President Obama just told Democrats to turn off the 'echo chamber' of cable news and m$nbc cut away

[spanone]

bwahahahahahahaaa

cnn is still watching

[tridim]

1. Doh, not good MSNBC. TDS is going to equate you to Faux now.

[asdjrocky]

2. And he and Harry had a good laugh about not listening to the blogs.

[WhiteTara]

3. Blanche demanded that they "push back

against their own party" What an evil woman. Go Bill Halter!

[asdjrocky]

5. And when she said it-

President Obama placated her by calling the Democratic Party the "party of business" and then he went on to dis the New Deal.

Two peas in a pod if you ask me.

[WhiteTara]

6. I had to leave the room when she said that

I would have thrown up if I had heard the response. We are so screwn!

[mmonk]

11. The Democrats are.

That is an exchange that can be used against the loyal but ignored and chastised Democratic voter that voted for change.

4. Well since Comcast won't carry it around here anyway I watch CNN.

[Romulox]

7. What about the echo chamber of Wall Street insiders and neo-liberal advisers?

:hi:

[wtmusic]

8. Love it. Spin takes a hit. nt

[spanone]

10. yea, maybe now they'll run some republican spin.

:sarcasm:

[Pirate Smile]

9. MSNBC just acted like complete immature assholes.

[sufrommich]

12. Yes, they did. Shame on them, no different than Fox cutting

away from the president.

[spanone]

13. to be fair, they are back to the President now.

[Pirate Smile]

15. I don't know how long they cut away for before they went back because I

turned to CNN when they did it. Shuster made a little snide comment about what the President said when they cut away and I didn't hang around to see what else they did. I was kind of shocked by it actually.

[spanone]

16. i went back and they were talking over the pres.....having a panel about what he's talking about

made no sense at all

[malaise]

14. Is there a CNN on line link? n/t

[Karmadillo]

17. And blogs, too, he said. That way, instead of being spun by the Corporate Media, we can be

spun by the Corporate Government.

[Pirate Smile]

18. Did you hear what the hell he said because it doesn't sound like it.

He said too much focus was on the politics of everything & how the politicians and political parties are effected. Cable News and a lot of blogs focus on the political implications and don't focus on how it effects the AMERICAN PEOPLE. He said to turn off cable news and talk to your constituents back home. Focus on helping them and stop focusing just on what the political implications are.

You are bashing the President for saying that.

[Karmadillo]

19. I can't find a transcript yet, but I'll assume (and hope) I was wrong. If the Dems listen

to their constituents and if they're serious about acting on what they hear, we'll get Medicare for All.

The Question. “Should the government in Washington provide national health insurance, or is this something that should be left only to private enterprise?”

32% Private enterprise
59% Government
9% Don’t know
