The MSM RIGHT NOW Is Proving Stewart RIGHT
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 01:21 PM by KingOfLostSouls
The MSM is completely shitting itself. they don't know what to make of people getting along. its easier to zip away to cover hate rallies. they don't know what to make of people getting along and having fun. CNN, the Conservative News Network, continues to try to "out Fox" Fox. how pathetic.



every time I switch to the news channels real quick to see if they're doing coverage, they're not

it's just FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR. "the polls show the democrats hate America. FEAR FEAR FEAR."


celebrity news, gossip, the president sucks, blahblah blah blah blahblah.


YEMEN TERROR PLOT, TERROR TERROR TERROR!!!


they've spent more time today discussing CHARLIE SHEEN than hundreds of thousands of Americans celebrating sanity.



oh and of course CNN streaming ted nugent ranting about democrats literally being evil to a bagger rally as if its somehow breaking news.



meanwhile, there's hundreds of thousands of people on the mall proving they are completely out of touch with America.


thank you, main stream media...for proving jon stewart is 100% right about you.



edit: CNN YOU FUCKING SUCK! HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON THE MALL AND ALL YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT IS SARAH PALIN AND TED NUGENT AT A BAGGER RALLY. REALLY!?!?!

1. THAT is why Stewart gets the credit for telling the truth..by those who care to know the truth.

4. Minor point: CNN stopped being a news network about 4 or 5 years ago
I haven't watched CNN for "actual news" since then.

Ask yourself who OWNS the networks and the local stations? Is it a socialist, a labor union, a group of workers who pooled their cash together? Ah.... no.

Ask yourself who OWNS 90% of the talk radio stations in the country? I'll give you a hint, it's not someone from the Democratic Party or the Socialist Party.

But, you do make a good point. Since the "news" stopped being a public service and started being a "profit center," true journalism has been dead in America. I get my international news from the Asian networks and the BBC.

7. I was also very disappointed on the Corpmedia's lack of coverage...
then again, we shouldn't be surprised. How much coverage did those massive war protests get?

The revolution is not being televised.

15. Or the March for Women's Lives. Largest march EVER, estimated 1 million people
Most American newspapers hid story in back pages. and GROSSLY under reported the numbers. :mad:

23. Don't forget they showed the Glen Beck revival live and just about in it's entirety.
I'm still searching for this liberal media I hear of all the time.

29. Not sure about the licensing

Were the broadcast rights for Rally to Restore Sanity subject to Viacom licensing terms?

24. This morning, NPR talked about the "two" very different political rallies that occured this year.
And of course they were talking about Glenn Beckk's 87k & Jon Stewart's 250k - totally ignoring Ed Schultz and his 175k.

One thinks that in a few more weeks Beckk's rally will be the only one they talk about.

26. They won't report on it, because Stewart skewered them at the end. They
don't want people wising up to what they are doing. Can't allow the truth to get out there about the media's motives and methods.
