How Fucked Up Is America When CBS Nightly News Tries To Make Folks Feel Bad For Billionaires?

[Vinnie From Indy]

America's cheerleader, Katie Couric just did a story on CBS Nightly News about how BILLIONAIRES in America have been "hurt" by the current economic downturn. Gee, I wonder how many of them have sat up all night in a cold sweat terrified about the prospects of feeding and housing their families? I guess CBS wants me to know that the pain is being felt all over.

American mainstream media has become a grotesque carnival of the bizarre, irrelevant and untrue.

I hope it doesn't play well.

3. Hurt is when you have to cut back to eating meat twice a week.

Not when you have to postpone hiring a fourth steward to work on your yacht.

Those assholes don't have a clue what the word "hurt" really means.

7. Gee. Allan Stanford said it felt great to be a billionaire

I guess I'm left with Jon Stewart's response to Stanford for all the nervous billionaires.
