The "Equalization Factor" is behind the absurd media overcoverage of " Obamacare Rollout" [View all]
As has been pointed out many times by many people here, the mainstream media attempts to show that "they are all alike" Democrats and Republicans, "all the same crooks" ..as they say. In this way, the mainstream media helps the Republicans to draw in those who would normally fall in the Democratic camp. There are many uninformed and totally biased people who vote against their own best interests. Something happened recently which may have tipped many of those into thinking seriously about forgetting that nonsense and becoming Democrats . That was the "Government Shutdown." That gave incredible coverage to the utter stupidity of the Republican talking points. Incredible numbers of people saw through that rhetoric to the truth, which is the Republicans only care about themselves and those they hold allegiance to: the rich and powerful who couldn't care less about those workers laid off, and those programs stopped. Self centered bastards. True definition of Republicans.
What was the mainstream media to do? How could it recreate that feeling that all of them are equal? The shutdown stood all by itself as a horrendous action by the Republicans. Now the mainstream media also holds allegiance to the rich and powerful. It wants a so called " equal playing field" which glorifies their reporting and ultimately supports their view point. Republicans are over represented and the mainstream media knows it, and wants to keep it that way. Why? Because the mainstream media is a "big business" protected by Republicans. (Disney, Comcast, Paramount Pictures..)
Therefore, that is the answer as to the absurd "over coverage" of the "Obamacare Rollout" It is an attempt by the mainstream media to remove the stigma of the "Government Shutdown" and return the electorate to the so called: "they are all incompetent crooks position. That is why David Gregory got the orders to compare the rollout to the beginning of the "Iraq War. " Anything that will trick the uninformed to believe that "the rollout" is equal to the "shutdown" is very important.
Equalization is very important giving the Republicans a chance to control one branch of government. There are many in that 70 percent that viewed the "shutdown" as "awful" that would change parties. Those would come to us, and the Republicans would disintegrate if it happened for good. It is no mistake that the mainstream media has overcovered a mistake by Obama. Just like it is no mistake that it under covered the very small increase in health care costs the last few years. Anything to keep the "equalization factor" in place. They are, "all incompetent crooks" is the mantra that the mainstream media will present to keep it going to protect itself and the Republicans. It does not matter if in the process the mainstream media looses all sense of honesty and fairness in news coverage or anything else. The mainstream media is Republican and wants to keep the Republicans in . It makes a lot of sense to me. That "shutdown" threatened the existence of the Republicans, and this "rollout coverage" is an attempt to save them. It an ugly lie, , but what else is new?
