[slor]

Are Democrats losing the Social Security debate?

Well gee, according to EVERY FRICKIN' POLL, the answer is NO!

2. Pablo Claims...

...this is how the question was phrased by the author of an article he's reading.

Yep, Brian's accolytes of the right working away on WJ this morning.

The bias on this programs gets worse all the time.

[lins the liberal]

3. I agree the bias is growing almost daily

If someone was watching this morning who had not read some of the polls etc. they would think that Bush was winning the SS battle hands down.

4. This Show Is Fax Blast Central

From one whose watched daily for years (there's so little else on to tune into at this hour), I used to appreciate the give and take and the show appeared to try to balance things. That's no longer the case.

Most days you'll see at a 2-1 ratio of Repugnicans and "think tankers" (from AEI or Heritage Institute) and the calls rae 3-2 Repugnican. I've noticed that when a Democrat misses their turn, the Repugnicans get the next call, but when it's the Repugnicans who miss their cue, they get another shot.

Listening to Vaughan Ververs or whomever their "reporter" is, is a treat in today's Repugnican blast fax points. Almost without fail, you'll hear the meme of the day chirp out on this show that is picked up later by Rushbo and Hannity and the radio haters and by night time become "the story" on Faux and CNNServative and MSGOP.

Today's distortion is a classic example. Yep, you picked up where the issue is being framed that somehow Bunnypants has turned this issue around and into his own. The way the question was framed, the way the calls were screened and put on and the way impression sure made it seem like it was yet another Democrat defeat.

5. you think that Vaughn Ververs is bad...

How about that greasy republican shill Chuck Todd? What a creep.

I'm in full agreement with what you had to say about CSpan. Brain Lamb has turned it into the subtle republican noise machine. Instead of taking the in your face style of FAUX News, this guy tries to present the show as fair to the unsuspecting.

6. I saw this crap this morning on WJ.

I thought the framing was horrible but interesting since they flipped it. They act like repukes are "winning" the fight. Also, the support *shrub or support dem switch was interesting. I figured Rove called WJ and told them to set it up like this. :mad:

7. 80 to 20 %.......the nation is divided

wtf. one of the many ways media manipulates reality
