Why Has NBC News Appointed Ted Cruz As Media Star of Shutdown???

[Stuart G]

Sen. Ted Cruz: 'The Senate needs to act'
to avoid government shutdown

At the NBC web site, Cruz is discusser in charge of this...That headline is a "breaking news" This news broadcasting company gives legitimacy to this idiot/asshole by giving him an exclusive interview, as if he is the true answer. He really deserves an exclusive room
in a jail forever, for caring so little for the people in his state who have no insurance and will die from that..It pissies me off, that a major network after the obscene scene that Cruz presented to this country, is actually given prime time legitimacy on Meet the Press...To hell with Meet the Press, to hell with NBC News........and Cruz will rot in hell...

1. American culture is so perverse

that the anti-hero is glorified now. Cruz is portrayed for being a super star for what he is doing. So sad.

5. Ted Cruz is the Canadian pilot of the 2016 Republican Clown Car, the new Rick Perry.

They are preparing for the long list of idiots who will take the lead in the primaries

2. Because all the major networks are nothing but corporate propaganda.

Please turn that shit off.

Hope it helps.

3. I didn't watch it...I went to the web site.

Why? To get a quick look at the major stories of today. First I come here to DU. Then I usual take a peek at NBC News website. Then maybe a couple of others. I haven't watched Meet the Press in years, and I won't. Sometimes, I catch that CBS crap news Sunday show, but that is in the car listening to the radio. It is off in 2 or 3 minutes after my stomach starts to act up...

4. Because he's controversial

and controversy sells

7. Maybe if RW sycophant, David Gregory, would do his job and grill that asshole...

There's no sense in lending a complete fool legitimacy. But when was the last time the major news media truly did their job, rather than doing what their corporate bosses tell them to do?

8. Because he's the Darjeeling of the Tea Party Republicans?

Cough, cough...

9. I don't care about Tea Party..Giving legitimacy to Ted Cruz is like....giving legitmacy to..

smoking cigarettes like the media did in the 40s and 50s. Many movies had stars smoking as did ads everywhere. There was a true belief that it was OK. Cruz and his beliefs will actually result in killing our people, just like cigarettes do/and did.
