Well that sucked.

MSNBC showed McConnell's presser in its nauseating entirety.

When Chuck Schumer came to the microphone and began to rebut McConnell's agenda, point by point, they cut out to go back to covering stuff they'd already reported on.

Big suckage MSNBC. BIG.

The media is actively muzzling any and all Democratic messaging. Your post reveals that we are royally screwed if all we get is GOP propaganda.

If Dem leadership calmly puts out a good, solid case, it is ignored by the media, and even people here complain about the lack of perceived action.

If Dem leadership is more vocal and emotional, they will be criticized as being too partisan and divisive.

she could have been fdr, jfk, and the beatles all rolled into one.

what does it matter if the media gave 80% of the air time to promoting donnie and 80% of the remaining air time smearing hillary?

i mean, she could have been the most qualified presidential candidate in american history and it wouldn't have mattered.
*oh wait, she was*.

she could have been the most popular woman politician in american history and it wouldn't have mattered.
*oh wait, she was*.

she could have been an historic figure, the first woman to head a major american party ticket, and it wouldn't have mattered.
*oh wait, she was*.




the media truly sucks in this country.

they have relinquished any role at all in broadcasting the truth. at best they are scribes, but it's worse than that, because they are biased scribes, faithfully repeating republican lies while ignoring the truth, or at best spinning the truth as the democratic opinion.
