Why is media not reporting 'Stand with Walker' ad paid for by Koch's 'Americans for Prosperity?'

[flpoljunkie]

Particularly after Ian Murphy's 'prank' call where he posed as David Koch and had a long and damning conversation with Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker.

It is reported to be a $342,00 ad buy--which is considerable.

Watch it.

1. Because koch pays them too.

2. Joe is, however, running the clip of President Obama, saying he will join the picket line with union

members if their collective bargaining rights are threatened. They have run this clip multiple times this morning already on Morning Joe.

3. The media is not on the side of informing the American people.

4. And, sometimes they don't appear to have a clue about what's really going on.

5. If they cared about checking the information they would investigate.

They don't like to research anything. It requires too many people to do those jobs.

6. Can't argue with that.

7. There's a brick wall between ads and content

Only ads that support the content are allowed. And the content is decided by those who finance the content provider.

8. Koch's group should be re-named for what it really is: Americans for Their Own Prosperity".

They sure are working hard to see that what modest means the middle class has doesn't even come close to prosperity.

Rand Paul told a lie about Wisconsin's teacher's salaries on the David Letterman show last night. He claimed teachers get $89k when it's only half that amount (46k).

9. Why is M$M not reporting accurately about much in Wisconsin?

Because they are all well-behaved little corporate puppets. That's why the chirpy mid-day reporter on NPR announced today the Americans supported collective bargaining by a "slim margin" (61%?!!!). That's why Snotty will be on ALL the Sunday morning shows to whine about his put-upon self. That's why on the day after the tape was released only those of us who listened to MSNBC knew it existed.

M$M is worse than Faux. At least Faux is blatant ... the others are sneaky. They pretend to be objective, and therefore con more people. I blasted NPR twice in one day this past week for their appalling bad coverage of Madison. Then I realized WHY it was sooooo bad. I saw how many millions the Koch Bros. donated to them.
