In reply to the discussion: ‘Meet The Press’ host caught misquoting Obama [View all]Le Taz Hot
(22,271 posts)65. Great post!
Very informative. And it illustrates why MSM "news" is becoming increasingly irrelevant. SMART people don't want the bias and they don't want others sifting through the stories and deciding what is important and what isn't. Why is Lindsay Lohan more important than global warming? It isn't. I'm also sick to death of the "soundbite news" where they are almost literally reading you the headlines then moving on to the next headline. Nothing in-depth and when they do try to go in-depth, it's usually wrong because nobody seems to be willing to call bullshit when it's right in front of them.
Thank the goddess for the internet or this country would be no better than the Soviet Union during the height of communism.

Have to forgive you because you are new. You should use the sarcasm emoticon.

There was that show where Cheney was on, telling one lie after another, and Russert just SAT THERE.

No, we need a person who represents NO ONE, just reports and moderates without editorializing!

Oh how I miss the days when journalists peddled truth instead of narratives.

David Gregory is in full-out fallatio of the GOP, giving Ralph Reed the deluxe treatment.

How did Ploufe respond? I've heard Obama say close to, if not exactly, what Gregory claimed.

David Gregory does too much news and issue "creation" - he's HORRIBLE and highly subjective!

We need to take back the "Public Airwaves!" 6 corporations own 90% of media!
