Cable News Last Night

[xotoxi]

I was just flippin' through the stations last night.

CNN was covering Haiti.

MSNBC was covering Haiti.

FoxNews was covering the Massachusetts Senate rate.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Well really, what's more important to Americans?

The disaster in Haiti or the Senate race?

 

[Xenophon]

I watched the Fox report at 7, the lead story was haiti.

Maybe you have a strange TV.

Why would the Massachusetts senate race be important to Americans? I can see it being important in Massachusetts. I can see the result being of some importance to some Americans. But the vote isn't for nearly a week and most of it is bullshit politics as usual, with the media supercharging the issues as best fits their respective agendas.

In any case, to say that it is more important to Americans in general that the death of tens, or possibly hundreds of thousands of people would be to give credence to the view that Americans are heartless, arrogant, insular and altogether too self-absorbed.

I have not discussed the Massachusetts senate race with anyone. I have however discussed the tragic situation in Haiti.

FWIW, the lead story on the Fox, CNN and MSNBC homepages right now is Haiti.

I wonder why libtards feel the need to think they have the power to write the moral rules and decide what is and is not important to other people.. beats the hell outta me.

Damn Obama. He obviously caused the earthquake in Haiti to distract Americans from the Massachusetts Senate race!

Probably for the same reasons that some Republicans do.

 

[Dr.House]

Thats weird I was watching those 3 last night and they were talking about Haiti on Shep smith on fox news and the MA senate race on CNN.

Then later they were talking about haiti on cnn and scott brown on fox.

I didn't turn on MSNBC for more than 2 min so i'm not sure about them.

have you figured out why Mass. is important yet Bishop?

 

[slackjawed]

I watch all of those stations, and all of them have been reporting on haiti almost full time. The op is deluded if he thinks otherwise.
We better have reporting on other issues because this group of idiots we have in power has already stated they "will let no emergency go wasted". They will use anything as cover, for their own advantage.

Many in america are viewing the MA Senate race as a referendum on the democrat party's behavior since they took over congress in 2006.

The line of thought is that if Scott Brown, a Republican, Can win in the very blue state of massachussetts (notice the spelling) then it shows the american people are fed up with the dem congress' way of doing things since 06 when they took over.

Some people even go further and say it is a referendum on the Obama administration's policies.

Did I help?

 

[TheSuaveOne]

Not to mention if Brown should win (still doubtful imo) he would break the 60 vote majority the Democratic Party holds in the Senate.

Alas it will be too late to stop the destruction of our health care bill.

Wow! Such talk about Fox news
And all the media actually.

 

[TheSuaveOne]

CNN was covering Haiti.

MSNBC was covering Haiti.

FoxNews was covering the Massachusetts Senate rate.

I was flipping around at another time...

CNN was on a commercial break.

MSNBC was covering Beck/Palin and then Limbaugh.

FoxNews was covering Haiti.

Funny how they don't all do the same programming at the same time.

-TSO

 

[Liability]

Yeah!

And there was also that time during the Katrina crisis where FoxNews didn't cover the Katrina story at the exact same moment as CNN and MSNBC!

So, really, there you have it. Nothing else need be said.

FoxNews is clearly a conservative propaganda organ for the evil GOP and they don't give a damn in hell about people of color!

Unless there was oil in Haiti.
