WTF! Obama at the White House with the winning Navy Team, and MSNBC shows 30 seconds
while the talked over the President speaking!
and then they moved on.

It is almost like they don't want to show Barack Obama
when he can be less than serious.

They also don't want to show him cavorting with our Armed Forces.

I wished that MSNBC would just STFU and just shows President Obama,
without their dumbass comments.
We didn't elect these newsreaders,
and I prefer my news without censors!

I want an Obama channel......

4. I'm thinking the Canadian tv station CBC
would show more of President Obama with the Navy Team than the corporatemediaWhores of America.

11. We have the Pentagon channel
:grr:

We do need a channel devoted to the presidency..With digital media there's no reason to NOT have it..There re plenty of channels available, and certainly enough material and people to provide info..

When a republican is in office there is one...Fox.. (and more importantly when they are OUT of office, Fox becomes the anti-president channel)

13. Go watch the imperial military channel on cable TV. Navy Seals Rock!
One of the photos at the centre of legal action taken by five Navy SEALs.




Five US navy SEALs and the wife of one of the men have sued the Associated Press and a San Diego-based reporter, claiming the news organisation endangered their lives and invaded their privacy by publishing photos of the elite unit apparently abusing Iraqi prisoners.

The lawsuit, filed yesterday in San Diego federal court, marked a broader legal claim by the Coronado, California-based SEALs, who had earlier filed suit against the AP in state court after it published the 15 photos in December.

The photos depict SEALs posing with bloodied and bound prisoners apparently taken during raids on civilian homes.

AP reporter Seth Hettena reported that the photos, date stamped May 2003, were placed on the photo-sharing website Smugmug.com by a navy wife who said her husband brought them back from Iraq.

Dave Tomlin, assistant general counsel for the AP, called the legal claims by the SEALs "groundless".

12. They also had his comments on the memos and the earlier photo shoot

they did a follow up on his cabinet meeting and the $ 100 million savings.

they showed a big part of Gibbs press conference.


I wasn't watching every minute today but it seemed that Obama had virtually taken over MSNBC today.

I was wondering what the Republicans are thinking watching our Man of Steel go from event to event.

The biggest news of the day, simultaneous invitations to Abbas, Nethanyu and Mubarak still not yet in the news.

14. I was going to start a thread saying they have NO right calling themselves "The Place for Politics."
They almost NEVER show an entire Obama event. And today it was a few seconds and then back to what-the "Facebook Murderer" or whatever? :eyes:
