You would think that I am on another planet. The MSM proves that no matter how well Obama does they will diss him. The MSM is a direct threat to this country and even now more dangerous than the terrorists. The election would be over were it not for this fascist media.

(8,646 posts)By that I mean: I've always been one to think it was ridiculous to march in lockstep and I do think that criticizing the President only makes him better. However, it's become glaringly apparent that unless Democrats unite, unquestioningly, completely around Barack Obama, the MSM will drive the narrative on everything the President does. What the Democrats have to do is spread themselves around to every news station in the country, local, cable, etc, and tell everyone, no matter what happens in every debate, on every issue that the President, Vice-President, Democrats WON, ARE RIGHT, HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH etc. No more bad words, no more criticizing. It's the ONLY way they are going to get past the MSM blackout.

Biden did great last night, and regardless of the dimished responses you may be hearing from the media the truth is people heard the message about abortion, the Supreme Court, social security and medicare. Thing will start to move, and as long as the President continues with the momentum we will win

Yes, we have some outlets that won't let up, no matter what. But that doesn't support the 'MSM is even worse' meme.
They are just as bad as they've always been. Some of them are not so bad.

(9,463 posts)our media used to make great fun at the expense of Pravda and the Soviets.
What is happening today in the MSM is unconscionable. They, all of them, MSNBC included, are undermining this nation and our way of life. It is so, so infuriating to watch.
It's OK for Romney to "perform" the way he did but Joe Biden is a bully? We're living in an alternate universe these days.

(348 posts)My husband was appalled at Morning Joe this morning.
I just howled with laughter.
The GOP is on the ropes again, and now the shills are grasping at straws. This teaches us a lesson tho: when a GOPer does poorly, as Ryan did, they did not pan him. They RALLIED to thwart the media drumbeat.
This is what every liberal should have done last week after the president's debate.
I hope we've all learned something here.
And never forget: the MSM needs a "horse race" for their ad revenues.

(129,228 posts)They have gotten to the point where their anti-Dem "laugh-track" has been a video of the debate last night, between 2 re-districted Democrats (Brad Sherman and Howard Berman) that almost came to blows. They have played it over and over and over to support the Dem bashing.
newspeak
(4,847 posts)our media has had their own corporate agenda for some time. why hire bully water boys like limpballs, o'llielly-and wackos like beck? they've hired these blowhards for a reason-I believe it's to divide the plebes and creating poor scapegoats to protect their plutocratic, corporate arses.
and murdoch is one of the worse things to ever happen to this country. remember when faux called the presidential election early, like it was in the bag? remember when a faux talking head was fired for refusing to tell a lie?
great, brave journalists back in the eighties attempted to get the truth to the public about the corruption going on, and they DIED. and some of the same players who should have been sitting in a damn prison; instead, were allowed in our government under little boot's administration. they've caused so much harm to this country.
after 911, which journalists were sent the anthrax? not the waterboys and girls, just journalists who could possibly be against little boot's agenda. I remember well the mcpravda media carrying water for little boot's lie of a war. of course, some of those networks were going to make money. they care more about lining their pockets, than this country and the majority of the people. and that's why our democratic republic is eroding; without an honest, balanced fourth estate, how can we make a rational decision?

(36,487 posts)This has been the case for awhile, but they no longer even try to hide their disdain for the common people. There's a thread today about Morning Joe & the contempt they all had for seniors, basically accusing them of being selfish by taking social security. They should willingly cut their benefits so their grandchildren will not suffer.
This said by a group of assholes who have been making six figures for most of their lives, sitting in a chair. Talk about selfish.
