Why Is The MSM Affording So Much Attention On The Responses To The SOTU Address?......

Did I hear there is going to be four (4) responses to the President's SOTU Address?

Nothing like ganging up on the President.

And why is the media going along with all this? A Repug response is what is expected - but it looks like the Repugs (all factions of their party) want to quadruple team the President and get their licks in.

I hope the American People aren't that stupid to listen to all of these rebuttals.

The corporate media is complicit in the undermining of this Presidency. It's a dirty shame.

Since about 1996, when the Mass Communications Act took effect, and let all the toothpaste out of the tube. When the republican
party bought all the media. Because it finally could.

and has ruined our democracy. And Democrats in the yoke of the "Third Way" like the Clintons, are just as responsible as the Repubs.

But unlike the Repubs working for the right wing without mercy, not every Democrat is working on behalf of the DLC.

(Sigh,) only the ones with any power.
