:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: IS GOING ON HERE???????????????? The MSM must be in orgasmic mode over the Repuglican wins, what else could this be? Don't ya just love that liberal media?:nuke:

[dsc]

1. I will say congrats to CBS for being balanced

I don't think Clyburn is a token. As to the rest, I do think some Democratic perspective would have been nice to say the least.

[rhett o rick]

42. Fuck CBS

[cynatnite]

2. This is why I quit watching the Sunday shows...

What made it worse is that none of the hosts would challenge the repuke talking points. It got old fast.

[jillan]

8. I watch & I can't recall ever seeing a line-up like this before.

[glinda]

25. There has NEVER been straight line-up like this. We need Government intervention via an

executive order on the media conglomerations.

[cynatnite]

50. I remember quite a few like these when Bush was in office and the repukes had both houses. n/t

[molly77]

46. Republicans talk at length

Democrats usually get a few sentences out of their mouths and they are talked over/interrupted. None of the most articulate democrats are invited on the sunday shows. Joe Biden used to be on every sunday morning with nothing to say. Then Carl Levin. Producers are very very careful to pick the second and third string for sunday shows. Joe Biden first string? Not really . Was very surprised when he was chosen as VP. Then rahm emmanuel for chief of staff...seemed to be an agenda. Fail.Elect hillary in 2012.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. From the 14 points of fascism

6. A controlled mass media

Under some of the regimes, the mass media were under strict direct control and could be relied upon never to stray from the party line. Other regimes exercised more subtle power to ensure media orthodoxy. Methods included the control of licensing and access to resources, economic pressure, appeals to patriotism, and implied threats. The leaders of the mass media were often politically compatible with the power elite. The result was usually success in keeping the general public unaware of the regimes’ excesses.

It is easy... to understand what is going on.

We have been a fascist nation for a while... all the rest is fiction.

[AlinPA]

15. It's really happening now. The media is full throat for the republicans.

[OHdem10]

4. The Latest Narrative: Republicans run the place and do not

forget it.

[opihimoimoi]

5. Its PILING ON Phase...kick the Dems and cement the GOPer Base simultaneously

[Ruby the Liberal]

6. All the Dems are out of the country?

:D

[jillan]

11. Oh yeah - duh - they are all with Obama on that trillion dollar a day trip to India!!

How could I forget? :P

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. One more good reason to go outside and enjoy a nice fall day.

Shut off the damn tube. It's a waste of time anyway.

[spanone]

9. the media mandate has been set. silence the opposition.

i will have none of it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. Great story, hey? During the Bush years they needed Republicans on

because a Republican was president. Obama becomes president and we have the house and senate and they need Republicans on so that the story of the other side can be portrayed. And of course, we now need to discuss this so-great Republican tsunami with Republicans, of course....:sarcasm:

To me this is a huge untold story right before our eyes - the incredible dominance of the R side everywhere....but it fits right in with the up=down media reporting (sure, the media is liberal...sure, both sides get equal voice).

My outrage on this is so great and has been going on for so long that I just have to compartmentalize my anger.....and leave the box closed!

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[jillan]

12. Agreed - and what happened to Keith is just the icing on the cake.

I am beyond fed-up.

[still_one]

13. Then don't watch them, I don't. I haven't watched the MSM since 2000. I get my news from Bloomberg

or reading

and you know something, my blood pressure is much better

[spanone]

16. i'm the same way, but it doesn't change the fact that the balance is all wrong

[still_one]

26. no question about it, but it won't change unless people let them know they are not happy

If cnn, cnbc, msnbc, believe they can afford to lose viewers that a progressive, their ratings will go down even more. less ratings less sponsors

[glinda]

27. try Progressive Radio out of Colorado. I am.....

[madmax]

14. I think I'll sleep in

or pick up my dog's shit in the yard. I think the yard wins. At least it's not bullshit.

[jillan]

18. I need to do that as well. Dog shit or McConnell? Dog shit wins!

[johnnie]

17. Yay liberal media..

It's nothing new.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

19. Wow, not even a pretense?

Usually they'll throw out Harold Ford or some other useless DLC turd and claim that's "balance" but this time they aren't even going to bother.

[Dinger]

20. That's Fucked Up

No Sunday morning tv for me.

[redirish28]

21. What? Don't you know there is only ONE party in this country and the

mouth piece of that party is the People with Rs beside their names.

[MBS]

22. but Obama will be on 60 minutes!

sleep in on Sunday morning, and wait for 60 minutes in evening

[jillan]

23. Thank you - I needed that!

I can breathe again.

[glinda]

29. Is he going to send out a call for help during the show? He should.

[housewolf]

24. Thanks for the scheduling info

I just cancelled all my usual Sunday morning recordings

[The Backlash Cometh]

28. I'm getting a feeling that the Republicans are gearing up like they

did for the Bush Years.

[glinda]

30. They are coming for the total takeover before and after the next election and for years to come.

[The Backlash Cometh]

32. It's true. The typical voter has a short memory.

Or more to the point, the Democrats have no resolve in pointing out their mistakes so that voters will remember on election day.

[glinda]

34. The Democrats lack the loud direct speakers, constant outlet and media coverage.

[flamingdem]

31. YEECCH nt

[MagickMuffin]

33. This really isn't anything new, they have been doing this for a long long time

As a matter of fact IIRC Media Matters has done survey's on this and Sunday Talk shows always have far more republicons and white men then any other group of people.

I'm sure it might have something to do with the CEO's of these corps.


I suppose if more people raised a stink about it perhaps it might have a better outcome, however, don't hold your breath while waiting on anything to change.

[barbtries]

41. okay i hear you

i think i'll go to the contact pages of each of these shows and let them know why i don't watch them and how badly they serve the public.

[Enthusiast]

56. Yeah, the CEOs have a political agenda.

That is all.

[the redcoat]

35. I'm starting to get fed up with Eric Cantor's shit-eating grin. nt

[Canuckistanian]

36. I guess there aren'r any more Democratic opinions left

Welcome to the New Order.

[malaise]

37. Wins?

They only won the house.

[jillan]

39. Exactly - but to listen to the msm this week you would think they took over the entire world.

Why else is Mitchy getting interviewed more than Harry Reid? Harry just won an extremely tough election, but Mitch gets all the attention.

It's fucked up.

[malaise]

59. The corporate media no longer shock me

they speak for corporations

[glinda]

62. And only 29% os Americans voted and they represent less than that!

[barbtries]

38. gee

it's like all things considered these days.
i'm listening to music in my car a lot lately.

that is sickening.

[derby378]

40. To the victors go the spoils

Boeing, ADM, and all those guys will have doggie treats available after the mic gets cut off.

[eleny]

43. Paul Krugman will be on Fareed Zakaria's GPS program

"See why Fareed says that if this "Republican Revolution" doesn't manage to cut the deficit, the American people will be saying "Fool me three times, shame on me".

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman thinks the outlook for the next two years -- with a power split in Washington -- is "terrible". In an exclusive interview, Krugman goes head-to-head with the former chief economist of the IMF, the right-leaning Raghuram Rajan on what can be done to fix the U.S. economy...and whether it will ever GET done given the likely of gridlock in the nation's capital."

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/fareed.zakaria.gps/

[jillan]

44. Well that's good to hear. I wonder why they don't list GPS in my paper?

[glinda]

63. Because the other views will be shoved out of the general public's grasp.

[kayakjohnny]

45. People still watch tv?

Damn...

[theaocp]

47. No, I don't love the librul media

Call it what it is: the CONSERVATIVE MEDIA. Two can play at this game. Call each and every broadcast on teevee the "conservative media." I don't care from which station their horseshit originates. THEY. ARE. THE. CONSERVATIVE. MEDIA. Do not mention the "liberal media" again. Thanks!

[jillan]

48. It was a joke - I should've used the sarcasm smiley. The repugs are the only ones that call it that

I think the majority of Dems know the only Liberal Media is on FSTV.

[theaocp]

49. Sorry, that's not what I meant

I'm not feeling well in this autumn weather. :) I just don't want ANYONE to call it the liberal media, even if the pukes call it that. We need to change our message to ATTACK them incessantly. Our tactics will be guerrilla and will not cease. I will never recall the "liberal media," but will ALWAYS remember the days of the "conservative media." It will be as if the liberal media never existed. They can pick up the fucking pieces of their wasted lives in the aftermath. QED. :evilgrin:

[undeterred]

51. I don't watch the Sunday morning shows any more, and you just explained why.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

52. It might be interesting if the hosts would ask tough questions

but that won't happen. It also may be interesting if the republicans,

being so full of themselves, say some crazy shit.

[donco]

53. looks like a good

reason to sleep in.

[Darth_Kitten]

54. Won't all the Republicans be in church and missing this big time?

:sarcasm: :evilgrin:

[Enthusiast]

55. K&R

They gave all due consideration to Republicans because they were in the minority. Now they have them overly represented because they are in the majority. But it's a liberal media.

[deacon]

57. ...and K.O. suspended. Seems to be a pattern here. n/t

[deacon]

58. ...and K.O. suspended. Seems to be a pattern here. n/t

[TransitJohn]

60. Same as it ever was.

n/t

[The Uncola]

61. Screw 'em all..

.. there hasn't been any balance in teh MSM for well over a decade. Same shit, different Sunday.

[Kalyke]

64. And with the suspension of Keith, they have nearly carte blanche.

Liberal media? What liberal media?
