1. A Rare Voice Of Reality
Now they have a EEO hire (yes, I honestly believe that's what she is) from the Moonie Times. Isn't it something this is the only show that gives any credibility to this propaganda rag...a longtime bitch I've had with C-SPIN. She reminds me of the a time I hired a black woman and my very white, Repugnican boss...who needed the EEO points was real happy and then said "had this been a couple years ago, she'd be lucky to get a job here answering the phones". I sure hope she gets a nice paycheck and washes the blood off that money.

:hi:

3. So They Give The Guardian 30 Minutes And Her An Hour?
Not much bias there would ya say?

Kudos for the callers who have pointed out the black flag ops this paper stands for...and somehow a nicer website proves something? Sounds like they're desperate for hits. She should be grateful Moonie's helicopter didn't completely crack up or she'd have to get a real job.

4. Same old same old
Maybe one morning I'll call them and ask how they feel now that Scotty has stated publicly that the WH send their talking points to the Fox bosses. I'm sure they sent them to GHWB's Moonies as well.

5. I've Been Long Convince This Show Is Part Of The "MOD"
Message of The Day...the place where the GOOP plants their talking points that are taken onto hate radio...from there its spun and whipped up and by the evening its the "big topic" on the cable food fights. It just seems too co-incidental to see them cover an obscure topic that somehow becomes a major issue later in the day...for example all the attention they paid to DADT earlier this week. And, do we even need to mention the direct pipeline this network has to the AEI and Heritage institute...there are days I swear that's where their studios are located.

Scotty just pushed back the curtain a little bit. I imagine one day we'll learn about how elaborate and complex the "messaging" system ranged...Gannon-type "journalists" who came up through the Morton Blackwell school that have infiltrated newsrooms all over the beltway...many unseen and unheard who find ways to get the message out and the tongues wagging.

Cheers...

6. Of course it is - I watch for the callers
They're discussing the trip now. Scully is spinning the talking point about him not meeting with soldiers.

7. You've Seen My Comments About Skully In The Past
And somehow I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing the old trick of one GOOP caller, one Indie Caller, One GOOP caller, one Democrat, One GOOP...I've caught him doing that in the past.

8. Skully is a hack
he knows and we know. He's also an idiot - he sure didn't understand Colbert's satire and I'll never forget that.

9. Hopefully Others Here Are Seeing It...
Way too often you see people post as if C-SPAN is a truly neutral source of information. They think its a "public service" and don't realize its funded by the major cable corporations who have benefitted greatly from repugnican deregulation and funnel a lot of money into this operation to put on a pretense of being "independent". Maybe a few others will see this as well and then a few more and a few more...ya never know.
