Rght Wing Media has new tatic for election

If there is a major speech by a Republican, they will show
the speech live and uninterpreted.

If there is a major speech by a democrat, they will have the speech
in the background, while the talking heads will talk over it.

W speech: edit out the stumbles and stupid shit. Only show best sound bites.

Kerry speech: show visual while giving an highly inaccurate 'summary' of what he said.

In general this is how it works w these 'reporters' when they do 'interviews':

Hard-nosed steely-eyed skepticism of anything Democrat says.

Wide-eyed wonder and delight at any lie a Republican says.

I just got sick of the lies.

If they want to deliver my passive body to their sponsors, they'll have to earn that privilege.

They have shown no interest in doing so.

for themselves. Much easier to let someone tell them what to think.

When Michelle fist-bumped Barack after a speech and a Faux News bimbot declared it a "terrorist fist bump."
