media framing of debt debate 'neither side will budge'

[spanone]

this is absolute media horseshit.

Obama has put the democratic family jewels on the table.

republicans won't even consider tax hikes. won't even CONSIDER.

but according to our liberal media....neither side will budge

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

1. Some reporters are treating the Republicans' willingness to even consider

raising the debt limit under any circumstances as a compromise.

2. That Is Why The Repuglicans Can Get Away With This

The media is behind them 1000%. Every TV station in the country. Every single one.
99% of the radio stations and newspapers, if not more.

3. MSNBC is singing that EXACT song

[spanone]

4. i've heard that from 3 different media outlets today. it's simply untrue. a manufactured LIE.

5. Both sides do it.. each side is equally to blame

yadayadayada..

This is how our inept media frames truth v fiction :grr:


It's like when a bully attacks another child who fights back to protect themself.. "BOTH boys were fighting":grr:

Once , a player CHOKED my son during a soccer match.. the kid knocked him down from behind, and when he TRIPPED over my son (who was down on the ground holding his injured ankle), the kid grabbed his neck.. We took our son immediately to the ER, because he had no peripheral vision for a while afterward..

anyway BOTH boys got a red card .. We filed a protest and did win, but the principle of both are guilty is not alwasy the way to go:grr:
