NBC is covering Obama/Gates/Crowley like the MOON LANDING tonight |
|
It is hard not to think that America is doomed watching nightly network news. NBC Nightly News has spent the first EIGHT MINUTES discussing the incident. They followed that with a story about how Obama has BEEN defeated on healthcare followed by quotes by Sen. Hatch and Sen. Cornyn about voting against Sotomayor.
One of the greatest lie ever told by the GOP is that the media is Liberal.

1. Media is pro-profit only... |

...and will do whatever gets them to that end, ideals of a Fourth Estate be damned.

3. this is really insane. Two 'incidents' that barely deserve a mention |
|
are the Ricci case - as far as Sotomayor's involvement - and this. Yet when the media is out to - uh - lynch someone they are relentless.

4. The same thing on MSNBC -- Obama's Gates "Gaffe" , then Obama's "Failure" on Healthcare |

They were alternating those two stories all afternoon.
I am so frigging sick of the media. I really want to scream.
Man I wish they would bring back Michael Jackson coverage.

5. Ahem, this is the media's fault? |
|
Are you seriously telling me that the left (ie, us, among others) had nothing to do with making this into a cause celebrea nd blowing it way, way, WAY out of proportion? Sorry, after reading umpteen angry threads about this unfortunate incident on DU all week, claims that it's all the media's fault ring hollow.

Maybe we will get more police officers to act within the law now??
