it amazes me the all channels carry tiger wood's press conference, but if the president speaks

2. Doesn't amaze me at all.
That's the M$M's SOP.

Why so many people still watch it so often, I'll never understand.

3. There is a saying that I learned as a teenager which is useful in these situations
"If you cannot dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit!"

4. The President might be brainwashing us all into Socialism.
Wasn't that the argument why the POTUS could not telecast a welcome message to students at the start of the school year?

5. The people aren't as interested in what the President has to say. No real mystery here.

7. and ESPN ,a sports network calls it like a "Magic Show" mocking the presser..
I guess fucking around is more important to the media ..than say..people losing their jobs..or JP Morgan office getting bombed in Greece..or the boy down the street getting Killed in Iraq or Afghanistan..

You know..its all about Priorities..

Fucking around is ..well you know..important.:sarcasm: :wtf: :shrug:
