I just watched Nora O'Donnell helpfully explain to Dick Durbin that McInsane didn't really mean that he didn't care how long the troops were in Iraq. Right before that they played a clip of about 30 seconds of McCain bashing Obama for his "bitter" remark and touting his own patriotism. Followed up by a few seconds of Obama at an event with no audio. Of course, the Durbin interview was about the shocking revelation that Jim Johnson was stepping down from the campaign, which Durbin was called upon to explain to a suddenly skeptical Nora O'Donnell.

This is just a small slice of a typical news cycle.

:grr:

1. OH MAN -- Johnson stepping DOWN? My God, will this never stop?
Why on God's earth is BombBomb getting a TOTAL FUCKING PASS
about his association with Phil "I'm with Wendy" Gramm and
his involvement with the Keating Five, yet Obama's VP vetter
has to step down because he got a few preferential loans?
My God, I'm just ....

:argh: :nuke: :puke:

WHAT THE FUCK HAS BECOME OF OUR MEDIA??????

3. It's disgusting.
Now Nora is informing us about those 2 Blue Dog dickwads who are refusing to endorse Obama because he is "too liberal".

6. And I thought KELLY was the resident BombBomb bot O'Donnell at MSNBC
I doubt they're related but KELLY (not Whorah) O'Donnell
was the MSNBC "embed" (ha!) with the BombBomb campaign and
has been (predictably) lauding him but now it looks like
Whorah has taken the bait, too.

But of course, that PALES in comparison with the CNN
(now married) duo of John King and Dana Bash, who BOTH
just GUSH all over themselves when talking about BombBomb.

Here you go, journos -- McLameSame Koolaid for EVERYONE!!!

2. I know! Yesterday on our local news, a clip ran that I saw on CNN,
which gave about 98% of the time to McSame and 2% to Obama. McSame strode past a zillion flags and ripped Obama, but Obama wasn't given half a moment. News?

I have written letters and emails to the msm for years without response. What stick do we have other than turning the g-d tv off?

4. You and I can turn off the tv and keep ourselves well-informed.
It's those millions of other sheeple who get all their information from the MSM that I worry about.

7. Yeah, and what *looks* bad is Johnson stepping down ...
Like he did something *wrong*, when he's not done anything
worse than PLENTY of people on McTool's campaign. It doesn't
matter if he really didn't do anything worthy of resignation;
the sheeple will see that he stepped down and assume he's a
bad guy (and Obama is tainted by ANOTHER association).

8. Ironic, isn't it?
Obama strenuously avoids the mere appearance of ethical conflicts and gets smeared for practically nothing while McCain proudly employs the biggest scumbags on the planet.

9. Which makes me ask: Why did he let him go? Why did he let Power go?
Samantha Power was proven CORRECT -- HRC DID turn into a
political MONSTER ... Yet he had to cowtow and throw her
under the bus, too. I really wish he'd quit just giving
in to these asswipes because it's setting a REALLY bad
precedent.

5. It's the way it always is and I know
Obama's Team understands this..so, they're going to have to work through the mainstream mediawhores just like they did in the primary.

Thank the Universe for Obama.

The m$$m gave us bush for 8 years and the War On Iraq and they'd like to give us a bombed Iran. I think Americans are waking up to those facts and that will help somewhat.
