The MSM just runs wild with...

...any little story such as the "bitter" issue with Obama.

Any shiny little trinket and the talkinghead fools blabber on and on.

Thank God I only tune in for a few minutes to see what they are up to.
I pity those who actually rely on this tripe as their news sources.

The U.S. msm "news" is a shallow pit of confusion aimed at stirring the shit for the sake of ratings.
What a sad joke they are.

1. Agreed

That's a large part of why I seldom watch television.

My wife got hers hooked up to cable, but she's out of town for a week, and I haven't turned it on since she left.

2. Welcome to the Club

From my perspective as a Hillary supporter, what you are seeing here with the Obama comment is about 10% of what Hillary/Bill have been dealing with during the last 4 months. Don't know what comments were occurring here yesterday, but I know that the bloggers at the Orange Place (including Keith Olbermann) were making a lot of fun of the Hillary supporters protesting at NBC/MSNBC yesterday...how does it feel do be on the other side?

Obama will only be grilled on this for the next day, but if Bill Clinton had said it, it would be the lead story every day for the next two weeks.

totally opposite perspectives..

But I had meant to add a warm welcome to DU! I hope that it settles down soon- this is really disheartening.

3. Rarely do you see criticism on candidates based on what they do

It's only what they say. Think about it: Hillary has been trashed for things she's said, not things she's done. Same for Obama. It's terrible.
