Everyday I'm Becoming More & More Angry Of Seeing These Repugs Come On News Shows And Lie......

[global1]

So far today it was Tim Pawlenty and Kay Baily Hutchison and some other so-called financial guru - lying their asses off. When they are challenged they don't answer the question or respond they just spin into some other talking point or just restate their lies.

Pawlenty was asked point blank what will Rmoney do to prevent another JP Morgan debacle - and he just BS'ed and actually said Rmoney would lessen regulations on banks and then really had no other real answer.

They don't have answers or if they do they don't want to state them because they are so bogus.

1. Proves who owns the media when they get away with this stuff. No real questions allowed.

3. You think they aren't allowed to ask real questions?

Here I just thought they were too dull to ask questions.

5. Sometimes the willfully ignorant (or dull as one might imagine) at least know to please their boss.

The assumption of stupidity from punditry is a way of not assessing the power structure these guys are working in. For us to call them stupid is a cheap thrill we indulge ourselves by not acknowledging these people may be just as learned as we assume ourselves to be in most life situations.

They are essentially sales people and know the system they work in. Many pundits who cross or run foul of the corporate line are no longer in their employ. That has a chilling effect on those there still making a good living. Just as in any other corporate organization.

It's not exactly the college debate team, they need a job and they aren't free to say what they think.

2. Wish pundits and stations were fined for knowingly spreading

Falsehoods. Kinda silly that that is ok but a wardrobe malfunction or curse word isn't permitted. I mean which does more damage?

4. "so bogus" or so horrific, as in, "We're putting US real estate & Labor on international auction

blocks, in order to cover the gambling debts that made Pawlenty, Hutcison, et al rich."

6. Turn It Off

The best way to control your anger, is to just quit watching these stupid shows, with their stupid lying guests.

It's all about hype, ratings, and pushing their agenda. You are just a pawn in their game, especially when you continue watching.

7. I disagree, they have to be challenged for every lie

IMHO lying should be illegal under all public circumstances. Get caught and be forced to explain the lie and the truth 10 times as many times as the original lie was told.

8. the media.....grrrrr
