3. No shit...you got THAT right!
How the fuck is it that they can totally blow off ever increasing intimidation and hostility such as we're seeing, and yet the right wing fuckjobs get to keep mocking "the left wing media machine" as though there's a fucking scrap of truth to it!?

Sorry for all the profanity, I'm just way disgusted right now that this is getting completely ignored, and yet they worry about covering a fucking sports predicting octopus.

4. welcome to mainstream media
I don't turn it on anymore and barely even visit their website. No CNN, no FauxNews, no MSNBC, nothing. All complete garbage.

7. K&R.
Major media under-reporting the hate being stirred up by right wing PR groups for the past two years has been really discouraging.

9. CNN stopped being a news outlet
the minute Turner sold out to Time/Warner. But they sure as hell could play that "Dean scream" 450 times a day.

10. Chuck Todd had a long piece about the aide giving
Alex the message during the debate tho....long piece. Not one mention of the violence at the Paul Rally. That is what is happening in this country the media flat out refuses to broadcast any negative thing about a republican.

It seems to me one of the tea bag candidates or republican candidates could mow down a whole row of people and nothing will be said.

Woman stomped outside Kentucky debate

(CNN) - An employee with the liberal group Moveon.org was stomped on by a man wearing a "Rand Paul for Senate" T-shirt outside a televised debate in Lexington, Kentucky, Monday night, police said.

The incident took place before the debate between Republican Paul and Democrat Jack Conway.

(embeded video story)

FULL STORY


Take a minute to look around before ranting.

12. I looked around just fine, thanks.
There was NOTHING to be found on the entire front page, but three articles on some stupid fucking octopus were front and center.

If YOU had to hunt around to find something, how the fuck is your average voter supposed to know what's going on?

And are you really okay with that?

At least you have something to say along with the unrec, I'll give you credit there.
