The Birther shit could not have been so widespread without the collaboration from the

so called liberal press.
Same with this Rice BS. They are all pushing this Bullshit.

1. Exactly

Clearly, anyone can get airplay just by spewing stupidity .... as long as one has an "R" after their name.

3. You are so right! Nt

2. Wayyyyyyyy too many pundits talking about it endlessly every day. PULeaaaaaaaase.

4. I've been ranting about this for years. It is what

makes me crazy the constant repeating of anything the right says. I can't stand all the negative crap that gets said about the left but the right is rarely criticized.

5. The news stopped being about the news long ago

Now, like everything else, it is all about the money. Garbage gossip sells.

6. If It Bleed It Leads...

The cables live on "controversy"...if there's not a real one, they make it up. They can't get excited over the budget or medicare or social security...numbers aren't sexy...seeing Gramps throw another tantrum, now that's video gold.

It used to be we got about 24 minutes of news a night...the networks made wise use of the time. Today it's 24/7 with that same 24 minutes of news...and hours and hours and hours to spin.

8. I'm sick of it

Why is GEM$NBComcast covering this shit all damned day and all damned night?
This is a fugging Fox piece of fiction - just like the fugging birthers

[KharmaTrain]

9. What Else They Got?

I agree...I'm sick of all the attention Gramps is getting. Even those panning this thing seem to have gotten caught up in the mental masturbation going on. Where's a good "war on Christmas" when we need one?

7. yes they are.

10. Bg difference between the two

At least with the birther shit, they presented it in somewhat of a mocking fashion, unlike the conspiracy theories of the right regarding Rice. They try to present that shit as being legit.
