MSM Mythology

[Obamanation]

From the network that showed Marco Rubio drinking from a water bottle 155 times in one day, NBC’s Chuck Todd talked last week about the “mythology of the big, bad, non-conservative media.” Perhaps Todd would feel better if we... called it “the big, bad, non-truthful media.” Case in point, the sequester.

ABC News headline on 2/21: “57 Terrible Consequences of the Sequester” And CNN windbag Wolf Blitzer had, under the red CNN logo, the words MASSIVE CUTS COMING SOON. WHAT A JOKE!

Chuck Todd, what is not mythology is this:

The US is borrowing 46 cents for every dollar of fed spending.
We are 16.6 trillion dollars in debt.
According to a WSJ article last November, the US has 86.8 trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities.

We are broke, busted, bankrupt. The feds are alcoholics whining about a cutback of 50 to 49 beers a day. Yes media, there will be a “sequester.” One that will make the ’29 crash look like a walk in the park!

Thanks - pp

Every time I hear about the so-called "MSM" liberal conspiracy, I'm always reminded of Hillary Clinton's moaning about the vast right-wing conspiracy just a couple of decades ago.

What if it's both? What if there really is a vast right wing conspiracy to convince us there is a vast left wing conspiracy?

The MSM is all but dead... Cronkite began its demise back in the sixties with his left-wing agenda and now, thanks to buffoons like Mathews and Gregory, it's irrelevant. MSNBC is basically tabloid TV for the mentally challenged, low-information voter.

Well explain something to me...
If In 2008 1,160 employees (85%) of the three major broadcast television networks, GAVE The Democratic total of $1,020,816 with an average contribution of $880.
By contrast, only 193 (15%) of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863.
The average Republican contribution was $744.

So why would someone be so stupid to donate to Obama AND THEN write negative stories and push for fair and balance information??

85% of the above employees GAVE to Democrats!

Explain how come only 29 percent of the narrative on Governor Romney was positive while 71 percent was negative.

So please explain how these FACTS 85% donations by news media to Democrats, 71% negative stories ran about Romney and a MSM editor thinks Obama is a god...

How much of that 71% negative reporting was generated by the moron Romney himself? I mean...let's face it. He had a habit of sticking his foot right in his own mouth, didn't he?

By the way...learn a little history. Al Gore believed the media was against him in 2000.

The Raw Story | Gore breaks silence on media coverage of 2000 election

For that matter, so did Herbert Hoover in 1932. The truth is that nearly every losing candidate since the dawn of the news business has blamed his loss, at least partially, on unfair coverage.

Jon Stewart is correct about the MSM.
