MSNBC covered Obama's LinkedInTown Hall for 15 minutes. |

It's pathetic that the media doesn't cover the POTUS for a full event-EVER. What good is the bully pulpit if nobody covers him? They spend more time talking about Chris Christie than covering our President.

2. Right, but they'll cover Palin events w/special coverage & commentators anytime, anyhow, anywhere. |
|
Gee, you'd never guess huge corporations (who are now people like you and me, thanks to Citizens United) own the media. Thanks, Bill Clinton, for deregulating the media!

5. Exactly. I hope that more people are coming to understand this MSM bias |
|
and how it undermines the President's use of the "bully pulpit".
And when he's out there on the road (FAR more frequently than you know if you rely on the biased MSM to keep you apprised), this is why he's asking the crowds to talk to people. He needs them to help this effort because the MSM is in the GOP's pocket.
It's too bad there are still some who think HE is the one not doing enough. That's what happens when people buy into the MSM narrative.

10. not exactly news is it? esp now that he is in campaign mode. White House could get its own cable |
|
for such things, whether the pres is a dem or repub then it would be available live all the time :-)
