The Corrupt Media is in control!

I have come to the conclusion that the problem today is not the corrupt politicians - it is now 100% the fault of our media. MSNBC and other's ONLY cover (front page) negative aspects of the Republican Party. They hide the negative stuff about the Democratic Party. I remember when you could watch any news program and get an objective story. Now, the newsmedia openly supports one political party and all stories support (and hide) all aspects of that party. If the news media truely reported the news - does anyone actually believe Obama would have been re-elected? Yea, I know FOX News supports the Republican Party - but that is one against a bunch of other News companies - so relax Obama supporter's. The point I am making is the news is useless when it relates to a Political Party and that hurts all of America...

Let's don't give the corrupt politicians a pass, but the brainwashing corrupt media is definitely the main problem. Every time I say that I am met with jeers and hoots from those *cough* Larry Gude *cough* who insist that people are intelligent and have minds of their own.

To paraphrase from some movie that I can't remember: a person is smart; people are effing stupid. In ChristyVrainia we would strip the rights of anyone who rhapsodizes over how smart Jon Stewart is and throw them right smack in the gulag to rot for eternity.

I am sorry DJ were you making a point, a Dancing Star went by ........


seriously though ....

.... the Lame Stream Media is corrupt, while people are smart, if a story does not fall that their feet or get blasted across Facebook ....

.... a LARGE % of the population is going to miss the story or ignore it because the State Run Media, has vilifie the source as:

[ie the Treatment of Glenn Beck .... how right was he on the Middle East ...]

racist
Homephobic

et:al

Why are you treating the parrot like a rational human being who can understand questions? He's just going to come back with, "Bra-a-a-a-ak! Faux news sux!"
