Shouldn't some Corporations that News Corp works with/for also be implicated?

I am thinking all of the propagandist Climate Change deniers, Energy Corps, etc..... let alone all the politicians that he can be tied to.
Am thinking this is a missed opportunity to help the world.

1. We're too busy giving Obama shit...

To do anything meaningful... I'm pretty sure many here are with you in spirit though.

But you're right, of course. This is a golden opportunity to stick it to Faux Gnus and all the rest of Murdoch's media outlets. We should be screaming foul to all concerned!

But no... you see, there's this POTUS that everyone HERE is intent on bringing down, so meaningful work will have to wait.

Makes no sense to me, but there you have it.

We need to take back the media... that one action could save us all from so much.

But no...

2. WTF is up with these assclowns, anyway?

I thought this was DEMOCRATIC Underground, not the "GOP Sticks It To The Kenyan" forum.

And I'm not talking about a question or two about direction, priorities or anything that resembles "reasonable dissent." I'm talking about the bozos who spend hours every day griping like one of those jerks you see in a fast food joint who get loud and annoying because they think they were shorted on their french fries. The DEMONIZING....the ILL WILL! When will it end?

I'm guessing it'll end when Obama wins his second term.

It's not just "The Media." It's people behind keyboards, professional crabs, astroturfers, and people who just like a virtual fight.... and some of 'em are right here.

3. I was just accused...

Of not supporting gay rights.

I kid you not.

I am an "Obama FAN" and I apparently hate the gays too. It wasn't even a discussion about gay rights... it was about Obama... like 99.9% of the threads here today. I give up.

I'm sick of this... seriously sick of this.

[Wait Wut]

4. I saw that.

Today has been a demoralizing day on DU. I haven't seen one single negative post about the GOP, but SEVERAL on our President.

The attack on you blew my mind. Sorry I didn't come to your defense, but I'm sick of it, too. I just don't have the energy for a battle today. Besides, you handled it well.

5. Thanks...

Yeah, I put two people on ignore in that thread.

I just don't have time for this BS. I certainly don't have time to be insulted to that degree.

It's only Monday... I have been away from here all weekend and already I need another break!

6. It's why I took a long holiday.

I just may take another.

I agree with you, some of this shit is absolute bullshit. You've got to wonder what the priorities are, here. I don't know any Democrats like some of the people I find here--and I'm not talking about the thoughtful discussions, I'm talking about the "Sky is Falling" bullshit artists who think Obama is a demon-devil, and do nothing but whine about him all the live-long day. The idiots don't seem to understand that CONGRESS, not the President, makes law. All the President can do is veto the laws that come to him, and if CONGRESS thinks the President is full of it, they can override his veto.

Of course, that gets in the way of these "Obama is a Dictator" morons who think Obama has similar authority to that of a fifteenth century king.

They oughta make people take a basic civics test to be a member, here. That'd cut down on the clueless wonders!

I suppose playing the "Well you must hate GAY PEOPLE" card is an ultimate thread-derailer. Perhaps they had no argument to refute your comments, and the goal was to put you on the defensive and change the subject.

7. Are you guys even talking about this thread? I posted nothing about Gay bashing, etc....

8. Sorry, we took a turn down Analysis Lane...nt
