Our media is very, very, very sick
Edited on Tue Mar-27-07 10:03 PM by StefanX
Read (some or all of) this long righteous rant by Hunter on DKos:

And watch the nauseating Chris Matthews clip cited by Glenn Greenwald:

...and you will see that our media is very, very, very sick.

1. Amen!
It explains the explosion of the blogosphere. People know they are being lied to by the MSM.

6. Too busy waiting for the media to talk about 2008......
while yanking our chain.

Folks will soon remember as their candidates start getting dogged. Won't be long, but it will be too late, again. Kinda of like the talk about voting machines that you don't hear about. Right after losing an election, we'll bitch about it some more.

7. How dare DUers criticize our aristocracy
Seriously, slap a powdered wig on Gloria Borger and she could be Marie Antoinette.

8. K & R.
Everybody should read. Thanks. Fox News is chock full of assholes-I don't watch them. But all you had to see and hear was Chris Matthews the day W had that tantrum or fit or whatever it was, with the servicemen and women and their families behind him. Chris Matthews said he "liked" it when the President is strong. (I'm sure the floor in front of him was covered in drool.) And Wolf Blitzer, another disgrace. And who just interviewed Gonzo-Pete Williams? No follow-ups, no pressing any real point-I mean, Jesus Christ, Gonzo is telling him he wasn't involved, then he might have been, then he didn't know. The fact that Gonzo runs a cabinet department with thousands of employees, saying that as an excuse for not knowing this or that. That is your fucking job, man-if you're not on top of what is going on, you should be called out for the incompetent liar that you are. I thought the Nixon administration was bad (and they were), but this bunch takes the cake.

9. I've been tempted to install a sneeze guard, a la the salad bar, just to
avoid being sprayed by spit every time Tweety or one of his ilk gushes all over Chimpy the Imbecile.

Didn't he say something like, "He's a jet-fighting STAR! Women LOVE this war; women LOVE this pResident!" the day of the "Mission Accomplished" Lie/Waste of Tax Dollars??
It was just breathless and fawning and I nearly hurled. And most of them are like that.

KO's pointing out that Fox Fraudcasting had a little caption, "Democrats Vote for Defeat in Iraq" or some damn thing...their partisanship and stupidity is breathtaking in its blatancy...

Shameless.

10. The flight-suit show of Matthews' was a new low.
It was a real stomach-turner. I almost forgot about that one. Now you have to watch Matthews' crush on Rudy. His comments are moving right up on the old Hurl-O-Meter. :puke:
