Why do liberals torture themselves and watch that crap?

They spew RW shit all day. Evening time brings a little sanity.

He is great.

He had the funniest segment about a week and one-half ago. He introduced a right-winger running for the House from some place down South. O'Donnell talked a little about some outrageous remarks this campaigner was making. The most prevalent one O'Donnell singled out was the remark that we don't need anything but the Bible for our guide as to how we deal with certain issues. For every transgression, the Bible tells us the remedy. (I am paraphrasing O'Donnell's rendition of his commentary on this candidate. But the information relayed was done with a totally serious face.)

At one point, Lawrence O'Donnell opened his Bible and announced he would like to read from the Book of Deuteronomy. (Paraphrasing again) Any man who is caught lying with a woman, and the man is the husband of another woman shall be put to death.)

At that point, Lawrence closed his Bible and looked into the camera unsmilingly and said, I look forward to Congressman So and So's draft legislation on the issue of adultery being punished by the death penalty. I believe Newt Gingrich should be held accountable for committing adultery on his first two wives.

Fade to Black.

This segment was so stunning to me I thought it was brilliant. And O'Donnell rendered it so straightfaced.

Once again, all quotes loose paraphrasing....

but CNN is acting a lot like a bush league Fox more and more every day.

I really have trouble watching any of them, and often get stuck in a doctor office or lobby somewhere and try to blank out the senseless blabbering of those hosts and pundits which is almost as bad as Access Hollywood or one of those trash programs. Alex Witt is one name I remember as being pretty bad.

But from 6 am until 4 pm it's Faux Lite.

Even my big brother (who voted for Obama) said he prefers CNN over MSNBC because he thinks MSNBC is "too slanted". Apparently he and so many other viewers have much to learn about how CNN gets their kicks from false equivalences and trying to bend over backwards to please the wingnuts.

I haven't watched CNN by choice for 2 years.

been longer than that with me. NPR,NYT, FAUX, MSNBC since the departure of Keith O. All in the same boat now. The boat of profit and/or ideology. Hell cause of arianna, I can't in good conscience follow huffpost. American MSM media has no shame or integrity anymore.

I've tried on occassion, but I'm left gulping for air after listening to Blitzers gasping, hyper-ventilating style of droning.

With my tinfoil hat firmly in place, I think they are still trying ways to steal the election and if the polls show they were in a tie, the stolen election would go down much easier.

Either that or they are trying to catapult the propaganda.

but of note a DUer from Ohio said they've already had to deal with 2,000 cases of voter irregularities there

There has already been so much of this going on and how much more is going on uncaught and unnoticed?

In any event, the right wing spin is making me dizzy!

Our country has been lost to the right wing and other dark interests.

The snap poll last night on cnn.com was 75% Obama 25% Romney.

We're watching something very ugly in progress.

100%.

watch certain segments of certain shows on MSNBC. I rarely go to HP now too. I mainly the Obama Diary and DU.

What horseshit the corporate media serves up...

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

NOW I know what k & r stands for. k&r to you, too, my friend!

Welcome to D.U. and peace to you.

You didn't see a sweating, lying Romney, fumbling to get through the debate
You didn't see Obama utterly kick his pathetic ass all around the globe.

And if you did see that, what you saw won't really change things.

WFT????

Jesus Christ what a bunch of fucking gasbags.

They are absolutely meaningless. Anybody at this site who still doesn't understand how the electoral college works should be banned.

When one posts a national poll, that is equivalent to saying, "I'm an idiot. I don't know anything about our electoral process."

There are 10 states that matter, period. Namely: NH, PA, OH, WI, IA, VA, NC, FL, CO, and NV. National polls mean nothing.

Or you haven't heard them bleating about the chances of Romney winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college? They're itching for a way to void the election if Obama wins.

Stopped a long time ago.

But on another note, enjoy the garden kpete!

at all seriously

is full of shit.

In other words, yeh, turn it all off, they are all lying to us.

Only tune in when hurricanes hit just to see how many reporters they order into the path of the storm.Too bad Dana Bash never gets blown away....

Besides USA has SUV Law Order marathon on tuesdays.

I do have to admit that I did start to watch their post-debate show but the minute they started yapping about Mittens looking in charge and commander in chiefish I flipped that channel to Criminal Minds. At least in that show they call the crazy people out and lock'um in jail. Unlike the m$m which calls them presidential.

Mittens is nuts, which is what I took away from the first debate, and the second and most defiantly the last debate. He talked way to fast, repeated false information, basically acted like a whinny brat in all 3 debates. Ryan the same - he is an annoying twit with ears.

Anyway all I know is early voting starts in my area oct 27 I plan on voting either monday oct 29, or on my birthday the 30.... We are in that I 4 swing area, sadly not orange county (they vote more dem then where I am). I'm in seminole county and surrounded by rethugs, ick!

They NEED to manufacture DRAMA for viewers to keep tuning in,
and sponsors to keep paying Premium prices for spots.

The sadder secret is that both Political Parties also NEED for the election to appear
Too-Close-to-Call so that they can keep the last minute donations pouring in.
Elections & Perpetual Campaigns are a Multi-Billion Dollar Big Business now in America.
THAT is a LOT of jack,
and it all dries up if one party gets too far ahead.

Think about this: if they reported "Obama's got this, hands down", Dem voter turnout would be lower than if they reported "Aaaaahh!! Too Close to Call!!".

I'm still just completely amazed at 40% of the country is supporting Willard. I could understand the "1%" richest, but come on. I guess Ignorance and Apathy rule: Don't Know, Don't Care = Happy.

CZ

...and giving The People clear, precise issues to vote FOR
with a proven track record of fighting FOR those issues.
Scamming The People is NOT a good election strategy.

MORE Americans (50%) have become apathetic about our Political System in general because of all the bullshit.
Tell the Truth, and let the chips fall where they may.

A totally useless network that is Fox lite.

They are a pathetic joke. After the first debate Gergen stated that Romney was 'short on facts but won the debate on style.' What the fuck? When you are short on facts you don't win the debate on anything, you lame ass piece of status quo shit.

When Cafferty started speaking out against the Iraq war, they took him off the morning show & gave him his little 5 minute segments on Wolf's show. How much longer will they let Soledad run the morning show? She's been fired up & acting like a real journalist!

and that goes for clear channel as well. i havent watched msnbc,cnn, and i grew tired of russian times as well. really dont watch any regular network news any more or read local or regional news paper ( esp our local rag witch calls itself the union democrat (by name only). and i wont read google or yahoo news if i can help it

Perhaps a powerful entity, such as Rupert Murdock, might be offering money- big money- to reporters and commentators, (the ones on networks that FOX wants to control, which is all of them), like a rewards program for showing how crafty they are at spinning whatever comes along in Romney's favor.

Something like:

"We are watching you,_____,(Fill in the name of the talking-head), and you may be offered a big job on FOX if you say the right things, the right way, that is, the FAR REICH way."

(And the female news 'common 'taters' are the most obvious. They sit there almost snorting, with their mouth twisted into a sneer. J'ever notice? They make me sick.)

Of course I could be wrong. This is only a theory....But why else would they bend over so far backwards to be complimentary to Romney?

No way does it have anything to do with patriotism because they are hurting our country with their support of these Republican liars.

It's got to have something to do with money....it's personal.

to head off this smoke and mirrors claim that they have somehow won. Epstein, on Bashir's program, pointed out that Rove has conducted this sort of BS campaign for 3 elections. Remember Bush struttin' around looking presidential? Remember McCain pretending he had won a debate when he fell flat on his face. Ignore the facts? Hell, now, get out there and fight the bs.

NB
Check out the time on that thread, coincidence? Maybe, who knows

It starts with Rove sending the day's talking points to Drudge; from Drudge it goes to Limbaugh/hate radio; next is Pox News; after that CNN, and then onto the rest of the corporate media.
I knew something was askew in 98 when not one news source reported that Clinton was impeached under specious grounds. They all cheer leaded for Clinton's impeachment.
The confirmation came in 2003 when the Bush cartel took the country to war premised on lies and the media refused to cover millions marching in the streets opting to promote an illegal, immoral invasion, destruction and occupation of a sovereign nation that neither threatened nor harmed the United States.
And when Howard Dean was the first public figure to say the war was a hoax he was pilloried by the corporate propaganda stooges. And when Howard Dean said the capture of Saddam Hussein didn't make us one iota safer the corporate smear merchants pitched a fit. Dean was right and so were the millions marching in the streets. The media/propaganda outlets were all wrong.
Every day more Americans are turning to alternate means for their information. As the propaganda outlets in the old Soviet Union became a national joke, the "official" news went toward lining bird cages.
It's only a matter of time before CNN and the rest get the message: No one care what they have to say.

for the demise of the President. Not going there again.

decade ago. Thank God for the internet as a news' source.

I now go learn to ride my new bicycle, which I just received yesterday. It's my middle finger to the oil industry.

Fresh air and a firmer tush I hope and no worries other than being squashed by a semi.

Clearly a draw.

I've had CNN as my homepage for a while. What's happened to them? Anyway, I've got a much better homepage now, hello Democraticunderground.com, good-bye CNN!
