So, I switched over to the "world news" to see a snippet of the interview |
|
with Brian Williams.. AND now I understand how older American's are snowed and believe McCain is still in this race. That 1/2 hour is a huge block of older Americans who don't bother with those internets and if they do only check their e-mails (which we know are spammed with dis-info). They made McCain "hard-hitting" the campaign trail at home.. showing once again the little bit on him saying going abroad and giving speaches is wrong. Even though, he was just in Columbia a couple of weeks ago, giving speaches and sitting pretty by the hostages as they arrived safely to freedom.
Our snooze media is trying its best to steal this election. Its been such a long time since I've watched that mini-1/2 hour of "world news" that I forgot how bad it is.

4. ABC is just a propaganda catapulter. |
|
...like the other corporate-dominated media. I rarely watch anymore, though once I was a nightly devotee. They have lost me, as they have lost almost every intelligent person I know -- and I know lots of people. Most everyone with discernment sees through their lameass pose.
ABC and corporate cohorts have debased the profession of journalism, and turned their back on the American people to lick the corporate-republicon boot.
They merit no respect.
Ptooey.

5. BW was hounding Obama... |
|
it seemed a little over the edge where BW was going with his questioning; making Obama repeat his answers at times. I don't know, but I flipped the channel about 2 minutes into the interview because I couldn't stand how Obama was being portrayed on "World News". I'll stick with my DU family... :)

8. Everything on tv is just "filler"..between the commercials |
|
and all the "experts" just seem to be pushing a book they had published by another arm of the network they are hawking it on..

11. There used to actually be a "wall" between the divisions, but |

once news was folded into and under the control of the entertainment division, we were doomed..

12. That's why I understand why McCain is in the lead over Obama with these folks. |
|
They aren't getting any substance and reality.. they are fed lies.

That will tell you if you're watching a show targeting an older demographic.
