I'm sick of the MSM showing the negative images portrayed by the Tea Party clowns
They never show positive images or talk to people in favor of health care reform. It reminds me of the 60's when all you saw on the TeeVee were images of blacks rioting or being sprayed by water cannons and Whites protesting en masse against civil rights.


Fuck the MSM and I will begin my writing of emails to the network heads tonight. Fucking buttwipes.

1. They use cameras to make the Teabag crowds look bigger
than they really are.

They don't show the supporters of reform much?

10. I wonder who was the MSNBC web page editor today?
It would be worth a phone call to expose him.

3. I saw one shot with some idiot
that had a black effigy hanging. At least that is what it looked like to me.
While it disgusts me, I am hoping that these images are exposed so those tyhat have been fooled by these clowns see what they really are.
Bring the cockroaches into the sunlight.

4. Not me. I am glad to see the racists exposed.
I am also not a big fan of the bill but I want it to pass, partly because of the dickheads who oppose it.

5. I saw those same images on TV in the 60s. I always thought those
images, that you described, were helpful for the civil rights proponents because itsshowed the extreme violence and bigotry of the protestors, and that was something that America was ready to move past.

The problem today is that the media makes excuses for the nastiness of the tea baggers and they even call them patriots. I don't know what it will take for the M$M to turn against this crowd. Maybe if one of their own is a victim of violence at the hands of these "patriots" they will wake up.

7. They know it will work and be popular
and they (the leaders of the MSM and both political parties) all went to the same high schools if you know what I mean

9. Hee, I had to read this a couple times.
As in, "I'm sick of the MSM showing the negative images...why can't they show more POSITIVE images?"

But having cleared my head, I agree with you. :hi:

11. This is not your father's main stream media
Any resemblance of Wolf Blitzer, Brian Williams or David Gregory to Walter Kronkeit is pure coincidence and has no basis in reality.

12. They were going to do a feature on the thoughtful and civil side of the Tea Party
but...
