of course, they'll still have those same dipshit "journalists," that we've been putting up with for the last 8 years, for a little while longer, but you'll start to see some of them moving out of the way soon. After Obama is inaugurated, new anchors will move in a few at the time. They will be anchors who will be MUCH more to our liking and Republican heads will explode every fucking where. It'll be a nice change. I look forward to it.

6. Maybe Election Day reminded CNN that the is a Left left in US of A.

They ran "The View from the Right" before election day, and I remember people going WTF?

[Arugula Latte]

7. Gee, maybe the massive and overwhelming Democratic victories are a little clue

that we're NOT a center-right country.
