The corporate media is pathetic

[SHRED]

But you know this.

They have a lot of nerve to point fingers like this.

1. Great tweet Shred

[SHRED]

8. Thank you

[Vinca]

2. He does make a point. How many times do you hear a Democrat step up to the plate and

directly go after Trump or his merry band of idiots on anything? Rarely. Some of the candidates are weighing in, but the rank and file seem to be hunkered down in make no waves mode. It really makes me furious sometimes.

[SHRED]

3. If we got coverage like dump does

That perception would change.

We are relegated to CSPAN

[Vinca]

5. If we made noise we'd get more attention. I'm particularly pissed off that nearly every

time the Idiot-In-Chief opens his mouth he trashes Obama. Every time that happens I would like every Democrat within range of a camera and microphone to scream bloody murder. If it takes saying something outrageous to get on television, say something outrageous. Drop the "F" bomb the way Beto did the other day. Sadly, we're still at the point where some elected Democrats keep uttering the BS about working with Republicans. I'm sick of it.

[SHRED]

11. No we wouldn't

The oligarch owned corporate media sees to it we stay down.

Control the media and you control the message.
Control the message and you control the people.

17. limbag has been trashing and lying about obama 8 years in office and since inauguration, leading

1500 radio stations from his 600. democrats need to go on offense and destroy the rw talk radio monopoly that takes free potshots at dem reps and ideals all day long. there is no challenge from the left. we cannot collectively say we're getting any dem reps back as long as the progressive groups and dem party ignore talk radio. limbaug has been screaming about a deep state coup led by obama and clinton and soros for nearly 3 fucking years getting death threats sent their way and polluting jury pools and enabling and intimidating judges for any investigation and now that shit graham and others are predictably pushing to get obama under oath.

to me that's what's been pathetic for 30 years.

what would get their attention is protests and boycotts of RW radio stations and protests at the universities that support them

19. I loverd it when Beto dropped the F-bomb

There's no decency in Washington today. There's Pootie's puppet, the NRA and white supremacists. And that's it.

9. They don't get covered by the press

They used to do this more. But they give up. Because the press doesn't report this, or get Dems on their shows.

[TwilightZone]

20. Agreed.

The criticism has been pretty persistent. It just doesn't get coverage because it's drowned out by Trump and his merry band of morons. That's by design, of course.

[SHRED]

10. Not the point of my post

The message here is hypocrisy and I will damned if I sit by while the corporate media attacks our party while giving tRump massive airplay.

[Vinca]

16. If the media is attacking our party, our party needs to set them straight.

Call a press conference, erect microphones in front of the Capitol, call Trump names if it takes uttering his name to get attention. Anything!

[triron]

13. It disturbs me to no end.

[TwilightZone]

18. They do it all the time.

The press just doesn't cover them, for the most part.

22. No 'sense of empathy': Harris scolds Trump for golfing as hurricane approaches

Folks should at least google, before tweeting or re-tweeting a statement as truth. While the media is not perfect, relying on tweets just is not wise.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/no-sense-of-empathy-harris-scolds-trump-for-golfing-as-hurricane-approaches/ar-AAGHWQh?li=BBnb7Kz

The California senator was responding to questions about whether the president was responding appropriately to a deadly shooting in Texas on Saturday and an impending hurricane. "He just does not have the ability to really have a sense of empathy for people who are enduring hardship or enduring pain," she said of the president, and described the fact that he played golf today as "not surprising."

Harris echoed previous comments she had made about Trump last month. "He generally shows no evidence of any natural ability to have empathy," Harris said of Trump during an Aug. 8 interview on CNN, just after fatal shootings in Texas and Ohio. "I think that this president doesn't really have the capacity to have empathy, and my heart goes out to not only the families, but also the leaders of those communities who are trying to pull it together and stand strong."

The senator also alluded to what she perceived to be Trump's fixation on size, noting his robustly attended campaign rallies. "His preoccupation with size, I'll leave that for someone else to analyze," Harris said. "But I will say that this president has used the platform that is given to the office of president of the United States in a way that has been about trying to divide our country."

4. well, Sam Stein JUST lost his job recently.

I'm not sure if his new gig has been announced.

I'll cut him slack for now. I like him.

[SHRED]

6. This tweet shows

He's still doing their bidding.

[Champp]

7. US taxpayers are paying for a Republican billionaire to golf today?

Again? While the nation is under threat?

What is up with the Republicans?

This is so sick. So sad.

[Traildogbob]

21. Damn trump

Sick of these coastal Govenors staging pressers surrounded by props that day nothing and telling us they have spoken to trump and he is observing the situation and is committed to help. FUCK TRUMP! He does not give a damn. He stole FEMA money. He will show up with paper towels and Play Dough for photos. If you tell me you spoke to trump, you are an idiot and I have no confidence you know a damn thing either.

25. Democratic leaders need to stage protests in the Capital and get arrested if needed to bring

attention to this mans incompetence and lack of empathy. How about a Dem leader take a stand over guns and stage a hunger strike at the Capital until something g is done about guns.

26. Should I should plan on burning my

Gregg Shorthand awards for stenography at this month's 50th reunion? LOL! I hope to have evolved in maturity. I too find the "both-sides" premise unconscionable, and have eliminated a few social media "good" friends I thought were educated enough to know better than sit on the fence about racism, lies, and corruption. The menace in the WH and Senate has to go. The media can't have it both ways. Let's color this election Blue!
