The RIDICULOUSNESS of the MSM
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 07:05 PM by FarLeftFist
Already today, more journalists have asked "did Weiner break the law?" than EVER asked "did George W. Bush break the law?"

This country is headed for the shitter. I wish they were this rabid about who caused the economic collapse or the thousands of other things WAAY more important than this.

1. It was dumb, but it does give you a sense of why America is going to fall soon.
I don't care if he ripped his clothes off and went running through the halls of the Capitol, in comparison to the way America has fallen.

We will never, and I mean NEVER hear about the suffering of average people like we hear about the dude iNookie-ing.

2. Was it stupid? YES. Are humans perfect? NO.
I didn't vote for his penis, I voted for his policies, which I still stand by.

6. Finally, some perspective!
Thank you, I know why I don't watch TV much anymore.

7. This lets people judge and make fun of another person in politics who
they can see destroyed by the media and allegations true or not being flung around for the scandal and money to be paid to women he may have had 'relationships' with.

Asking about GW Bush is just going to question our governmental process, it is a downer, like the war, it isn't fun, no one wants to be upset by important issues.

8. that's the kind of medium it is -- it panders
to talk about the economic situation in any depth they would have to educate their audience. But cable news is more of a kind of hypnotic titillation. An endless amnesiac tickertape of punditry, prognositication and puffery.

9. It's really pathetic.
Imagine how informed the public would be if there actually WAS a "Liberal media bias". Instead we have a nation of reality show fans who use their chests as a serving table for their chips.
