Poll: Has cable news been giving adequate coverage of that Rethug stomping on that woman's neck?

1. I'm actually surprised I've seen it as much as I have.......

The soft bigotry of low expectations. :)

2. I only watch

MSNBC - so of course they covered it . . . but I'm assuming they have not?

I do know that Rush (because MSNBC covered Rush covering it) covered it but by the language he used to describe the victim of the assualt . . . He believes pretty much she had it coming.

3. Rush said the stomper was "only trying to protect" the woman

when he "placed his foot on her head."
Brooklyn Bridge anyone?

4. I have watched two hours of news this morning...

Watched an hour of the Today Show. Heard NOTHING about the head stomping.

I tuned into CNN for 20 minutes. I saw a earth-shattering story about a man
who has taught his dog to pray before meals. Nothing about the head stomping.

I watched five minutes of Fox News. I apologize, but I could only stomach
a few minutes. Not a mention of the head stomping.

I then tuned to MSNBC and they mentioned it. Apparently Keith will be
discussing it in detail tonight.

I'm particularly pissed at The Today Show and CNN. Come on, this is
the MSM and what happened is news. They are blocking out the story
and THAT is manipulation and favoring the tea partiers.

The coverage is woeful and this entire situation is disgusting.

5. That has been my impression also

If it had been a Dem doing the stomping it would be on 24/7. Another pass for the Rethugs. This is getting tiring.

14. Headline news did have it twice while I was watching

and they did say he STOMPED on her head. Headline news of CNN is not bad. They don't give opinions they just report. I was watching about the wind and snow here in the midwest and thanking goodness if missed us here on the Iron Range. It curved right down around us from Big Fork area curved down for a wide swatch and the hit Duluth. Schools are closed there today.

6. I found it interesting that the first videos I saw online were from a Fox affiliate

Normally the mouth piece for the right wing would be saying "Woman attempts to damage man's shoe with her head".

7. cable news is not news

8. They were discussing it on Morning Joe this morning.

Scarborough was actually strongly defending the woman and criticizing the attackers.

9. Did they show the video?

[drm604]

13. Yes.

Repeatedly.

10. The MSM is probably hedging because of all the Britefart videos. Viral videos have been biting them

Viral videos have been coming back to bite them on the ass lately. Granted, these videos usually come from the Right, but I would think they are gonna hedge until public outrage forces them to cover it.

We need to keep pushing this. The more we push it the more it becomes MSM news.

11. I want to see ads coming out of the DNC, the DSCC, then I'll be satisfied.

If the Dems don't run with this, exposing the hypocrisy of whom is allowed freedom of speech, they are missing a great opportunity to gotv. Not everyone watches cable news....but they may be watching Glee and if this display of violence comes on their tv, it just might motivate some people to get out there and vote against these people.

12. You will be satisfied when we have to pay for the same coverage the Rethugs get for free?

That doesn't seem right.
