***NEWS MEDIA DESPERATE: When will they get a FUCKING Clue?***

[FrenchieCat]

Obama gave a speech to the nation on the serious issue of Race and how we should have a conversation about it. And then, maybe out of shame and embarrassment, these "don't have a fucking Clue" Pundit heads continue with more of the same; "GOTCHA's"--

So Obama said "Typical White".......and that's like an impeachable offense..... :wow:

These News heads are so fucking clueless, until I simply turned my TeeVee off, and started playing Will.I. Am's "Yes, we can" on my computer. Now, I'm much more relaxed.

But still, I have something to say to these pinheads nevertheless:

"LOOK, DO WE HAVE TO DRAW YOU A FUCKING PICTURE?
DON'T MAKE THE NEWS,
REPORT THE NEWS
AND STOP BEATING TO DEATH WHAT REALLY DOESN'T COUNT.
THIS ELECTION AIN'T ABOUT YOU PUNDIT KNOW NOTHINGS
AND YOUR DUMB ASS UN-INSIGHTFUL BIASED ASS ANALYSIS,
THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT US.




As the TYPICAL LEFT WING LIBERAL BLOGGER
and the daughter of a TYPICAL WHITE mother,
and a TYPICAL BLACK father,
I give the media a TYPICAL and hearty FUCK YOU!"

[LSparkle]

1. THANK YOU for giving voice to my own rage ...

I'm PROUD TO BE A TYPICAL WHITE PERSON who takes NO OFFENSE at what he said.

The media at this point are confirming that they are, in actuality, a crib full of
2-year-olds.

[FrenchieCat]

7. No problem!

Really.....there is so much more that they could be doing to inform us, instead of trying to manipulate us...that what they do should be a crime.

[rzemanfl]

2. Great post. Terrific picture, although feel sorry for the lady with

the white hair, I hope I never get arthritis so bad I have trouble giving someone the finger....

[FrenchieCat]

26. LOL!

Well, She's trying.....and that's what counts! :thumbsup:

[JVS]

27. is that picture from a movie or something?

[FrenchieCat]

35. I stole it...so I don't know.

:evilgrin:

3. Have you seen this petition from MoveOn???

Dear MoveOn member,

This week, Barack Obama gave one of the most honest and inspiring speeches on race in American history after weathering days of the media's relentless, divisive, and racially charged attacks. But have you wondered where these attacks came from and why they dominated the news?


Reporters like NBC's Tim Russert focused on the "Reverend Wright controversy" only after FOX and other right-wing media did. It happens over and over: FOX airs a right-wing smear and the mass media repeat it. Film director Robert Greenwald just released a short video called FOX Attacks Obama: Part 2 which shows how it happens.


We launched a petition demanding the big networks stop parroting FOX and distracting Americans from real issues. Now's the last chance to sign—we'll hand-deliver your signatures to major media outlets next week. Watch the video, and sign the petition, here:


<http://www.moveon.org/r?r=3495&id=12364-3040984-oqnP.m&t=434>


The petition, which we launched with Greenwald's Brave New Films, says: "FOX is a Republican mouthpiece, not a legitimate news organization. Real news organizations must reject FOX's smears of Barack Obama, not parrot them and distract Americans from the pressing issues of the day." The more signatures we deliver, the bigger the impact—so please tell your friends. (continued)

[FrenchieCat]

13. Yes.....Thank you,

All who read this post should sign that petition!

They don't know it yet, but the last election was the last election
that this media controlled.

We have the money, the numbers, the technology and the issues on our side.

They already come to us for their news as it is....how else could they talk about some funky "Snubgate" for like 2 days? No other way.

But what is worse....is that the stories that they harvest from us are the stupidest ones that they can find. That's what sickening....they don't even have the good ethics of at least ripping off the stories from the bloggers that are actually important.

[Yes We Did]

22. OMG, you are just awesome!

I had to log back in just so I could give this a K&R.

[FrenchieCat]

25. !

:blush:

[MH1]

4. Recommended for the great graphic.

Pretty well sums up my feelings about the media on most days.

Oh and I'm not "typical" anything (as far as I can tell) but I don't get the feeding frenzy around the word. Other than "we got nothing, so we'll try to make something out of nothing".

[thoughtcrime1984]

5. I agree, and am pissed as well!

Fuck the MSM, they try to make the news, not report it.

[still_one]

6. The only TV news source I watch is Bloomberg. Since 2000 I boycotted the other slim

they don't report news, they are entertainment for morans

Actually, I think it is even more insidious

The media has their share of responsibility for the Iraq war, and it is not in their interest to have the candidates focus on the issues that WILL affect people, but to create a distraction, so they can continue the same BS

I only hope people wake up to the con game being perpetrated against them by the corporate media

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Right on the mark!

:rofl:

:kick:

[cbayer]

9. Why do so many here support them?

By listening to them, quoting them, linking to them, we do nothing but give them credibility.

As someone who gets the vast majority of my news from the LA Times, PBS, BBC and NPR, I have to say I haven't even heard of most of the media people that are talked about around here.

I wouldn't know who Keith Olbermann was if i woke up in bed with him one morning. And he, I guess, is or was one of the "good guys" who just happens to get his bread and butter from the MSM.

I recognize that there is concern about how they influence the general electorate, but why do we continue give them any credence at all?

[Skidmore]

10. Frenchiecat, I know this may not help right now but the truth is that

the longer they keep this illusion of a horse race going, the more money the media makes from ads and ratings. And the more relevant the Chris Matthews believe themselves to be. For the media, this is not about truth or justice or even the good of the nation--it is about money.

We are the change we seek. One person at a time.

[gulfcoastliberal]

11. I'm playing a lot of call of duty 4 online these days.

And when I watch teevee, it's not for their version of "news".

[Cha]

12. They don't want us to have Obama

as President so they had their jackals find something else to rage on about. If Obama wins it's going to be because The People say Not This Time!

Righteous Rant, Frenchie..I give it 5 Fucking Stars! :patriot: :patriot: :bounce: :kick: :party: :bounce:

[FrenchieCat]

19. They ain't supposed to be about what they want......

That's why we have to come up with something to get them to see it our way.

Maybe like that guy on Fox who walked out, cause he actually heard what Obama said in that speech, there is hope.

[Cha]

30. I didn't hear about the fox guy walking out?

That's some Speech! :D

[PM7nj]

23. They are afraid of him.

They are terrified so they are doing everything they can to bring him down, just like they did to Edwards and Kucinich.

[Cha]

33. Edwards, Kucinich, Gore, Dean, and Kerry...

Oh, and Max Cleland and I'm sure there scores more good men and women who have tried to really make a difference in our country but the mediawhores have the bully pulpit. Wasn't it bil clinton who signed away the Fairness Doctrine? How ironic.

[tabasco]

14. When they are no longer the propaganda arm of profiteering corporations?

That would be my guess.

Ain't gonna happen until there is some independent ownership.

[FrenchieCat]

17. Perhaps that's their problem with a President Obama......

who I'm sure saw their cheerleading us to war.

[Adelante]

15. It's driving me mad

I have one lousy news channel and this is what they do.

[FrenchieCat]

20. It's not like Hillary has a chance to win ......

that's why this is so messed up.

[grannylib]

16. Non-outraged typical white woman checking in. What a tempest

in a teacup. Move ON, for heaven's sake.

[greyghost]

18. Middle aged white man who was born and raised in PA and voting

for Obama, checking in.


The MSM, with few exceptions, can eat shit and die as far as I'm concerned.

[Megahurtz]

21. Lol!

Kick.

[Bensthename]

24. The media knows how to keep this primary going, ex TX and OH primary week

They sure beat the hell out of Obama the few days leading up to that primary to make sure Hillary did so well.

I give credit to the media on those Clintons wins.
They ran the 3 AM call 24/7 and started saying she has more experience. Though the following week they said maybe she didnt have that much.
Obama Muslim garb, also given full attention for days.

Ugh, sad..

The pockets of the media win in the end and the people lose.

[Oilwellian]

31. What they didn't report about TX in particular...

Obama wound up with more delegates than Hillary...Obama won TX because it's the delegates that are counted at the end, yet they still paint it dark blue as a Hillary win. That's outright deceptive. On top of that, Obama was down 20 points in TX 3 weeks before the primary. For him to make up that much ground within 3 weeks is stunning to say the least, yet I never heard it mentioned by the MSM. They have tried their hardest to push Hillary ahead of Obama. I'm thrilled to see the people aren't buying what they're trying to sell. Finally, the people are beginning to realize how they're being manipulated by corporate controlled media. People should ask themselves WHY the corporate controlled media wants Hillary as the nominee.

Great post Frenchie....I went and played golf today...no TV and no DU. My spirit has been refreshed. :D

[FrenchieCat]

32. We've got to work on that some more.....

give people other type of exposure.

That's why Obama's the man. Hell, he can just have rally after rally in state after state. By the time he's done, America will be fired up and ready to go!

[City Lights]

28. You rock, FrenchieCat!

:toast:

And I second your hearty "FUCK YOU" to the media!

They can kiss my typical-white-woman ass!

[cliffordu]

29. Again, FrenchieCat, you hit it on the nose.

Kudos and thanks...!!
:hi:


Love the animation, too....the one in the middle looks exactly like my grandmother..

[stillcool]

34. I called the yahoo's yesterday...

and I sent them an email today. Every day they mention race. Every damn day. I am going to email them every time I hear that they've brought race into the discussion. It may not 'matter' one iota, but fucking A I've got to do something.

[live love laugh]

36. May I join you?

FUCK YOU Media Whores.

[CitizenLeft]

37. you said it, FrenchieCat!

...and I'm stealing that "give 'em the finger" graphic, while I'm at it! :hi:

[L0oniX]

38. LOL ...that pic is rad.

[ClayZ]

39. K and R

40. Strong tendancy to race bait in our media. These news anchors can never take a honest look at

themselves.

[casus belli]

41. Word.
