Wouldn't be any business show repeat on MSNBC either.

Be nothing but wall to wall coverage of the worst clips they could find of these shenanigans. Be like a constant loop showing the worst of the worst. And Dem politicians we never even heard of before would be on all these cable news shows distancing themselves from them. And getting grilled by news personalities and Republicans alike. Non- stop. They would even be cutting back on the advertising to give it as much airplay as possible.

Even liberal cable news people would be on TV declaring that they "had calls" into the offices of the Dem leadership to get an answer but haven't received a response. Like they were hiding? They never do shit like that to Republicans on the air.

1. So True Don
back in the fall of the nixonian era the :puke: made a vow that this would never happen again and so they started BUYING up all the press outlets, both printed and aired. This place we find ourselves in today did not happen by chance, it was a deliberate attempt by the neoCON's to take us where we are. St. Ronnie the Lesser gave them a big boost with his union busting and the shitcaning of the fairness doctrine. Only did Clinton slow them down for 8 years or we would be no longer a democracy by any stretch right now. Obama has slowed the tide somewhat but how long can he hold out.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall of his, Prez O, and our first ladies bedroom to hear what it is they are saying to each other right now.

2. I think there wouldn't be any coverage at all. Look at all the anti war
protests over the last decade with huge crowds that didn't get any coverage. Get a small handful of knuckle dragging cons together in one place and the corporate owned media falls all over itself to report on it.

6. Yes, indeed. Ed Bernays was right, so was Josef Goebbels and all the others our BushoCorporates
emulate in order to "create their new realities".

Gleichschlatung (21st Century American version) has been pretty much completed and is in place, double-standards included.

We are the New Jews going up against the New Nazis. At least our BushoCorporate New Nazis aren't murdring us en masse yet.

hooray...

7. Absolutely right.


No matter what channel you would turn to there would be a constant
run of rethuglicans doing what they do best, pissing and moaning.




WAAAH!! No fair!!
