7. Do You Really Think The Corporate Media Is Not Covering This Because Of Word Choice?
Edited on Tue Jun-28-11 12:02 AM by TomCADem
The bottom line is that Democrats are saying exactly what is being proposed, but unlike Republicans, they are not getting free uninterrupted airplay of their talking points. Indeed, the DNC and DSCC have been running ads smacking Republicans for trying to kill Medicare in order to pay for taxcuts to the rich. Paid ads! But, do you see them for free on Fox News? Of course not.

Indeed, what does the corporate media do? The corporate media discredits such ads, by running "fact checks" calling such claims lies as noted in this DailyKos article:

So, are we going to start resisting the corporate media's narrative, and stop blaming Democrats, and start holding Republicans accountable?

Or, is just too darn irresitable to buy into the corporate media narrative and blame Democrats, and Give Republicans a Free Pass.

The Politifact BS fact check just underscores the degree to which the corporate media has stacked the deck against Democrats and the left.
