Screw the MSM
All of them keep cutting it away to allow "experts" tell us what is going on.

I guarantee tonight they will spin it

1. Obama is going to shove this down our throat
2. Democrats think they know what is best for us and they are arrogant.

This from the piece of shit assholes who think the American public is too stupid to watch and make up their mind and they are too fucking arrogant to shut up.

4. send me your email
I will send it to them with the F words. What a joke to have to watch online or switch around to eliminate the talking heads arrogant BS. And I include both sides, a Democrat should have said, "why don't we quit talking and go back to the coverage at Blair.

It would be like watching a football game with thirty minutes of coverage randomly provided from the studio.

5. They serve their audience
Who's their audience? Their audience is a small, but vocal group of people.These people believe that less for themselves is fine, as long as it means more for the corporation. They also believe that more for themselves is awful if it means less for the corporations.
Then these same people go around the country with their faux populist freak shows. "They're just looking out for the little guy" they'll tell you. But in reality everything they stand for is self-defeating and only serves the boots on their throats that hold them down every day.
That's where our country is right now.

15. they serve an agenda -- and agenda bought and paid for with marketing dollars
the MSM is merely an extension of the GOP political wing and the media is an avenue for deep pockets to influence the electorate day after day after day after day and there is NO campaign finance laws to worry about in the least. The deep pockets advertise and the media outlets cater to their every whim.

7. it is true the Republican or conservative commentators are all spinning this.
The ones I have heard even sound shrill. And, I keep hearing the turns like ram,rush,shove,cram,force and push this through. Obviously, the Repub talking point is to just start all over.

8. The talking point may be to start over but what they really mean is
flush the whole thing and forget about it.

10. They "experts" are trying to sway viewer opinions before anyone has a
chance to form their own. Because they think we're that stupid. But to be fair, Republicans ARE that stupid.
