My guess is that in this case, gun culturists would prefer the camera to stay on Obama, this one time.

They are greedy the corporate media.

they are first and foremost the corporate media as opposed to being the peoples' media.

Thanks for the thread, global.

repeat the same info and opinion on the shooting over and over again.

I got sick of both of these channels along with FAUX news.

Hence, I dropped by cable teevee from the 57 channels w/nothing on to 13 channels w/nothing on instead.

This act alone saves me a whopping $65.00 a month which is enough to pay my garbage bill and my sewer bill. I cannot think of a better thing to do with the savings then spend it on disposing of garbage and sewage, and yes, that is what MSNBC and CNN (and FAUX) are to me -- garbage and sewage.

I suggest you do the same if possible. You'll be saving lots of money and gaining some sanity it seems to me.

Amplified antenna in the attic and an occasional borrowed DVD from the free library.

Some form of cable that is.

I watch a lot of stuff on line on pbs.org.

What a grand variety of stuff there is on there. Under the NATURE section there are at present 80 programs to watch that are ~1 hr. long.

I spent a good part of my weekend watching the NATURE series programs.

I so very glad that PBS.org is still around for those of us that can't get out much and don't have a lot of $$$ to spend.

Cheers!!

Nothing new there. If people were wild about economic speeches that's what they'd get. Instead they'd rather hear about the shooting in DC and flooding in CO.

It's not a conspiracy. Just business as usual.

was making political points against the Republicans.

No way.

Wonky speeches don't get eyeballs and increase revenue. Sensationalism does.

and their brainwashing has worked wonders in both dumbing down the American People and in creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It wasn't really the Republicans that damaged the credibility of the supposed "liberal media" so much as it was the corporate media themselves.

MSNBC didn't cut Phil Donahue because for lack of "sensationalism" or ratings as he was #1, but he was liberal.

That was simply a case of the corporate media; MSNBC in this case supporting Republican contentions that the media was too liberal while curtailing public debate from a major political wing during a critical time in our history.

- you can bet that I've got my eye on what's going on in DC. It has nothing to do with sensationalism. It has to do with the well-being of my son. Thankfully, he's several blocks from the Naval Yard so he's out of immediate danger. However, much is unknown at present - including the number of shooters and where the others may be if there was more than one.

Pretty sure I can find both a transcript of the presidents speech as well as a video of it, too. There's no need to watch any speech live in this day and age.

Come on, is that honest? You think the media is looking out for people's best interests? Or, is this a sarcastic op?

It's what, in the olden days, we used to call a vicious cycle.

Did he introduce anything that will create jobs? Screw "the economy"- the only ones who make money from "the economy" are CEO's and people who already have everything.

Did he say anything that will make life better for the Working Poor (f.k.a. the Middle Class)?

Or was it just a talk?

OBAMA ASKS CONGRESS FOR $20 AN HOUR MINIMUM WAGE

That might turn a few heads

the teevee media are part of the '2%', even tho they aint.
