2. But....MSNBC had the all important sky-cam discussion.

I watched for a minute before turning back to C-SPAN. They had a 'serious' discussion of how the sky-cam came to be at the event (CNN's idea), and how it might backfire on Obama since, to them, it presented an 'imperious' view. I think they probably received a RNC email to this effect and just had to spend time on it. The MSM is insanity.

4. The only imperious view is the one down BROKAWS FUCKING NOSE!

After we win in November, we MUSt set about to destroy the corporate media. They are our greatest enemy!

3. Damn them!! This is important and who wants to hear constant blather?

I'm watching C-SPAN 'cause I knew they'd do it, but I would have at least thought they'd give some time to veterans speaking, or at least Susan Eisenhower. BAH!

8. That's right!

They created the meme, and they shape the meme and continue it with their technology. They are the gatekeepers of information, and they show only that which they want to show.
