The daily outrage here in GDP regarding the MSM is almost laughable. Fucking groundhog day every day. Tweety says that----Beck says this----check out Limbaugh's latest.... Andrea oh my, Joe Scar, Wolf----- Dobbs..... can you believe they said that!!!!!!!!!????????

Ugg!

1. Playing right into the M$Ms hands.
I know what you mean. People complain so much about the M$M on DU, but yet that's all they talk about, and that's all they seem to watch.

Turn off the tube! :mad:

I watch---CNN, MSNBC, I even take a peek at Faux, too. Sometimes I just want to watch the news, or have it on as background noise.


Some reports are good, some are not...the M$M is biased at times...they are far too influential as they should be...but If I complained as much as some do here, I just wouldn't watch. Why are they watching? They are contributing to the M$M's massive ego, and viewership, which allows these shows to continue.

2. Your post included, about 5% of the posts in GD:P are about the MSM
Considering the MSM's influence on low information voters, I'd say we're not talking about it enough.

3. The recent uptick in MSM threads
is a clear indication the Wall Street marionette media is beginning their assault on Obama.
A little earlier than scheduled, but McCain is tanking, so they gotta get busy.

4. We'd fight about whether Olive Garden was any good or not. And
No, it's NOT. If you want real Italian food, come to my house.

8. LOL. Well, I haven't breast fed anyone in 20 years so I think
you're safe.

I am a closet sneaker (as opposed to smoker). Not even my husband knows I sneak. So you're safe from that as well.

6. Not much. He's really not running against McCain
so much as he's having to run against the corporate media's unwillingness to accept him and the end of Republican hegemony.

7. Part of the reason for websites like DU is to correct false assertions from the MSM
If nobody got outraged about the bullshit they spew then everybody would just go on believing it was all true.
