Does it seem to you the MSM is not really reporting on the Democratic Party's Ideas?

[UCmeNdc]

It just seems to me that the Washington Post, New York times, etc. seem to just causally mention Elizabeth Warren's position and concepts put forward in her speech. The MSM seems to report the tone of the speeches but not the substance. Is it just me who seems to feel this way? The MSM seems to want to avoid the debate over the differences between the political parties different views on issues.

1. Probably because their parent companies do best with Republican "ideas."

2. They can't even understand Bill Clinton...

...and he's so damn plain-spoken even the most hillbilly people in America can understand him. Do you think our media might have a listening deficit?

8. I was in the gym yesterday and CNN was on. I ran on the treadmill for over an hour.

For that entire hour, CNN reported on how the Democrats are obsessed with gay marriage and forgot to put God in their platform. Nothing of substance. It was all about whether or not there will be fallout over gay marriage and how that will affect the election. And then there was an interview with Paul Ryan. That's it.

9. dailykos.com thinks the same way.....

Yup folks, the MSM has received their marching orders from their bosses, who by the way happen to be fully Republican or Republican-leaning - as in Rove, Koch Brothers, Oil companies, Corporations, etc.

And now that the Republican Convention is over, there has been little or no bounce for Mitt Romney, whose speech was cited by right-leaning Gallup as being among the lowest rated convention speeches by a candidate in recent decades.

Romney's acceptance address received a weak grade relative to previous convention speeches. According to Gallup, only 38 percent of adults rated the Republican nominee's speech either good or excellent — the lowest rating given to such an address dating back to Bob Dole's speech at the 1996 Republican National Convention.

So be prepared to see an onslaught of negative spin, focus on controversies, gaffes, protests, who-is-upstaging-who type questioning, and diminishing of otherwise excellent speeches into foolish soundbites or side irrelevancies, etc. Be warned folks. The media is prepared to go negative.

10. Be fair. They didn't report on the Republican Party's ideas, either.

'Course, there's a reason for that...
