MSNBC

I am new to DU. Will confess I am naive to the various biases. My thought tonight was that Biden cleaned Ryan's proverbial clock. WTF? Cannot find that anything close to that in MSM! I am not a life long Democrat! Actually voted for GB2 twice...will not get into the reasons here! WTF?!

They are still on it, have been since the debate ended. Not sure what MSNBC channel the OP is, or was watching. But anyway you are correct about someone seeing the light that's great. Sending encouragement to the OP.

CNN claims the debate was a draw but its own online poll states Biden won 65-35% currently. CNN claims that Obama was weak for not speaking up more, but Biden was boorish for speaking up too much. Apparently Romney and Ryan both spoke up adequately as neither is being commented on. Remember, the media is in the business of making news.

The 4th Estate is a lap dog for the elite most times.

They call it a Liberal Media because it used to present the facts and the various takes on the facts that were important for people to know and understand to make up their own mind. That's what people USED to call the NEWS. Now we have people telling us what we think and why we think the way we do without really consulting us about it.

Even if Obama walked on water at this point, they would find a way to make him "uppity" about it.

Biden did!! I can't believe CNN says Ryan has 48% & Biden has 44%!! That seems like a serious delusion!! In no universe, did Ryan even come close to winning!! The polls next week will prove that.....

Btw, I am a lifelong democrat! But I live in deeply red Oklahoma....

If you're supporting democrats now (& it sounds like you are) MSNBC is the best place to get news.....

they want to pay less taxes,
and have huge profits cause that's what corporations are about.

They don't give a fuck about America or the American people
as long as direct deposit hits their bank account on payday.....
