Eric Alterman on C-SPAN talking about the media

[Tactical Progressive]

and his book 'When Presidents Lie', apparently mostly about Bush. I mean really, how hard of a book is that to write?

4. lmfao!

lofl, this was great.........

there was a guy from florida calling in to basically try to eviscerate alterman, like everyone else basically, and do their bidding for der furher, with his "liberals aren't interested in the truth" and "they think they're intellectually superior" nonsense, without ever bothering to substantiate his version of the facts (for instance, he thinks it's a lie that there has been a net loss of jobs under bush), and then after he was done, eric goes.....


"i think that speech was much better in its original german."



lmfao!!!!

5. kick

for that hilarious one-liner :P

7. Net Job Loss........

The reason Republicans do not believe Bush has had a net job loss is they listen to Rush and the other right-wing news sources. They have been saying it's all a lie put out by the liberal media, and that millions of people have become self employed who are not counted in the jobs report.

Even though it's the Bush administration who puts the numbers out. They are so brainwashed and so stupid they actually believe millions and millions of people are now self employed and they are not counted in the jobs report.
