1. This goes for all cable "news" channels as well as broadcast channels, print media, and

each and every TeaBagger who believes them without question.

[spanone]

2. well our stupendous media has made NO mention of this. the shutdown is down the rabbit hole.

4. How about all those ads WalMart is spending on

to say how wonderful they are to their employees instead of giving them a living wage and benefits instead? Making those ads and buying commercial ad time across the nation has to be costly.

Or The BP gulf ads saying how wonderful thing are since the spill instead of using the money to actually start reversing the damage they did?

[BlueJazz]

7. You've hit a thorn in my side with those comments. Every time I see those Walmat ads ...

..I wonder "What the hell are they talking about". A new one here (Tampa Bay area) has this fairly young Lady espousing how
"Working at Walmart has taught me how to learn about life's opportunities and take advantage of all the time I have left in the day to study what I want to become" (That's very close to actual words)

'Take advantage of all the time I have left in the day" LOL! ..Ah..yeah right, since they allow you to work 28 hours at their shitty job anyway, you have plenty of time to think....about getting another job.

The BP ads are even worse.
From watching the ads, the entire Gulf Coast was a filthy, disgusting sewer before God and BP came to town.
Now People and dolphins frolic and dance the day and night among the beautiful golden, crystal clear sands of Paradise thanks to
(Bow your head)..(sound the Silver Trumpets)... B...P... Da, Da !!!!!

I just stare at the TV with my mouth-open and wonder if I've somehow slipped into an alternate universe.

11. I've held the alternate universe theory since the '80's

It sure explains more than any other possibility.

15. That WalMart ad you mention is playing here in CA too.

OMG do they think we are that stupid?

[icarusxat]

20. they are counting on us being that stupid...

that is why they own almost half of the wealth in this country

[chervilant]

25. Yes, they do.

Their attitude towards the Hoi Polloi:

Patronizing -- because, in the current patriarchal socio-political milieu, we are the wee children in constant need of supervision and restraint (now with tasers and pepper spray).

Condescending -- because they are clearly our superiors, intellectually and educationally (though, not through financial privilege, they might argue)

Judgmental -- because, if we'd just work hard and live frugally, we'd be rich, too (the ol' 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' mantra).

Well, I assert that they're making a huge mistake, misjudging us and treating us so shabbily. Wonder who will look 'stupid' when we rise up and stop this nonsense?

26. Hey! That's my line!

Been using it for years.

[edhopper]

27. You care more about

some Parks being closed than millions getting food stamps cut.

You care more about taxes being raised on the one percent than the well being of every one else.

A very special stupid.
