1. "They're just as Bad!" (knowing full well they're NOT).
Yep, back to the same old bullshit from Republicans.

10. On this, I cannot agree more.
McCain this a.m. on Today show, blathering about how an "overwhelming" number of Americans do not support HCR . . . ??? Where the hell is he getting that? I haven't seen ANY poll that showed "overwhelming" anything.

11. I think its overwhelming because he keeps forgetting
how high he counted before he forgets what number he was on and has to start over.

14. I sent two e-mails ...
over a year period during the presidential calling Blitzer for the right wing shill he is, and letting them know I would stop watching if it continued ...

I always WANTED to believe in the brand, and the supposed neutrality, but it wasn't long after the second e-mail before I tuned out near permamently ...

Every now and again I wonder over there, and Rick Sanchez is pretty good. But, in the morning, when I am not watching Scab on MSNBC, I don't give CNN the business, either, and I don't tune in during the day ...

9. Unfortunately, this is nothing different from the last 15-20 years, maybe longer
I will say this: I used to think that to get THAT level of Gleichschaltung it would require guys with guns threatening family members.

How wrong I was. A little Corporatization, RW Intimidation and Paratization works just as well.

No one wants a Bad Performance Review, you know.

23. even Sanchez was doing the 'both sides' whining...
and I usually can almost bear him.

today was so much more frustrating than usual. I know they're a bunch of lying pigs but wow did they outdo themselves on this one. I was so friggin livid I could have cooked eggs on my forehead.

lying fuckety fucks

24. Blitzer was trying to make Emanuel sound like he was pissed
about not getting a pen at the signing. Wolfie just wouldn't let that one go. good lord he wouldn't pass for a good carwasher let alone a 'journalist'. - a journalist who just took Cantor's word for the shooting and didn't even look at the police report or investigate into that farce at all.

grrrr.

12. No surprise there.
I think the Repubs know that all they have to do is level some bullshit charge to give the MSM an excuse to give them all the attention they want.

:puke:

13. I don't watch CNN anymore
It is painful to watch and I can't stand most of their "talking heads". Blitzer is the worst. I can't figure out how he became so successful. I have dishrags with more personality.

15. Blitzer slipped up yesterday...
Rick Sanchez asked Blitzer why the repubs weren't coming on Blitzer's show to condemn the violence instead of just shipping off an e-mail as they did. Blitzer responded that he thought the repubs were genuine, "we" don't want this, he said. Uh huh, dyed in the wool repub is Blitzer.

16. Like Clockwork.
When the RNC look bad they always lie and say Democrats are doing it too and the media salivatingly picks it up.

17. They all say, "BOTH sides do it." And that's accepted as fact. Except for David Shuster
today-when he had Armstrong Williams on and HE said both sides do it, Shuster said that isn't true and Arsmtrong should know better than that. I wrote to thank him for that.
