Where the f*** is the media??????
The minority party is killing people in this country, and the so called "journalists" do nothing and say nothing. All the care about is whether the president emote or not.


Screw all of them.

2. Consider who owns the vast majority of "the media".
They pretty much all belong to the minority party.

3. Exactly. They should be having non-stop coverage of every Senator who voted against
unemployment benefits, Anderson Cooper should be "keeping them honest" by interviewing them and asking them the hard questions, Lisa Myers should be doing investigative reports on the connections to big businesses of all those who voted against it, etc.

21. And Andrea Mitchell "reported" it as "Democrats failed to pass the measure..."
with a "mumblemumble" about a party-line vote from the Repubs.

6. I did hear the story on CNN a few minutes ago -
"The Democrats failed to pass the Jobs/unemployment bill" Not - "The Republicans voted as a block to kill the unemployment bill."

15. The "media" are businesses, producing whatever they believe will draw the most viewers and readers
Are you still under the delusion that they are there to deliver actual information?

The minority party is killing people in this country...

Sounds interesting. Links, please.

20. I'm sure they'll get around to it.
Now, if they're not saying anything by this evening, then I'll be very surprised.
