One need look no further than pampered, multimillionaire, news celebrities fresh from the make up chair declaring a that a glitchy website is somehow synonymous with an event where over 1,800 Americans suffered violent deaths to see that the mainstream media has lost all touch with reality and it's humanity. They are so encapsulated in their corporate, DC cocktail party, news bubble they are completely unaware just how offensive these statements are.
From what I can tell every major network has had one of their anchors or pundits repeat such nonsense with little to no outrage. This is where the notion of fair and balanced has brought us. In order to be fair to Republicans we must accept that non-responsive mouse clicks is the same as wholesale death and destruction.
With very few exceptions the mainstream media has become a whorehouse of imbeciles, spokes models, and bigots. There is not a week that goes by without some trusted news organization falsely reporting everything from Supreme Court decisions to outright lying over Benghazi. Correspondents claiming reporting truth is not apart of their job description to legitimizing the views of racist bigots just because she is skinny and has long blond hair.
The mainstream news media is dead. Any credibility it had is long gone.

Nicely put and I could not agree more. They all go to the same cocktail parties and get the same narrative. Now I am seeing garbage that the healthcare WEBSITE is like the lying, immoral idiot son's Mission Accomplished sign. They are all tools.
Peace

(9,314 posts)I am tuning in to Al Jazeera America for updates on the news. A lot of MSNBC is unwatchable at this point - what a shame. I am so disgusted with the chronic sensational criticisms about the government ACA website and how its snafus are going to lead to the collapse of our society, THAT ALONE is making me sick.
