MSNBC's "Live Coverage" of Obama signing bills protecting homeowners from fraud & foreclosure

consisted of them showing video of him while talking over it the entire time until they cut away from it completely. They didn't play one word of him speaking. :eyes:

2. CNN showed him from an angle where one of the teleprompter was almost in his face....

(it was a deliberately chosen "side" angle that I haven't seen them use till now).....

as he started talking, Wolf Blitzer came back on and said they would cover it later,
when they deemed it appropriate, saying there was more news to cover......first news up;
Pelosi vs. Gingrich! I really can't believe the boldness of these cable assholes!

7. I saw that, too...

"We'll continue to monitor it for you. Meanwhile, we have more news to cover..." And of course that "teleprompter angle" is used with him. Otherwise, how will people be "reminded" that Obama is the "TOTUS" and not the "POTUS"? :eyes:

8. They went on to discuss the case of the mother and son who are missing after

refusing chemo. They have no right to call themselves "The Place for Politics."

4. Is there ever going to be a network

Edited on Wed May-20-09 04:43 PM by Cha

that reports the real news important to our country and not just focus on manipulation and manufacturing?!

You'd think they'd make a mint and the current ones would have to scramble to keep up.

Didn't cnn use to be a respectable name in news? And, msnbc was # 3 and they're coming up in the ranks, thanks to people like Olbermann and Maddow..so that should be a huge clue as to how to act like reporters instead of yammerheads.

6. I know..if all of us who see and hear

Edited on Wed May-20-09 04:46 PM by Cha

about it on DU do some calling and writing.. it should make it dent.

Thank you again for all your action regarding the corporatemedia because we have to keep letting them know that they're not getting away with anything. Who knows? Someday we might get what we want in that department like we got a President who's real.

9. So did I. I know MSNBC's number by memory.

They're exhausting me, too. Too bad not enough people seem to be doing the same.
