Clinton's speech indicted the Corporate Media as the GOP lie machine's co-conspirators.

[blm]

The average citizen viewer of Clinton's speech should NEVER have been hearing the dismantling of the GOP lies and attacks on Obama for the very first time.

The corporate media has given THOUSANDS of HOURS of airtime and gallons of ink to the GOP over the last few years, allowing the GOP to lie WITHOUT CORRECTING the lies as one would expect from any ethical news outlet.

1. "ethical news outlet".

[enough]

2. Yes, that's a major point about the speech. While it was going on, I was

wondering what all those "journalists" are thinking while hearing all this spelled out. But I suppose most of them aren't thinking about anything at all except their careers.

3. The 'librul' media should be the liberal's next big fight - starting with now.

I don't know if it's The Newsroom, or what, but I am at the point where I cannot take their constant spin & calling it news.

HuffPo has called out Erin Burnett AGAIN today for lying on air. That's 2x within a month. Why does she still have a job? How many more lies is CNN going to allow her?

If we don't speak out, then we get the msm that we deserve.

4. She's married to Wall Street

That's why she still has a job, a probably the reason she was able to get any job on cable news in the first place.

Awesome! I hope the Newsroom is room is making a lot of people angry and want to fight these bastards.

It is time to hold the media COMPLETELY responsible for this whole mess.

Bushco couldn't have done any of it without them.

Remember all the lies before the war, how they couldn't(wouldn't!) even do 5 minutes of research.

When the UN was presented with the Uranium forgery THEY LAUGHED it was so badly done. They disproved it with a 5 minute google search. It was so poorly done, wrong names, wrong letterhead.

But the media just kept reporting every lie Bush would tell.

They FUCKING SUCK and we need to stop them!

They are responsible for the deaths of millions of people in Iraq.

They are responsible for the theft of the social security trust fund for wars and tax cuts.

Those liars need to be held accountable.

12. Erin Burnett is doing what CNN has been PAYING her to do - spin for the financial elite.

6. Most Definitely NOT! That's one of the Beauties

of Clinton's Speech, though. So Brilliant. How else they gonna find out!?

Thanks blm!

That's another aspect of Clinton's Speech that would make an Excellent Campaign Ad!

7. It's time for us to stop just accepting this bullshit

proposing a new DU Group - Occupy the Media (from your laptop) - anyone with me?

10. Yeah, there was nothing this political wonk didn't know

but the average person should be better informed and the media is failing them miserably.

[blm]

14. I know - All Clinton was doing was reciting what ALMOST ALL OF US here have said and

a handful of alert journalists. The problem is that the 'handful' of journalists who access accurate information and analysis have no influence on the 'mainstream media' that speaks to most Americans.

[tavalon]

15. That's why I call them the lamestream media

Others call them media whores.
