The Corporate Media - Where Are The 24/7 Where Are The Votes Updates Like Healthcare?

[TomCADem]

Remember how the news media happily played and replayed stories pronouncing that Health Care Reform was dead? Yet, with respect to the tax cut compromise, the media is dwelling on the "angry left" while generally describing the deal as a done deal. The Democrats who are opposed are generally dismissed as leftist outliers.

The media will happily do its best to intensify divisions among the left, while generally giving the Republicans a free pass on the huge deficits created by this deal. Sadly, many on the left end up repeating this narrative where we talk of betrayal by the Democrats despite the fact that they voted to let tax cuts for the rich expire, while giving Republicans a free pass.

Here is another thread discussing another right wing media cover-up that is sinking down to the bottom of the discussion section:

It is odd that threads that simply repeat the corporate media narratives get kicked and re-kicked, but posts noting the contradictions in media coverage of Democrats and Republicans are ignored. Worse, the talking points get repeated again and again.
