I am enraged at CNN's and MSNBC's attempt to

[Subdivisions]

make PE Obama guilty of some sort of chicanery re: Blagojevich. Fuck! Where was all this scrutiny with that asshole boosh? I'm just sick a fucking tired of their bullshit. I don't know about FOX because I don't watch it. I can only imagine. MSNBC right now is full-on in their attempt to tie Obama to that mess and I can't stand it!

[Captain Hilts]

1. When will folks realize the media - MSNBC in a big way - just makes up shit to fill airtime???

turn the channel to ESPN classic or Turner Classic Movies!

[Subdivisions]

3. I know they make shit up. But WHEN is something going to be

done about it? How do they get away with it? Where can I find HONEST news?

[peacetalksforall]

7. It's not just to fill air time, this is a vile attempt to defile. They have many

eays of goofing away time. They have been given direction-orders to do this. Orders coming from their owners, their sponsors, and directly from the WH-RNC and probably AIPAC and Heritage Foundation.

The only thing that is going to change is that the orders will come from a new source - an corporate RNC lobbyist organization. You don't turn off a well oiled machine such as their hate mongering, fear spreading, lie generating cabal they have going for them.

I wouldn't just lightly dismiss those deceitful, unpatriotic so-call newsnetworks who have taken our airwaves for their own.

14. right

The only time I'll turn on tv news is when there's a disaster to watch. Whenever I leave that crap on for an hour or 2 I hear the same MEANINGLESS "stories" repeated over and over. There's a lot of actual news they ignore so they can waste time talking about whatever will keep The Stupid from turning the channel to reality tv or something :eyes: The "reporters" are a bunch of talk.

When I watch CNN I wonder how I EVER took that seriously. I think it must have just been how young I was when the channel started.

16. Those Who are Still Watching Will NEVER Get It

You can fool some of the people all of the time.

[Captain Hilts]

17. That's a really good point. nt

[Jackpine Radical]

19. You assign a much more benign motive to their fabrications than I would.

I see them as outright propagandists for the Corpublicans.

[lame54]

2. Blago cleared Obama...

“F**k him,” Blagjoveich says of Obama during a lengthy call with top aides and his wife recorded on November 10th, “For nothing? F**k him.”

[Subdivisions]

5. He did clear Obama yet the MSM just keeps right on pounding

the disinformation and there's already people out there who hate Obama and this sort of propaganda is just the kind of thing that could push someone over the edge.

[malaise]

10. Fuck all of them

Contessa won't shut up.

[monmouth]

4. If you don't watch, their ratings will bomb. I listen to Imus these days

and he's not half bad. No negativity at least re Obama.

[Captain Hilts]

18. He's a sexist shit. Other than that, he's perfectly okay!!!

[KharmaTrain]

6. A Lot Of Misinformation and Conjecture...Just Like Some On DU

As always, when a story suddenly erupts, our "beloved" corporate media is quick to pontificate before even giving any background or brining in actual experts rather than their usual suspects. They are judge and jury and always ready to make a snap judgement with little consideration of facts or history and more for their own personal and political agendas.

Yes, the GOOP would LOVE to tie Blago to President Obama...even better, if they can keep their favorite stalking horse, Tony Rezko's name in the mix. No need for facts...we saw them play guilt-by-association all last campaign.

This smells like an attempt to create a new Whitewater or other "mess" that they hope Obama will bite so they can spread their slime and try to knock down his popularity thus his ability to push legislation. I saw that shitstain Erik Cantor the other day all but saying this was what they're were gonna try to do.

Remember, the corporate media lives on stirring shit...if the world was beautiful and things were above board, they'd have nothing to report. So, if they can't find facts to fit their agenda, they just make shit up.

Thank goodness for alternative news sources.

8. You're not enraged, you're miffed.

The people in Athens are enraged.

At ease, Keyboard Commandos!

.

[T Wolf]

13. Correct! And until we all-too-comfortable Americans react with the same intensity and

commitment as others (e.g., the Greeks) to the shit spewed by the media, in all its forms, they will continue to carry water for the repukes.

Unfortunately, I doubt that Americans are capable of getting beyond our comfort zone of polite dissent.

[ErinBerin84]

9. true

and nothing else has changed, but just because a few days have passed and the media was not sufficiently indulged, they act more "suspicious".

[H2O Man]

11. They have an agenda.

The facts will not get in their way.

[bdamomma]

12. time to complain to MSNBC

and e-mail them.

MSNBC, Viewer Services, [e-mail] (oh oh bad address undeliverable message just came back to me).

[gratuitous]

15. The selective genius of the popular media

Blagojevich is from Illinois. Obama's from Illinois. Jackpot!

But Scooter Libby? How could he possibly have any connection with the Bush White House? Torture? Guantanamo? Oh, these things just happen. Spontaneous confluence of circumstances. No way any connection could possibly be established between the practices of this administration and anyone in the administration. It's just all too confusing and complicated!
