We won in November IN SPITE OF the mainstream media.

MSM is owned by corporations who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. So why the hell are we giving them ANY credibility in their pronouncements on health care or anything else?

1. The MSM vastly preferred Obama to McCain. And to Clinton. He got a good ride from them. nt

3. The MSM just couldn't find a way to sell McCain to us.

They tried their best to be even-handed, but McCain gave them nothing and Palin kept them even from maintaining a straight face.

Can't believe any sentient being would claim the media was against the first black man to run for president.

2. What exactly did we win anyway?

Nothing gets passed unless it is approved by the Republicans so I am not sure what we won? :shrug:
