Two networks with nothing to do but cover news 24 hours a day and they can't broadcast more than a few minutes of the most important news in weeks?! I'd say I'm at level 10. How 'bout you?

5. Same ol' shit from our wonderful Pravda...I mean, MSM.
They should not be allowed to call themselves "news" networks.

and angry. I knew things were bad with the MSM, but this is too much. CNN covered a few minutes of the news conference-couldn't find it at all on any other network. If it were Paris or Anna...!

13. If we want our country back, we should be protesting against the media
We, as citizens, should be raising hell over what they've become.

23. I just sent CNN this message....
"How inept and oblivious can you be? The news conference held by Democratic Senators calling for appointment of a special counsel to investigate the current attorney general is history in the making. CNN has definitely degraded its credibility by making this decision not to cover the news conference in its entirety."

How about Fox? Wait, there is no meaniful news coverage at Fox, never mind. I think this morning they were devoting half their show to Lindsay Lohan. I don't know if they even bothered to get to the contempt showdown.

The MSM is complicit in the crimes this gov't. perpetrates on the people. Now... if it was Lindsay or Britney or Paris holding the news conf., THAT would be different. TC
