25 repubs to 4 Dems...WOW that "LIBERAL" media!!!

[LynnTheDem]

Republican and conservative guests and commentators outnumbered Democrats and progressives on FOX News, CNN, and MSNBC during primetime inauguration coverage on January 20, just as they had done earlier in the day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, as Media Matters for America documented.

So "FAIR AND BALANCED"!!!

Appearances made by Republicans and conservatives outnumbered appearances made by Democrats and progressives 25 to 4 on FOX...

So "LIBERAL"!!!

...7 to 1 on CNN (not including a Republican-skewed panel featuring Ohio voters), and 9 to 5 on MSNBC.

Now with all that "FAIR & BALANCED LIBERAL MEDIA", how the hell were the rightwingnut 50% of this country so WRONG about Iraq and WMD???!!

1. Don't you think if it was Kerry's inauguration, there would have been

mostly Democrats? No huh? Neither do I. Damn media.

[theresistance]

2. The MSM are a propaganda service for Chimpenstein & co

there's no doubt about that.

3. And some day, IF a rightwingnut or 2 were to develop any reasoning ability

They might actually put 2 and 2 together and come up with 4!

The "fair & balanced" "liberal" media = overwhelmingly rightwingnut bullshit that misinformed the vast majority of rightwingnuts; the warmongering rightwingnuts were ALL WRONG.

Half this country, and the overwhelming majority of the entire planet, didn't watch or listen to the rightwingnut propaganda "fair & balanced" crap, and we were all CORRECT.

Nahhhhhh. That's FAR too difficult for rightwingnuts to suss out!

4. The media

has to live the Bush administration for the next four years so they are going to try suck up to the Republicans.

It's not going to work. Right wingers hate the media.

5. during the DNC, most of the commentators were republicans...

It was unbelieveable. Luckily there's CSPAN and Air America, but watching cable news make me laugh out loud at 'liberal media' claims.

6. Yes, CNN really pissed me off.

I called them twice. Who gives a shit about what Wolf Blitzer thinks anyway.

I asked if I could be a commentator during the RNC. I had my script all set but they didn't call.

"Gee Bob, did you hear what that evil Republican Christian-Hater just said?"

"I sure did Steve, and it just goes to show that when a Republicans lips are moving, then they are lying."

"Thats right Bob, and they do this to divert the publics attention." "We should be talking about Valerie Plame, Enron, or the lies told to justify the war in Iraq"

"Don't forget their attack on our civil liberties, or the attack on our voting system Steve, this is a real concern to me"

I could go on for a long long time.

7. Corporate media is hopeless

It is beyond saving at this point. What all liberals need to do is simply stop watching it and support progressive media. They won't listen to our emails, they won't put real progressives on, the only thing that will catch their eye is if their ratings go way down and the ratings of progressive media goes way up.

8. We had to turn off TV coverage- all channels had Repub guests Thursday

You know it's getting bad when Andrea Mitchell is the least conservative of all the commentators or guests you see on any network when channel surfing.
