Our msm is ignoring huge stories while it concentrates on McCain talking points. |
|
Make no mistake about it, while our msm concentrates on the non issues like Joe the Plumber, Bill Ayers, and Acorn (All McCain talking points), it is totally blowing off the real stories of:
-Troopergate (Abuse of Power) -Huge numbers of voters being purged in 19 states (Many of them battleground states) due to Republic dirty tricks to suppress Democratic voter turnout - Obama's complaint to the special prosecute about coordinated efforts between Bush and McCain, using the justice department, to whip up false claims of voter fraud - McCains involvement with Keeting, Liddy, Contra groups, anti semite groups, and other extreme right wing fringe groups. - Sarah Palins connections with an extreme anti-american successionist group in Alaska
You may hear a faint mention from time to time about these issues, but when you consider how networks like CNN have spent hours and hours of news coverage on a non issue like Ayers, you can not walk away from the fact that there is something very very wrong with our msm (with the exception of Kieth and Rachael, who are in the tank for Obama, but non the less can get some honest coverage of real news).

1. It's because the Democrats aren't pushing them |
|
The Republicans, and McCain himself, push the talking points and talk about NOTHING ELSE. Covering them at all means covering their distractions.

2. To some extent their is truth in that, but I have noticed that when Dems do bring up some these |
|
issues, they are immediatly cut off. I seen this happen the other night on Larry King. Kennedy was on there bringing some of this stuff up. Reagan was stomping all over Kennedy when Kennedy was trying to speak. Larry allowed it, and yet when Kennedy did finally get a chance to speak of these things, it was time for a commercial break.
I have seen several Dems get stepped on when these issues come up. Coincidence? You be the judge.

3. When was the last time you heard Iraq or Afghanistan mentioned? |
|
People ARE still dying over there, but no one seems to care. That is to say the least irritating, I'm sure more so if one of my loved ones died or got maimed.
