If you're one of those losers that turn your TV on every day

turn it to MSNBC. They have the best Iowa coverage. On CNN, their coverage is skimpy and of the "oh gee...what's a caucus?" variety.

CorpMedia takes its cue from the high echelons of government: What should we expect when the press secretary to the POTUS doesn't know what the "Cuban Missile Crisis" was.

White House press secretary admits she didn't know what Cuban Missile Crisis was
John Byrne
Published: Monday December 10, 2007

History has a way of repeating itself.

White House press secretary Dana Perino has been front and center of the White House's push to continue to label Iran a rogue state for its pursuit of uranium enrichment technology.

This comes against the backdrop of a new intelligence estimate positing that the Islamic state abandoned its nuclear weapons in 2003.

Turns out she doesn't know quite so much about nuclear weapons as she supposes. And we're not talking about Iran.

Appearing on National Public Radio's quiz show, "Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me," this weekend, Perino admitted a story she'd previously only shared in private: When a reporter asked her a question during a White House briefing in which he referred to the Cuban Missile Crisis -- she didn't know what it was.

--more--
Rawstory

CorpMedia: "Oh, gee...what's a caucus?"
Press Secretary: "Oh, gee...what's the 'Cuban Missile Crisis?'"

Isn't it bad enough we're being led by rabid, war-mongering neo-cons that we have to settle for ignorant rabid, war-mongering neo-cons?

edited to add question mark...

15. And You Would Know This Because.........????
And you would know about MSNBC's coverage because........?

And you would also know about CNN's coverage because.......?

I think I'll get my coverage of today's caucuses tomorrow.

In a newspaper.

What kind of person judges other people to be "losers"?

And what kind of person is concerned about "coverage" of an event that isn't even over yet?

32. tv, what is a tv? haven't had a real one since 1979!
and never intend to get one, either.

Hubby had a tv- for watching videos. I had tv on the computer for a short while, but at $50/mo, dumped it after several months... only watched Food Channel, HGTV, and occasionally the History Channel anyway, never news...

downloaded the proper package for Linux and now occasionally watch DVDs on my laptop...
