Yeah, just repeat the same tired old meme that Democrats don't support the troops. I'm disgusted to hear that on my T.V.

Get a clue, NBC. It's a new day, stop repeating Republican talking points!

1. They cannot/will not stop.
The newsreaders on cable and the MSM are simply following the lead of their corporate bosses. Their bottom line is the name on the bottom right of the paycheck. The corporate media combines are trembling in their boots at the possibility of their sweetheart relationship with the Bush administration becoming the subject of deep scrutiny.

You may never hear about it on the air, but some people could easily wind up in jail.

2. They've been spewing wingnut talking points for years now.
The public's response to that was a political rout that showed their contempt for those lies.

And it's going to continue to be a problem until we the people say enough is enough.

4. NBC is a war profiteer network !
Owned by giant GE which sells all kinds of stuff to the military. NBC News is just the propaganda branch of the weapons corp.

5. The Neocon Broadcasting Network....
The troops are gaining support...and a party in charge of Congress that gives a damn and believes their lives are more important than politics.

6. Get used to it. For them to be reasonable would be to admit they were wrong...
... and that's something that Americans don't do.

Get used to it.

7. Let's not forget that their credibility is nearly as low as
the Republican Congress's. The corporate media in general, I mean.

They're rightfully afraid they're about to become irrelevent.
