Edited on Fri Dec-10-10 09:17 AM by spanone
the coverage has been all democrat vs. democrat.
republicans are not being asked to explain the tax cuts for the rich.
nor are they being asked about shitting on the 911 responders.
no questions about DADT.
no questions about 'dream' act.
the media knows what it's doing.

2. You're right, the republicans don't seem to be around... |
|
and yet the meme of the 'liberal media' persists. I think not.

3. Damned straight. Put the Dems on to say how much Obama sucks... |
|
...then put the Republicans on the Sunday talking head shows to say how much they like him and his compromise with (capitulation to) them. Plays right into the GOP plans. They'll come out being able to say that THEY were the good guys while Democrats blocked them. We focus on Fox as being bought-and-paid-for GOP shills, but at least Fox does it blatantly. The other media outlets PRETEND they're being balanced while promoting the GOP agenda just as much. The only differences are stylistic, not substantive.

Any sales training manual tells us that a good salesperson knows to shut up when the customer is sold.

Typically, there would be 3, 4, 5 to one ratio of Right Wing talking heads for every left leaning token placeholder who would be forced to listen to RW and the Moderator regurgitate the same talking points.
No one question about Repuke obstruction, not one question about the inherent importance of START or the importance of unemployment benefits that have been prevent by Repuke obstruction.
Dems in Congress are too blame and the President can't manage to rally his troops behind a RightWing compromise.
Funny, how these messages brought to you by BigPharma, BigAuto, BigInsurance are so neatly packaged that way.
