Anyone need to vent about this Morning's "Morning Joe" Media Whorefest? If you were watching?
I learned that Mike Barnacle had a kid five years after having a vascectomy and the kid looked at the TV Screen and pointed to Russert and called: "DADDY!" Big Yuck Fest about that with Mika, Joe, Russert and Barnacle. Barnacle says the doctor who performed the failed vasectomy was probably a Catholic. More laughing and chortling about how Hillary is out of money and begging folks to give her more, but her folks are "tapped out." More about how Obama is the one with folks under 50 and he's going to sweep NH. (I guess there aren't many over 50 who care about his message :eyes:) Poor David Schuster just sat there looking like a guy who walked into the wrong party and couldn't find the door to leave as the rest yukked and spewed their nonesense. He was the only adult at the table.

I learned that Matthews says his Panel of Political Experts ...12 to 0 said Obama WILL WIN the Nomination. Pat Buchanan said he thought Hillary would hang in. No mention of Edwards at that point.

The McMedia seems to be very Giddy about the Youth Vote and how great the next five days will be for America. I assume that means that the rest of the country should just stay home on election day? Those folks with primaries in May and June who don't have a vote. Another Election...this time blatently stolen by the McMedia in plain view and there will be many who will think that it's a good thing, I guess. Why bother having those candidates actually stump in 50 States when the whole thing can be decided in January by the laughing bobble heads. :shrug:

1. David Shuster may have been quiet because he does not appear to support Obama
I've noticed over the past few weeks that he's been more critical of Obama.

3. I seem to remember before 2004
the MSM hyped the YOUTH vote and how they were going to come to the polls in droves and "change" the world. Gee I wonder if they knew what the ballot box was, cause none of them showed up. It sure fizzled out. Wonder if they are going to "change" the world again in 2008.

4. You're absolutely right.
I didn't watch Joe but you have the McMedia figured out perfectly.

6. When I started reading this post about Daddy, I thought you were going
going to speak about the interview this A.M.Something about Obama's dad. I didn't see it but overheard it from the next room. The discussion was about why Obama's Dad was not with him. His father went back to Africa to be with all his other wifes,and other children? Did anyone hear this? However, I did see the part about the panel all being for Obama. It is a strange and curious awareness that our media is not reporting the facts, but a personal agenda. If I were Obama I would be just as concerned. Wait until the competition is between A Democratic front runner and a Republican front runner?

7. They interviewed Edwards.
Then not another word about him. Smack! As if he does not exist.

No mention of Hillary's slip about the Iraq war yesterday.

No mention of Obama having a lobbyist as his NH co-chair.

8. just remember how they buried al gore in a pack of media lies ...
remember how they praised and deified the bushit boy -- see it repeated again as the pack of mediawhores elevates duplicitous obama to a throne of righteousness he has not really earned ... see them lie about hillary, and edwards and anyone else, they, or the bushes (who are the ones who run this country) want-not sitting at the oval office.

9. And tonight it's Hillary's Crying Jag and Bill calling her "Old" Great Memes
but unfortunately Bill & Hillary played right into it figuring the Blogs are dumb...or they don't know blogs except as tools and the McCorporate Media Bush with Congress ALLOWED THIS...along with MURDOCH OWNERSHIP!

But..whatever it was...the dirty media is biting the "hand that fed them." Sad, that Bill & Hillary didn't see that coming ...or maybe it was their OWN Dirty Trick against the McMedia...that might have worked in the 90's but won't work now with a much more cynical and widespread blogospher running the Right and Left wing media who will interpret it all not to their advantage.......
