The round table this morning on This Week is absolutely clueless.
They don't get what the complaints are. There is actually one woman on the panel who doesn't understand why if OWS people are focused on $1trillion in student loan debt (huh?), that people aren't demonstrating on campuses. She appears to think that the only protest happening is in NYC.

1. Kicked&Recommended...
You got that right. Amanpour always waits to the last minute to ask what she should have asked in the beginning and the segments are to short and the panel is usually compose of mainly republiCONs and DINO"S or Donna Brazile..

2. That's right...and we don't need the clueless MSM...
...to make OWS a success. WE have the Internet and our own media. We'll just go around them.

The revolution WILL be televised--just not on the MSM. And it won't matter.

They think they define us. They think they can make or break OWS. They're about to see "We The People" go around them and succeed without them.

Pretty soon, they'll be begging us to make them relevant--because we're making the MSM irrelevant.

3. Clueless? I would argue that the corporate media know exactly what they're doing
And I agree about their ever-increasing irrelevance. Here's to their eventual obsolescence!

9. I think you are onto something. My husband was commenting this morning
on the noticable absence of Teabagger stories since OWS has taken off.

5. How (and why) anyone still watches this shit is beyond me.
I have enough sources of frustration in my life. I'm off the Sunday morning talk shows.

8. They don't want to mess up their beautiful minds


with no stinkin' reality...


The Sunday Parrots stopped being relevant years ago. A few old people turn them on every Sunday - merely to reinforce what FOX told them to believe this week.

Other than that, they serve no useful function to any thinking, breathing beings.*





*Exception: They will show up at your parties.

10. As an "old person" who does not watch FOX, I trust you will put that very broad brush
away and remember that all are needed in this fight. You too will be old someday.

11. Huh?


I said "a few old people" not "every old person."

I'm working my way up the ranks myself, thanks....

Sorry if you took that the wrong way.
